Set on an elevated, south-facing position on Brynglas Road, this three-bedroom mid-terrace offers generous living space and far-reaching town and distant sea views. The ground floor includes a study/home office, living room with patio doors to a small rear garden, dining room and kitchen. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC, with a boarded attic room (Velux window, power and heating) that offers extra usable space or conversion potential.
The house has practical strengths for investors or buyers seeking rental income: it previously held an HMO licence and sits within easy walking distance of Aberystwyth town centre, the university and Bronglais Hospital. On-street parking is plentiful and the property is offered chain-free, allowing a quicker completion for purchasers wanting an early move or rental start.
Buyers should note some material drawbacks. The property dates from the 1930s–40s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which, together with double glazing fitted before 2002, may mean higher heating costs until modernised. The plot is small and the rear garden is modest. The local area scores as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale values and rental demand characteristics despite the low local crime rate.
This home suits investors seeking an HMO/rental opportunity close to the university, or a family wanting generous internal space with scope for energy upgrades and attic conversion. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the elevated outlook, usable attic and proximity to local amenities.
