Set well back from Newport Road on approximately 0.65 acres, this detached, dormer-style house offers rare space and seclusion within Rumney. The property provides flexible accommodation across two storeys — typically five bedrooms, three/four reception rooms and two bathrooms — with generous room sizes and a large mature garden that suits family life or a substantial renovation project.
The house dates from before 1900 and retains period character, with sandstone/limestone walls and double glazing. Services include mains gas central heating to radiators and a garage with driveway. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the site has no recorded flood risk, making it practical for everyday living once updated.
The property is dated and will need modernisation throughout: cosmetic refurbishment, potential insulation work to older stone walls, and general repairs to the exterior planting and roofline where vegetation is overgrown. The current layout offers clear scope to reconfigure or extend, subject to consents, which could significantly increase value given the size of the plot.
Buyers should note the area scores as very deprived and council tax is described as very expensive; a full survey is recommended to confirm the condition of services, structure and insulation. This is best suited to a growing family seeking long-term private grounds, or an investor/renovator looking for a large-plot project with strong upside.
