This mid-terrace three-bedroom home sits on Market Street in Tongwynlais and offers a genuine renovation opportunity in a well-connected village setting. The house retains period character in its stone façade and brick detailing, while existing double glazing and gas central heating provide a usable starting point for modernisation.
Accommodation spans about 1,056 sq ft over two storeys with an entrance hall, living/dining room, kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, three first-floor bedrooms and a separate WC. The rear paved garden is small and low-maintenance, suitable for outdoor seating rather than large landscaping projects. The property is offered freehold and chain free, so it should suit buyers wanting a relatively quick completion.
Key practical facts to note: the house was constructed before 1900 and the external walls are likely sandstone or limestone without internal insulation, so energy-improvement work may be required. The property is in a very deprived ward and council tax band E (above average) applies. It does not sit in a flood-risk area, and local mobile and broadband connectivity are good.
For families and first-time buyers, Tongwynlais offers strong local amenities, a highly regarded primary school, access to Radyr Comprehensive, and easy routes to Cardiff via the A470 and M4. The home is best suited to someone prepared to invest time and money to update kitchens, bathrooms and energy-efficiency, unlocking better living comfort and longer-term value appreciation.
