Set on sought-after Cathedral Road in Pontcanna, this substantial Victorian semi-detached building offers clear development potential for an investor or developer. The property retains strong period character — high ceilings, ornate cornicing, deep timber skirting and large bay windows — that would appeal to buyers seeking attractive residential units with historic detail.
The building spans four storeys including a basement and currently has commercial fit-out elements (salon layout, male/female WCs, kitchen, shower). There is a large rear car park and a double garage with scope for conversion to residential space, subject to planning. Access to Cardiff city centre, local amenities and good road links adds to rental or resale appeal.
Practical positives include gas central heating, a security alarm and off-street parking. However, conversion to traditional homes or multiple dwellings requires planning consent and likely refurbishment to modern residential standards. The property previously had a lease to a salon operator who has recently ceased trading; buyers should verify lease status and occupation before purchase.
Notable drawbacks: the area records higher crime levels and significant deprivation, which can affect rental demand and resale values in parts of the market. Interested buyers should factor in refurbishment costs, planning timeframes and potential compliance upgrades (fire, accessibility, services) when assessing total project viability.
