A compact two-double-bedroom Victorian end-terrace on an elevated plot with front and large rear gardens backing onto fields. The house has been decorated recently and is offered freehold, ready for someone wanting an affordable move-in option without major immediate works.
Practical features include gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and a ground-floor bathroom. The layout is open-plan between lounge and dining, making the most of modest room sizes and useful for everyday family living or shared first-time ownership.
Material points to note: the property sits in a very deprived ward of Merthyr Tydfil and the terrace was built c.1900–1929 in sandstone/limestone construction with no known wall insulation. There are signs the house may need some damp-related attention and further modernisation to improve energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
This cottage will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home with garden space and scope to add value through incremental improvements. It’s practical for commuters and families needing local amenities and rail access nearby, but buyers should budget for insulation, possible damp remediation and general updating over time.
