Spacious four-bedroom period house near Heath Park and Roath Park Lake.
Four double bedrooms with many original period features
A substantial four-bedroom semi-detached family house of character on Heath Park Avenue, offering 1,410 sq ft of flexible living space and lovely, level private gardens. The house retains many original period features — wood block floors, high coved ceilings, stained glass leaded windows and three original fireplaces — giving genuine charm and presence. Recent upgrades include a pitched slate roof (c.2000), a Baxi combi boiler (2015), a modern consumer unit (c.2010) and PVC double glazing (installed c.2015, with further replacements in 2021), while an extended open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting space creates a bright social hub with Velux windows and French doors onto the garden.
Practical positives include off-street parking with a block-paved drive, a single garage and gas central heating. The location is a strong selling point: a few minutes’ walk to Heath Park, Roath Park Lake and the University Hospital of Wales. For families this is a comfortable, well‑laid-out home in a highly regarded area with good local amenities.
Notable considerations: the Energy Performance Certificate is a D and the external walls are cavity as-built with no added insulation indicated, so further insulating works could improve running costs and EPC. There is one bathroom and a separate WC serving four bedrooms which may be inconvenient for some buyers. The property sits in a ward recorded with higher local crime levels and council tax is in band F, so ongoing costs should be factored into budgeting.
Overall this is a charming, characterful family home that combines period detail with practical modern upgrades and scope to improve energy efficiency. It will suit buyers seeking generous living space close to parks and hospital amenities, and those prepared to modernise elements to their own taste.
