Freehold three-bed terrace with garden and garage — cost-effective starter home with improvement potential..
Freehold mid-terrace, approx. 991 sq ft, three bedrooms
This three-bedroom mid-terrace in Maesteg is a practical, freehold home for first-time buyers seeking space and outdoor access without high running costs. The house offers a generously-sized reception room, a well-maintained garden and a single garage — rare extras for a terrace in this price bracket. Internal space is about 991 sq ft across five principal rooms, with mains gas central heating and fast broadband already available.
The property is a traditional early-20th-century build with sandstone/limestone walls (assumed uninsulated) and straightforward, serviceable interiors. Rooms have been maintained rather than fully modernised: expect some dated fittings and the potential to personalise or improve insulation and finishes. There is one bathroom and practical layout typical of Victorian terraces.
Location is a strong selling point: good public transport links, excellent mobile signal and nearby amenities including schools, parks and sports facilities. Be candid about the neighbourhood context — the wider area is classified as very deprived with blue-collar terraces and local households largely endeavouring social renters — which may affect long-term resale and rental prospects.
Overall this is an affordable, ready-to-move-in home with scope to add value through targeted improvements (insulation, modern finishes). It suits buyers wanting a low-cost entry into homeownership with private outdoor space and a garage, while those seeking a fully renovated, low-maintenance property may prefer to budget for upgrades.
