This Victorian bay-fronted mid-terrace offers three bedrooms, a rear garden and a detached single garage — ideal for a first-time buyer or a family wanting town-centre convenience. The layout includes a bay lounge, kitchen/diner, ground-floor shower room and separate W.C., plus two-storey living across an average-sized 1,022 sq ft footprint.
Location is a genuine strength: Penybont School, Bridgend town centre, Princess of Wales Hospital, the intercity rail link and bus station are all within easy walking distance. The M4 (J36) is about two miles away, and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong, supporting commuters and home-workers.
Practicalities are straightforward: uPVC double glazing, mains gas central heating and a Worcester boiler. The property is freehold with Council Tax Band C and an EPC rating of D. Rear lane access to the detached garage and a courtyard-to-lawn garden add useful outdoor space in a town setting.
Buyers should note clear negatives: the area shows very high crime levels and high deprivation, which may concern some purchasers and affect resale. The house is a period build (pre-1900) with assumed uninsulated solid walls and dated internal decor; some updating and insulation work is likely required. There is one shower room only, and the property will suit someone prepared to carry out medium-scale refurbishment to modernise finishes and improve energy performance.
