Chain-free three-bed renovation with garage and garden — ideal first project.
No onward chain — ready for quick purchase
Requires full refurbishment throughout, solid walls likely uninsulated
Open-plan lounge/diner ideal for entertaining or rental layout
Large kitchen, separate utility and storage cupboard for conversion
Three bedrooms and one first-floor bathroom; single bathroom only
Fully enclosed low-maintenance rear garden and small forecourt
Garage to rear plus on-street parking; useful for storage or tenant appeal
EPC D56; area classified as very deprived — affects demand
A no-onward-chain Victorian mid-terrace on Cardiff Road offering clear project potential for first-time buyers and investors. The house provides generous reception space with an open-plan lounge/diner and a large kitchen, plus three first-floor bedrooms and an existing family bathroom. The layout and room sizes suit a family or rental conversion with scope to modernise and increase value.
Practical benefits include a separate utility room, a large storage cupboard with potential to convert into a ground-floor shower room, a fully enclosed low-maintenance rear garden and a rear garage — rare for terraces in the area. The property is freehold with fast broadband and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the house requires refurbishment throughout, with solid brick walls assumed to have no insulation and an EPC rated D56. The area is in a very deprived ward of predominantly blue-collar terraces, which may affect long-term demand and yield. Plot size is small and the home has only one bathroom as configured.
For buyers seeking a renovation project, this home offers tangible upside from sensible improvements — insulation, modern heating controls, bathroom reconfiguration and kitchen refurbishment could uplift comfort, energy performance and rental or resale value.
