Summary - 189 CARDIFF ROAD ABERDARE CF44 6RB
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact two-bed fixer with strong transport links and low running costs.
Freehold Victorian terraced house, built before 1900
This two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Cardiff Road is a compact, freehold property offering clear scope for renovation and value uplift. With double glazing fitted after 2002, a mains gas boiler and radiator heating, the house has a practical, energy-conscious starting point (EPC D) for modernisation.
Internally the layout is simple: a lounge, kitchen/diner, upstairs bathroom and two bedrooms. Rooms are described as compact but useable; the small total footprint and room sizes suit a couple, a small family or a rental let. The property is sold as needing renovation, so buyers should budget for refurbishment works and remedial works revealed by a survey.
Location strengths include very good public transport links, proximity to local shops and amenities, and extremely low council tax (Band A). There is no flood risk. Material drawbacks include the property’s setting in a very deprived area with high local crime rates, which will influence resale or rental yields and should be a factor in finance or lettings decisions.
For investors or first-time buyers comfortable with a project, this house represents an affordable entry at a modest price with clear potential to add value. However, factor in renovation costs, possible hidden repair work in an older (pre-1900) build, and the challenges of the local area when assessing long-term plans.
