This characterful mid-terrace offers a compact, well-zoned layout ideal for a first-time buyer or small family. High ceilings, stripped wooden floors, bay window and cast-iron fireplaces preserve period charm while providing a bright, welcoming living space. The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and fast broadband connectivity.
The accommodation comprises a front living room, separate dining room with French doors to a small rear garden, a fitted kitchen with adjoining storage room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The rear garden includes paved patio, lawn and timber decking — a practical outdoor space for children or container gardening. On-street parking and a small forecourt add kerb appeal.
The house will reward modest modernisation: the decor and some fittings are dated and the EPC rating is E. The building is solid-brick with no known wall insulation (as originally built), so buyers should be aware of potential retrofit costs to improve energy efficiency. The area is described as very deprived, though it sits close to Canton High Street amenities, green spaces (Pontcanna and Llandaff Fields) and good transport links into Cardiff city centre.
Overall this is a period terrace with genuine potential for uplift through targeted updating while retaining original features. A sensible purchaser should commission a survey and factor in energy-improvement works and general modernisation to maximise comfort and future value.
