A rare Roath investment: this Victorian semi offers two self-contained two-bedroom flats with immediate rental potential or multi‑generational living. The ground-floor flat has its own private entrance and direct access to a paved, multi-level garden with a mature fir tree; the first-floor flat includes an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room and a Juliet balcony. Original period features — coved ceilings, picture rails and bay windows — give character and tenant appeal. Double glazing and gas central heating are already installed.
The property is well suited to landlords, developers or purchasers seeking conversion potential (single-family home or HMO) subject to planning and consents. The layout is flexible but will likely need modernisation throughout to maximise value; finishes are serviceable rather than high‑end. Cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, and an EPC is currently to be confirmed — buyers should allow for energy‑efficiency upgrades.
Practical considerations are clear: the plot is small and the garden is largely paved, the neighbourhood records above‑average crime and sits in an area described as very deprived. Transport links, local shops, cafés and Roath Park are nearby, which supports lettings and future resale. Freehold tenure and an affordable council tax band make the purchase straightforward, but buyers should factor in works, permissions and local market conditions before committing.
