High local crime rate and significant area deprivation
Set in the heart of Roath, this freehold Victorian coach house offers a rare one-bedroom layout with surprisingly large overall space (approx. 1,195 sq ft). Period exterior details and high ceilings give character throughout, while the property’s private access and central location place cafés, shops and transport within easy walking distance. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit renters and short-term let guests.
The interior is arranged over two floors: an open-plan kitchen/reception and shower room to the ground floor, with a generous sitting area and a spacious double bedroom above. The kitchen is dated (1970s) and the walls are assumed to have no insulation, so there’s clear scope to modernise, improve thermal efficiency and add value. This makes the house well suited to investors, first-time buyers looking for a project, or Airbnb landlords targeting Roath’s strong rental market.
Buyers should note key constraints plainly: sale to cash buyers only; the neighbourhood has a high recorded crime rate and the local area scores high on deprivation indicators. The plot is small and some updating is required — the property may need insulation improvements and a kitchen refurbishment to reach modern standards. There is no flood risk and the tenure is freehold, which supports longer-term ownership strategies.
Taken as a whole, this coach house is a characterful, centrally located opportunity with solid rental appeal and clear potential to add value through renovation. It suits buyers who can proceed with cash, are comfortable addressing mechanical and thermal upgrading, and who want a well-located property in a lively, student-oriented part of Cardiff.
