Summary - 165 KINGS ROAD CARDIFF CF11 9DE
4 bed 3 bath Terraced
Three self-contained flats in Pontcanna — immediate income potential and garden space.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace converted into three self-contained units
This Victorian mid-terrace in Pontcanna is presented as a three-unit investment: two one-bedroom flats and a two-bedroom first-floor maisonette. Two units are currently let while the ground-floor front flat is vacant, giving immediate re-letting or owner-occupation options. The vendor reports a potential combined annual income of approximately £29,400. The property is freehold and chain-free.
Internally the building retains period character — bay windows, high ceilings and large front windows — alongside modernised fitted kitchens and double glazing. Heating is mixed (mains gas boiler radiators in some rooms, electric heaters in others), so running costs and refurbishment of services should be considered. EPC ratings range D to E across the units.
The plot benefits from a generous rear garden — uncommon for a mid-terrace — and a small low-maintenance front garden. Located on Kings Road in Pontcanna, the address provides strong local demand from professionals and a café-culture neighbourhood close to city amenities and Sophia Gardens, supporting lettings and future capital growth.
Material considerations: the property sits in an area with higher-than-average crime and notable deprivation indices, which can affect tenant profiles and rental management. Some internal rooms are compact and there is assumed lack of wall insulation in the original stone construction, so further thermal upgrades and selective refurbishment would improve comfort, energy performance and rental value. Investors should budget for planned maintenance and possible consolidation works to unify heating and improve EPCs.
