This two-bedroom mid-terraced cottage situated on South Street in Bridgend presents a mixed bag of features. Its key selling point is undoubtedly its location. Situated within the sought-after Brynteg and Oldcastle school catchment area, and conveniently located close to Bridgend town centre, the property offers easy access to local amenities, schools and transport. The nearby Bridgend train station provides good links to Cardiff and other areas, adding to its desirability.

However, the property does require some modernisation. The provided images showcase a property that, while functional, shows its age. The interior would benefit from a refresh, with updates to the kitchen and bathroom being particularly advisable. A new coat of paint and some minor repairs could also improve the overall aesthetic appeal. The garden, though present, appears small and could use some landscaping and maintenance to fully reach its potential.

The absence of plot size data in the initial listing information, and the inconsistent data among the nearby listings makes an accurate comparison difficult. However, comparing it to similar properties in the area, the asking price appears reasonable but not excessively so, considering the need for modernisation. Ultimately, this property is likely to be appealing to first-time buyers or investors willing to undertake some renovations, seeking a conveniently located property within a desirable school catchment area. The property represents a viable option, though prospective buyers should be prepared for investment in updating the property.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
