Summary - 13 PEARSON STREET, ROATH, CARDIFF CF24 3EL
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free period house with big potential near City Road and the university.
Stone-fronted Victorian mid-terrace with original period features
This stone-fronted Victorian mid-terrace on Pearson Street offers a rare, chain-free renovation opportunity close to City Road and Cardiff University. The house retains many original features — cast-iron fireplaces, tiled floors, ceiling roses and fitted cabinetry — giving a strong period foundation to create a comfortable, characterful home or rental unit. At about 983 sq ft the footprint feels generous for a terrace, with two reception rooms, a rear garden and scope to reconfigure the first floor to form a third bedroom.
The property is best suited to buyers prepared to invest in a full modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom are dated, some decorative and surface repairs are required and the bathroom is currently only accessible via the dressing room, so reconfiguration will be needed to create separate bedroom access. EPC information and the wall construction indicate worthwhile energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, heating improvements) that could materially raise value and running costs.
Location strengths include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close walking distance to transport hubs, shops, cafés and university campuses — making it attractive to investors, working professionals or first-time buyers aiming to personalise a long-term home. Note practical considerations: the area records higher crime and high deprivation statistics, the plot and garden are small, and council tax is above average. A thorough survey is recommended to check structural, wiring and insulation particulars before purchase.
Overall this is a substantial period terrace with strong upside for refurbishment and rental or owner-occupier use. Buyers seeking ready-to-move-in condition should expect a significant programme of works; those willing to modernise can create a bright, efficient home in a very central Cardiff neighbourhood.
