Five bedrooms across three floors, approx. 1,497 sq ft
A substantial Victorian mid-terrace on Alfred Street, offered chain free and ready for refurbishment. The property retains period character — bay window, high ceilings and an original fireplace — and sits in a convenient Roath location close to shops, cafés and public transport.
Arranged over three floors, the house provides five bedrooms and one bathroom across approximately 1,497 sq ft. Historically it held an HMO licence for four bedrooms, so there is clear scope to reconfigure for rental use or to create a larger family layout. The small rear garden is low maintenance and the building is freehold, which simplifies long-term ownership plans.
Buyers should note the home will need updating: décor and some fittings are dated, the stone walls likely lack insulation, and only one bathroom serves five bedrooms. The area is classed as very deprived with above-average local crime — important considerations for owner-occupiers and investors when assessing rental demand and pricing.
This house will suit an investor seeking value-add rental potential or a family willing to carry out works to create a spacious, characterful home in a central Cardiff neighbourhood. Practical next steps are a full survey and checks on reapplying for any HMO licence if intended for HM use.
