Summary - 42 COLCHESTER AVENUE PENYLAN CARDIFF CF23 9BP
4 bed 3 bath Terraced
Period character meets modern family living with south-facing garden and loft balcony.
Four double bedrooms including loft bedroom with private balcony
This spacious four-bedroom Edwardian terrace on Colchester Avenue blends period character with contemporary family living. High ceilings, a bay-fronted reception and original timber floors give the principal rooms real presence, while a modern open-plan kitchen/diner with central island and bi-fold doors creates a bright hub for everyday life and entertaining.
Accommodation is arranged over three storeys, including a converted attic bedroom with its own en-suite and private balcony offering far-reaching views across Cardiff. Two further double bedrooms—one with an en-suite—and a sleek family bathroom give flexibility for parents, children and guests. A handy study off the kitchen provides a home‑office or playroom option.
Outside, the south-facing garden is tiered with decking, patio and lawn, and rear lane access. The house is freehold and located within walking distance of local shops, parks and schools, making it well suited to growing families seeking space and convenience in Penylan.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area with higher local crime rates; the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated; and council tax is band G which is relatively expensive. The plot and front garden are small and any extension or major renovations would be subject to planning consent. Overall this is a generously proportioned family home with appealing period detail and modernised living spaces, best for buyers prioritising space, schools and a south-facing garden rather than a large plot or rural tranquillity.
