This three-bedroom end-terrace in Pontycymer offers clear upside for buyers prepared to renovate. The property is freehold, council tax band A, and sits in a quiet street with countryside access nearby. It needs modernisation throughout but the layout — ground-floor lounge, kitchen and bathroom, plus three first-floor bedrooms and an upstairs WC — is practical and straightforward to update.
The location provides good links: roughly 7 miles to the M4 and Bridgend Designer Outlet, with lakes, valley walks and local amenities a short walk away. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. The surrounding area is a very deprived, blue-collar terrace neighbourhood, so consider local market strength when planning resale or letting.
The house will be sold by the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should note auction conditions: 2% deposit (minimum £5,000) or buyer’s fee on exchange, an undisclosed reserve close to the starting bid, and 56 days to exchange and complete. This property suits investors or hands-on first-time buyers looking for a value-add project, not purchasers seeking a move-in-ready home.
