Set on a traditional Victorian stone terrace in a sought-after Abercynon location, this compact four-bedroom home offers practical space for families or investors. The layout includes a welcoming porch, reception room, kitchen/diner, downstairs WC and four upstairs bedrooms. A private rear garden and external shed add outdoor space and useful storage or workspace. The property is freehold with double glazing and gas central heating, ready to occupy with scope to personalise.
For investors this property shows a strong headline figure — a reported 6% rental yield — and sits near local amenities and a railway station, supporting tenant demand. For a family, the four bedrooms provide flexibility for children, home working or guest rooms, while the small garden and shed offer an outdoor area in a town-fringe setting. Council Tax sits in band A, keeping running costs low.
Notable constraints are practical and local: the house is small in overall footprint with a small plot, and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect heating costs and comfort without upgrades. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which can influence long-term resale and rental pricing dynamics. There is a single bathroom for four bedrooms, and the property will benefit from targeted refurbishment to maximise value.
Buyers should also note transactional details supplied: a non-refundable reservation fee of £450 (inc VAT) applies, and cash buyers must indemnify searches and surveys as outlined in the terms. Systems and appliances shown have not been tested and are subject to a fixtures and fittings agreement. Taken together, this is a straightforward period home with sensible income potential and clear improvement opportunities.
