A substantial, bay-fronted detached home dating from 1927, offering generous living space across three storeys. Original period details — tall corniced ceilings, leaded windows, woodblock floors and a large bay — give the house strong character and scope for a sympathetic restoration.
Set on a decent plot with a private lawned rear garden, attached garage and driveway, the layout includes multiple reception rooms, a 26ft x 21ft kitchen/family room and six bedrooms (two attic rooms ideal as home offices). The property is well placed for Roath Park, local schools, University Hospital of Wales and transport links to the A48/M4.
The house has been in the same family for over 40 years and requires modernisation throughout. Notable issues: only two bathrooms for six bedrooms, EPC rating D, assumed cavity walls with no insulation, and the local area statistics indicate higher crime levels and significant deprivation. Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing installed post-2002 and fast broadband availability.
This is a clear renovation opportunity for a family seeking spacious, characterful accommodation in Heath. The property will suit buyers prepared to invest in updating and energy improvements to unlock long-term comfort and value.
