About this home
A DETACHED BUNGALOW ON CASTLE PARK, READY FOR ITS NEXT CHAPTER Some homes are finished for you. Others are waiting for the right person to make them their own. This detached bungalow on Harlech Drive has been in the same family since it was built in the 1970s. That chapter is now closing, and the home is ready to find its next owner. It sits on the Castle Park estate, off Swansea Road in Merthyr Tydfil. Everything is on one level, with three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, so it suits a couple who want space for guests, or a downsizer who wants a spare room and a study without the stairs. Inside, the decoration reflects an earlier style, with room to bring your own taste to each space. You can live here as it stands and make changes room by room, at your own pace, rather than having to redecorate before your first night. One of the bigger jobs is already done. The gas boiler was fitted around 12 to 18 months ago, so heating and hot water are not the first cost on the list. That leaves the budget free for the parts of a home people actually enjoy choosing, the kitchen, the bathroom and the finishes. Outside, a good-sized garage with a working electric door gives useful space for a car, tools or storage. The garden faces east, so it catches the morning sun. This is an opportunity for someone who wants a detached home on one level in Merthyr Tydfil, and who would rather put their own stamp on a long-loved family bungalow than pay for someone else's choices. LOCATION AND LOCAL AMENITIES Harlech Drive is on the Castle Park estate, off Swansea Road in Merthyr Tydfil, within Merthyr Tydfil County Borough. The nearest bus stop is on Harlech Drive itself. Swansea Road is the main road serving the estate. From there you are about half a mile from the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road, and about a mile and a quarter from the A470, giving east–west travel across the Valleys and a direct run south towards Cardiff and the M4. Cyfarthfa Retail Park on Swansea Road is about a mile and a quarter away for everyday shopping.
