Elevated position with suburban views and close to local amenities

This mid-20th-century terraced home on Oak Road offers an affordable entry into Merthyr Tydfil with three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a private rear garden. The freehold plot includes a single garage to the rear and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and fast broadband — practical basics for everyday living.
The property’s compact footprint (approx. 593 sq ft) and traditional layout suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable project with immediate rental potential. The elevated position brings pleasant suburban views and the house sits close to shops, schools and public transport links for easy commuting and family life.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the area records high crime and very high deprivation indicators, the external walls are cavity as built with no added insulation (assumed), and some elements are likely dated given construction era (1930–1949). The single shower room and modest room sizes mean living space is limited compared with modern family homes.
This is a value-driven purchase for someone prioritising location and price over turnkey condition. A straightforward program of updating and insulation work could improve comfort, energy efficiency and longer-term value. Prospective buyers are advised to arrange a survey and independently verify services and measurements before committing.
