This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Jenkins Road in Neath South presents a mixed opportunity. The property’s location is its strongest asset, with its proximity to Neath Town Centre offering easy access to shops, services, and transport links, including Neath train station approximately 1.28km away. The presence of multiple primary schools within walking distance adds further appeal for families.

However, the property is in substantial need of renovation. The interior photographs reveal extensive damage and require complete refurbishment, impacting the overall condition greatly. Walls need replastering or replacing, flooring needs attention and the general state of the house points towards a costly renovation project.

The garden, while present, is currently overgrown and neglected, requiring significant work to transform it into a usable outdoor space. Whilst there’s potential, it needs considerable effort and money to be made into something usable. The absence of a garage is a further point to note.

The listing price of £120,000 needs careful consideration alongside the extensive renovation required. While comparable properties in the area may be listed similarly, this one’s considerable state of disrepair could make it less desirable compared to others in better condition unless the purchaser is planning to do the work themselves. A full survey and detailed cost assessment of the renovation work would be essential before making any purchase decision. Buyers should factor in potential added costs which might make the property less financially viable compared to others on the market.

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