Spacious three-bedroom Victorian terrace in Penylan, Cardiff High catchment.
Victorian bay-fronted terraced house with period features
A bay-fronted Victorian terraced house offering spacious family living across multiple floors in the sought-after Penylan area. The property retains period features such as high ceilings, cornicing and a bay-windowed living room, and provides three well-proportioned bedrooms plus a separate reception room and a bright kitchen/diner. A low-maintenance rear garden extends the living space for outdoor use.
Practical strengths include Freehold tenure, good broadband and excellent mobile signal, proximity to parks (Roath Park, Waterloo Gardens) and local schools including Cardiff High catchment. The house is large internally (approximately 1,275 sq ft) and sits in a quiet, low-crime neighbourhood with easy access to local amenities and public transport.
Buyers should note a number of material considerations: there is only one bathroom, the plot is small, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. Double glazing was installed before 2002, so windows and insulation may benefit from updating. Council tax is listed as expensive and the wider area has a measure of high deprivation, which may influence community services and long-term value in parts of the locality.
This house will suit families seeking school catchment and character, or buyers looking for a sizeable period home with potential to modernise. It offers immediate living comfort while also presenting clear opportunities for energy and layout upgrades to increase long-term efficiency and value.
