This mid-terraced Victorian property is offered as two self-contained flats, presenting a clear investment or multi-occupancy opportunity close to Cardiff University and city centre amenities. The ground-floor flat includes an open-plan kitchen-living area, a sizeable bathroom and access to a rear garden; the upper accommodation is a duplex with two bedrooms and a cosy living room. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support student or professional lets.
The building is compact and constructed c.1900–1929 with original stone/limestone walls that appear uninsulated. The property will suit buyers seeking rental income or a conversion/refurbishment project rather than those wanting a large family home. On-street parking only and a small forecourt mean limited external space, though the rear garden is useful for tenants.
Notable positives include freehold tenure, two separate flats (flexible income streams), proximity to shops, bars, transport links and a well-regarded primary school. Material issues to note: the property is in a very deprived area with above-average local crime, the walls likely lack cavity insulation, and the building requires modernisation in parts. Council tax is low and flood risk is none.
This is a straightforward buy-to-let/portfolio addition or an owner-occupier who plans renovation. Expect modest room sizes and some updating costs; the layout and location nonetheless provide strong rental appeal in a busy student and city-centre market.
