No onward chain — freehold two-bedroom mid-terrace

Set on a popular Cathays terrace close to Albany and Wellfield Roads, this two-bedroom mid-terrace is offered chain-free and ready for a sympathetic refurbishment. The lounge, kitchen with adjoining utility, and sizeable ground-floor bathroom form a practical ground-floor plan while two first-floor bedrooms — one with a fitted wardrobe — sit above. Loft access provides straightforward scope for added storage or conversion, subject to consent.
The property is freehold and occupies a small, enclosed rear garden that could be transformed into a low-maintenance outdoor retreat. Good local schools, regular bus links into the city centre and easy access to the A48/M4 are strong locational advantages for commuters, council workers and students sharing or renting mid-week.
A firm renovation project: the house requires full modernisation and installation of a central heating system. Interior finishes and some fixtures are dated; the home will suit buyers prepared to invest time and budget to create contemporary living space or to upgrade for the rental market. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area — a potential drawback for home-workers or heavy internet users.
For buyers seeking a value opportunity in a lively, mixed neighbourhood, this property offers clear upside through refurbishment, cosmetic updating and possible loft development. Be aware of the local area’s higher deprivation indicators and plan surveys and checks accordingly.
