Characterful period home with flexible layout and HMO potential near Roath Park.
Double‑storey Victorian bay with high ceilings and original tiled hallway
Currently operating as a five‑bed HMO; can be used as a four‑bed family home
Approximately 1,561 sq ft across multiple storeys, two bathrooms
Enclosed low‑maintenance rear garden with rear lane access
Front forecourt and three reception rooms offering flexible layout
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated — potential energy upgrade needed
Located near Roath Park, good transport links and local amenities
Local area classified as very deprived; strong student/professional rental demand
Set on a tree-lined street a short walk from Roath Park, this double‑storey bay Victorian terrace combines original period detail with flexible living space. The tiled entrance hall, high ceilings and bay windows give strong character throughout, while three reception rooms and a large kitchen support family life or multi‑let use. The property is offered as a four-bedroom house but currently operates as a five-bed HMO, giving scope for an investor or a buyer who wants extra rental income.
Outside there is a small front forecourt and an enclosed, low‑maintenance rear garden with lane access — practical for cycles or bins. The house totals about 1,561 sq ft over multiple storeys and includes two bathrooms. Mains gas heating with boiler and radiators provides reliable warmth, but the solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so energy performance and running costs could be improved with insulation works.
The location is convenient for local amenities, good transport links and the cosmopolitan mix of students and professionals in CF23. That mix underpins rental demand but also reflects a very deprived local area score; buyers should consider both the strong tenant market and local socioeconomic factors when assessing long‑term plans.
This property will suit buyers seeking a period family home with scope to reconfigure, or investors wanting an established HMO in a popular, well‑connected neighbourhood. The house is freehold and presents clear potential for modernisation and energy upgrades to enhance comfort and value.
