An imposing four-bedroom Victorian terrace on Marlborough Road offers generous proportions, tall ceilings and classic period detail across approximately 1,690 sq ft. The house is a blank canvas: its bay windows, moulded trims and large rooms provide a strong foundation for a sympathetic period restoration or a contemporary redesign. Off-street parking and a private rear garden are rare practical benefits in this central location.
The ground floor currently provides three reception rooms, a rear kitchen with garden access and a downstairs wet room; upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is freehold and sits in a lively, cosmopolitan inner-city neighbourhood with excellent public transport links, fast broadband and strong mobile signal — useful for commuters and home workers.
Buyers should note the house needs renovation throughout, which presents both opportunity and cost: expect refurbishment work rather than a move-in-ready home. The surrounding area scores as very deprived, and the immediate neighbourhood is a mixed, student-influenced community; this can be attractive for investors but may be less desirable for buyers seeking a quiet suburban street.
Overall, the house will suit buyers who want a project that leverages period character and a prime Cardiff location. Its size, layout and parking make it practical for families, multi-occupancy rentals or anyone planning a substantial refurbishment to add value.
