Set on Maiden Street in Cwmfelin, this two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers a straightforward, affordable entry to homeownership or a buy-to-let opportunity. The property provides a conventional layout with lounge/diner, kitchen, utility, ground-floor WC, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. At about 748 sq ft, rooms are compact but functional for modern living.
The house benefits from double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, and an enclosed rear garden. It sits close to a primary school and public transport links, giving easy access to Maesteg town centre, Bridgend and Cardiff — a practical location for commuters or tenants.
Buyers should note the property needs updating: likely no wall insulation, older construction (pre-1900) and visual signs of wear consistent with a fixer-upper. Energy rating D and walls “granite or whinstone” mean improvement work could reduce running costs and increase value. The area shows high crime rates and significant deprivation, which affects resale/rental positioning and may influence mortgage or insurance terms.
This home is best suited to first-time buyers willing to renovate gradually or investors seeking a low-entry-price rental with refurbishment upside. The freehold tenure and small plot simplify ownership, but budget for improvement works and consider the local market realities when planning purchase or rental strategy.
