Summary - 98 NINIAN ROAD CARDIFF CF23 5EQ
6 bed 2 bath Terraced
Large period family home near Roath Pleasure Gardens and Cardiff High catchment.
Six double bedrooms across three floors
A striking double-fronted Victorian terrace on Ninian Road, this large family home offers genuine space and period charm. Six double bedrooms and four reception rooms spread across three storeys give plenty of flexible living — from formal entertaining to home working — while large sash windows and high ceilings let in abundant natural light. The property benefits from pleasant views over Roath Pleasure Gardens and an enclosed rear garden with lane access and a substantial concrete storage shed.
Practical family features include a substantial kitchen with pantry/scullery, sun room, utility and cloakroom, plus purpose-built storage. Good local transport links and the Cardiff High School catchment make the location particularly attractive to families seeking established schooling and easy commutes. The house sits on a decent plot with a paved front path and mature borders, creating a welcoming street presence.
Buyers should note this is an older property (circa 1900) and, while very characterful, it will need ongoing maintenance and selective updating. The walls are cavity-built with no confirmed insulation, the sun room is single glazed, and the double glazing install dates are not known. There are two bathrooms to serve six bedrooms, which may be a consideration for larger families or for layout improvements.
Energy performance is rated EPC D and council tax is Band H (very expensive), both important cost considerations. The wider area is classified as very deprived despite being a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood; prospective buyers should weigh local socio-economic factors alongside the property’s size, location and schooling advantages. This house suits a family wanting character and space who are prepared to invest in sensitive updating and running costs.
