This bay-fronted terraced house offers a practical, affordable entry into Blaenavon with two double bedrooms and a generous open-plan lounge/diner. Gas central heating via a combi boiler and UPVC double glazing provide everyday comfort, while the enclosed rear yard and forecourt frontage add private outdoor space. A basement store room offers useful additional storage.
Set close to the World Heritage sites of Blaenavon, the location is convenient for local amenities, a primary school and road links to Abergavenny, Pontypool and Brynmawr. Mountain views from the rear yard add a pleasant outlook for a property in this town-fringe setting.
The house will suit first-time buyers or young families prepared to personalise a period terrace. Some updating is advised: parts of the home present as a fixer-upper with modern finishes in reception areas but likely older construction fabric (stone walls assumed uninsulated). The property is leasehold and located in a neighbourhood with above-average crime rates and high area deprivation — factors worth considering for long-term plans.
Practical positives include a compact, manageable footprint (c.912 sqft), affordable council tax banding and potential to improve energy performance (EPC guidance suggests scope to lift ratings). Buyers should inspect the basement store, rear yard and structural details, and be prepared for modest renovation and potential insulation work.
