Spacious Victorian family home with character, elevated views and renovation potential.
Four double bedrooms across three storeys, large family-friendly layout
This substantial Victorian semi-detached house on Tyfica Road offers genuine family space across three levels. With four double bedrooms, two kitchens and two bathrooms, the layout suits multi-generational living or flexible home/office arrangements. The elevated front delivers pleasant views over Pontypridd and a decked area for outdoor seating.
Original period features such as bay windows, decorative hallway tiles and bedroom fireplaces provide character and charm. Practical updates include double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and modern kitchen fittings in at least one area. A small rear courtyard and a decent plot give private outdoor space in a town-centre location, within walking distance of shops, schools and amenities.
The house requires renovation and cosmetic updating in places — described as needing TLC — and the solid stone walls likely have no added insulation. Council tax is described as expensive and the wider area records high crime rates and significant local deprivation; these are important considerations for buyers. For those willing to invest, the property represents a chance to restore a large period home and add value while retaining authentic features.
This home will appeal mainly to growing families or buyers seeking a roomy period property with scope for improvement. Its freehold tenure, substantial footprint (about 1,307 sq ft) and proximity to town make it practical and flexible. Viewings are recommended for anyone prioritising space, character and future potential over a turnkey finish.
