Summary - Albany Road, Cardiff CF24 3RW
4 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Chain-free four-bed period home with garage and strong redevelopment potential.
• Four bedrooms with high ceilings and period features throughout
• Chain-free, freehold with detached garage and rear garden
• Requires full modernisation; services and electrics unverified
• Cavity walls assumed uninsulated — energy upgrades likely needed
• Council Tax Band F — higher running costs
• Located in busy, amenity-rich Roath; excellent broadband and mobile
• Area shows above-average crime and high local deprivation
• Potential for HMO or refurbishment to add value (subject to consent)
Set on Albany Road in central Roath, this four-bedroom Victorian townhouse offers generous rooms, high ceilings and classic period detail. The property is chain-free and freehold, with a detached garage and a low-maintenance rear garden — a rare combination for this location. Its scale and room layout suit a family home, multi-room rental or a conversion subject to consent.
The house requires comprehensive modernisation: cosmetic updating throughout, likely improvements to heating and insulation, and checks on services and electrics are advised. The cavity walls appear to lack insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency upgrades. Council Tax Band F and an above-average local crime rate are notable holding costs and considerations for buyers.
Positioned in a vibrant, amenity-rich neighbourhood popular with students and young professionals, the property benefits from excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity and easy access to shops, cafés and public transport. For buyers willing to invest in renovation, there is clear development potential to increase value — either by modernising as a family home or repurposing as a multi-occupancy rental, subject to planning.
Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale and original features: bay windows, fireplaces, high ceilings and decorative detailing. Practical positives include a detached garage and a relatively large plot footprint for the street; practical drawbacks are the need for renovation, energy-efficiency works and the area’s higher deprivation indicators.
