Set on prestigious Palace Road in Llandaff, this substantial six-bedroom semi-detached house offers 2,222 sq ft of period character and versatile family space. Large reception rooms, a generous kitchen/breakfast area and three bathrooms (including an en-suite and ground-floor WC) make it practical for multi-generational or growing families. The double garage (access via lane) and decent rear garden with mature planting and a single-storey outbuilding add flexibility and parking convenience in a sought-after school catchment.
The house retains Tudor Revival features — decorative gables, bay windows and timber detailing — that give strong kerb appeal. Key comforts include gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal. The property sits in a well-established, tree-lined residential area with good local amenities and several highly regarded schools nearby, underlining its appeal to families prioritising location and space.
Practical considerations are candid: the property dates from the 1930s–1940s and shows typical period-era construction (cavity walls assumed without added insulation), double glazing fitted before 2002, and an EPC rating of D. These factors, alongside a Band H council tax and the need for potential modernisation, mean budget for energy-efficiency improvements and updating should be factored in. The surrounding area records higher levels of deprivation, though immediate neighbourhood classification indicates many highly qualified professionals.
For buyers seeking a large, characterful family home in a prime Llandaff setting, this house offers a rare footprint and scope to modernise to a high standard while retaining period charm. Investors or buyers planning renovation will find strong rental or resale prospects given location and room count, but should allow for upgrade and running-cost works.
