Chain-free three-bed in Cathays — central, parkside and ready to personalise.
Chain-free Victorian bay-fronted terraced house
A traditional bay-fronted terraced home in central Cathays, offered chain-free and ready for a buyer to personalise. This two-storey property delivers sensible living space across an open-plan ground floor and three bedrooms upstairs, plus a modern refitted bathroom. The location is a major draw — a short walk to Cardiff city centre, Bute Park, hospitals, universities and frequent transport links.
Practical features include gated rear access for off-street parking, an enclosed garden, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing (installed before 2002). The house dates from the early 20th century and retains period features such as bay windows and high ceilings, offering good scope for sympathetic refurbishment to increase value.
Notable considerations: the property sits on a small plot in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood and the local area scores high on deprivation indices — factors that affect resale and rental markets. The building’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to have no added insulation, and some rooms show dated decor, so buyers should budget for insulation, cosmetic work and potential updates to improve energy efficiency.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located opportunity for first-time buyers or investors who want a centrally positioned period home with parking and garden. Chain-free status and proximity to amenities make it a straightforward purchase, but realistic expectations around refurbishment and the surrounding area will be important.
