Commercial Road, Machen, Caerphilly

Placed between Rudry and Draethen in the sought-after village of Machen lies Ty Newydd, a deceptively spacious two-bedroom detached home full of charm and original features.

Set in a semi-rural spot with mountain views, this characterful property is within a short walk of local shops, doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, library, schools, and a private nursery. Inside, the home offers generous living space with two reception rooms—one featuring an original open fireplace and the other a log burner—alongside a country-style kitchen with pantry, and a stylish bathroom upstairs.

The property has huge potential and is offered at a realistic price to reflect the need for some updating. There’s a large attic space which could be converted (subject to planning), and a storage room under the stairs that could be adapted into a downstairs WC.

Further features include UPVC double glazing, new radiators, and plantation shutters and blinds throughout. Outside is a recently built garden shed. Though there is no off-road parking, there is a public space directly opposite the house used by residents, and the owners also rent a garage nearby ideal for bikes.

Perfect for those looking to add value or settle in a peaceful yet well-connected location, Ty Newydd offers the best of village life within easy reach of Cardiff, Caerphilly and Newport.
