Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Gabalfa, this three-double-bedroom semi-detached house delivers spacious family living with practical outdoor space and off-street parking. The property’s two reception rooms and large hallway give flexible layout options for living, home working, or play. The rear garden is low-maintenance and secure, suited to children and pets or straightforward landscaping projects.
The home is freehold and of average overall size (about 1,118 sq ft) with a single family bathroom upstairs and a separate downstairs WC. There is scope to extend the kitchen or rear subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions — a clear opportunity to add value for buyers who want more living space. Driveway parking and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity are useful everyday conveniences.
Buyers should note material local factors objectively: the area records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived; the wider neighbourhood includes student-oriented streets and social renting families. The house itself is mid-20th century and will suit purchasers prepared to personalise or update interior finishes rather than those seeking a fully refurbished turnkey home.
Best for first-time buyers or growing families seeking a spacious, well-located property with extension potential. Investors may also find rental demand reasonable given transport links to Cardiff city centre, but should factor in local area challenges when assessing yield and letting risk.
