Charming Victorian terrace near parks and cafes — ideal first home with upgrade potential.
Victorian mid-terrace with period features and stripped wood flooring
A characterful two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in the heart of Pontcanna, offered as a freehold with period detail and a bright, practical layout. Large sash windows and stripped wood floors preserve original charm while the modern kitchen, utility and neat bathroom provide comfortable move-in accommodation for a first home or city base.
Outside, a low-maintenance paved courtyard and small front area offer private outdoor space without heavy upkeep. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the house well-suited to remote working and everyday city life.
Buyers should note material factors plainly: the house sits in a high-crime, very deprived area and attracts above-average council tax (Band E). The building’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to have no installed cavity insulation, which may mean retrofit works and associated costs. The plot is small and there is a single bathroom, so those needing larger gardens or extra bathrooms should consider space limits.
Overall this is a solid, character-rich home for a first-time buyer or couple seeking Pontcanna lifestyle close to parks, cafes and cultural venues. It offers scope for targeted improvement (insulation, cosmetic upgrading) to increase comfort and long-term value, but purchasers should budget for potential retrofit work and be comfortable with the immediate neighbourhood profile.
