This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rhiwbina offers a compact, well-laid-out home in a sought-after suburb close to transport and parks. The layout includes an entrance/dining room, generous lounge with bay window, kitchen with store room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom — all arranged over two floors for easy family living or rental use.
Practical positives include off-street driveway parking, an enclosed rear garden with lane access, double glazing and a modern kitchen with built-in oven. The property is freehold and located within a short walk of Birchgrove station, regular bus routes, local shops and well-regarded schools, making daily life straightforward for commuters and families.
Important practical notes: the EPC is rated D and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy efficiency improvements would cut bills and improve comfort. The house is circa 1930–1949 construction and around 753 sq ft — a small overall size with one bathroom — which may limit space for larger families. Council tax is above average and the local area records above-average crime statistics.
In summary, this is a compact, characterful period home in a desirable Rhiwbina location that suits first-time buyers, small families or investors prepared to upgrade energy performance. It offers clear potential but also tangible running and improvement costs to consider.
