Set on a peaceful street in Rhiwbina, this large three-bedroom semi offers 1,421 sq ft of adaptable living space and a generous rear garden. The layout includes two reception rooms, a spacious kitchen, downstairs WC, three bedrooms and a family bathroom — ideal for a growing family wanting room to breathe. Off-road parking and an integral garage add everyday convenience.
The house was built in the late 1960s and requires full updating and refurbishment throughout. Many rooms show dated finishes and general wear; a comprehensive modernisation including kitchen, bathrooms and likely redecoration will be needed. Neighbouring properties have been extended and upgraded, so there is clear scope to add space or value, subject to planning and building regulations.
Location is a genuine strength: Blaen-y-Coed sits within walking distance of Rhiwbina village’s independent shops, cafés and good schools, with Birchgrove and Rhiwbina stations nearby for regular services into Cardiff. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and local crime levels are very low. While the wider area indicators include local deprivation statistics, the street itself is in an established, sought-after suburb popular with families.
Offered chain free on a freehold title, this property suits a buyer prepared to invest time and budget to modernise, or an investor targeting refurbishment opportunities in a desirable Cardiff suburb. Council tax is above average and the property was constructed in 1969, which should be factored into renovation planning.
