A spacious Victorian semi‑detached family home in Roath, offering four bedrooms across two floors and generous living space totalling about 1,400 sq ft. The property sits in a conservation area close to the city centre, with a private front forecourt and an enclosed rear garden with summerhouse and shed. Double glazing (post‑2002) and a gas boiler with radiators provide modern comfort while retaining period features such as wooden sash windows and cast‑iron fireplace.
This house will suit growing families or buyers seeking a period home with flexible living: two reception rooms, a long kitchen/living area, and a useful side room with skylights. The layout and footprint give scope for internal reconfiguration or upgrading to add value, subject to usual consents.
Buyers should note a handful of practical drawbacks: solid brick walls are likely uninsulated so thermal upgrades may be needed; there is only one bathroom for four bedrooms; the plot is small; and council tax is listed as expensive. The property is in an area with very high crime statistics and marked deprivation, which will be a material consideration for some purchasers.
Overall, this rare-to-market period semi offers character, space and proximity to amenities and schools, but requires pragmatic budgeting for insulation, potential refurbishment and local area factors.
