Summary - VICTORIA PARK BUNGALOW, THOMPSON AVENUE, CARDIFF CF5 1EY
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large four-bedroom 1920s family home with park views and scope to modernise.
Direct views across Victoria Park from a corner plot
Set on a rarely available corner plot between Victoria Park and Llandaff, this larger-than-average four-double-bedroom semi-detached house offers generous family accommodation and direct views across Victoria Park. The handsome 1920s double-bay property retains many original period features — high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, stained and leaded glass — providing authentic character and charm. Its substantial footprint (approx. 2,194 sq ft) delivers flexible living rooms, a dedicated games room, and a wrap-around garden suitable for children and entertaining.
Practical positives include off-street parking with a car port and electric point, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted after 2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property is freehold and offered chain free, making it straightforward for families wanting to move quickly. Local amenities, reputable schools, cafés and good public transport links into Cardiff city centre are all within easy reach.
Buyers should be aware of some material considerations. There is a single main bathroom plus a separate WC, which may be tight for a four-bedroom family household. The house was constructed with solid brick walls and is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements and wall insulation may be desirable. Council tax is in band G and described as quite expensive. The wider area shows high levels of deprivation despite low local crime rates, which is worth factoring into long-term resale planning.
Overall this property suits growing families seeking substantial period accommodation with park-side position and scope to modernise and enhance energy performance. The large garden and games room (snooker table included) add immediate lifestyle value, while the layout and character provide a strong base for upgrading to contemporary family living.
