Summary - 143 WOOD ROAD PONTYPRIDD CF37 1RQ
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Compact end-terrace near university and rail links, income-ready for investors.
HMO-licensed three bedrooms, currently let for 2025/26 academic year
A compact three-bedroom end-of-terrace currently HMO-licensed and marketed to student lettings, this property sits within easy walking distance of the University of South Wales and Treforest station. The house is freehold, has mains gas combi central heating, and double glazing already installed — practical basics for steady rental occupation. It is let for the 2025/26 academic year, offering immediate income visibility for an investor buyer.
Accommodation is arranged over two storeys with a bay-fronted living room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor and three modest bedrooms above. The plot is small with a low-maintenance enclosed rear garden and a gravelled front courtyard; internal space is average for terrace stock and will suit student or single-occupier tenancies rather than family living. Council Tax Band B and low local charges are additional operational positives.
Notable constraints: the house is dated in parts and likely needs modernisation to raise rents and long-term appeal — walls are assumed uninsulated (period stone/limestone construction) and the double glazing predates 2002. On-street parking is limited (double yellow lines outside), the surrounding area scores as very deprived, and the neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan student community rather than a family suburb. These factors affect tenant mix, management needs and capital growth expectations.
For investors seeking a hands-on student HMO near campus, this property offers licencing in place, straightforward services (mains gas, mains water/sewerage, good broadband and mobile signal) and immediate let visibility. Buyers should budget for targeted interior upgrades and consider ongoing management due to the rental market and local area characteristics.
