- Large enclosed rear garden, potential to extend (STP)
- Private off-street parking to the rear

Smartly positioned on High Street, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a practical first home or buy-to-let with strong road links to the A465 and A470. The living room is bright and well-proportioned and flows to a fitted kitchen with direct access to a large, enclosed rear garden—useful for children, pets or potential extension (STP). Off-street parking to the rear is a notable convenience in this central location.
The property is freehold, Council Tax Band A and has an EPC rating D valid until 2028, keeping running costs low. The house measures about 719 sq ft and sits in a predominantly blue-collar area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, appealing to commuters and renters who need reliable connectivity.
There are material refurbishment needs: the external roof contains asbestos and the façade shows signs of wear; internal descriptions note potential damp and an overall dated finish. These issues mean the house will suit buyers prepared to invest in modernization and remedial works rather than those seeking a move-in-perfect home.
The surrounding area is very deprived with higher-than-average crime rates, which affects resale and rental considerations. For a first-time buyer or investor with a clear budget for repairs, this cottage represents a lower-entry-price opportunity close to amenities, schools and transport corridors linking Cardiff and Swansea.
