5 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial private plot with coach house and redevelopment potential.
Victorian five-bedroom detached house, approx. 3,376 sqft
Set back from Newport Road in Old St. Mellons, this substantial Victorian five-bedroom detached house sits on very large private grounds and offers rare scope for expansion or redevelopment. Original period features, high ceilings and three reception rooms give generous family living space, while a detached coach house adds flexible ancillary accommodation or conversion potential.
The plot previously benefited from planning permission for two additional detached dwellings with garages (now lapsed), making this attractive to buyers with development ambitions subject to fresh approvals. The house extends to approximately 3,376 sq ft and includes a wide forecourt, garage parking and mature boundary planting that ensures privacy from the road.
The property requires modernization throughout – visible exterior wear and internal refurbishment are needed to bring services, finishes and fittings up to contemporary standards. Buyers should factor in renovation costs and potential timescales for any planning work. Council tax is very expensive and the local area scores as very deprived, with crime levels above average, which should inform both family and investment decisions.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, good road links to Cardiff and the M4, and proximity to local amenities and schools. For those looking to create a bespoke family home, multi‑unit development or an annexe from the coach house, this private plot offers significant long-term potential in a well‑connected location.
