A period Edwardian mid-terrace in Cathays offering clear renovation potential close to Cardiff city centre and the university. The house retains original features such as solid wood floors and character fireplaces, giving a strong foundation to create a stylish, characterful home or a rental ready for the student market.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with three first-floor bedrooms and a ground-floor bathroom. The current layout and modest room sizes suit a practical refurbishment: relocating the bathroom to the first floor is possible, and the property would benefit from modernisation of heating, electrics and insulation (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated).
Practical positives include mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), an enclosed rear garden and good mobile and broadband connectivity. The house is freehold and about 926 sq ft, making it a manageable project for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking value-add in a high-demand rental area.
Material considerations are straightforward: the property needs full refurbishment throughout, sits in a neighbourhood with above-average crime and very high local deprivation, and council tax is above average. Rooms are generally small and the plot is small, so plans should factor realistic space and budget constraints rather than large extensions. Viewing is recommended to assess scope and costs precisely.
