Summary - 8 AMESBURY ROAD CARDIFF CF23 5DW
5 bed 2 bath Terraced
Extended layout with modern kitchen and south-facing decked garden.
Five bedrooms and two bathrooms across three floors
A spacious five-bedroom mid-terrace in Penylan combining period charm with contemporary fittings. Tall corniced ceilings, bay windows and pine internal doors sit alongside an extended 23ft kitchen/family room with integrated appliances and bi-fold doors — useful for family living and entertaining. The south-facing walled garden with composite decking is sunny but compact, suited to low-maintenance outdoor time rather than large-scale gardening.
The layout works well for a larger family: reception hall, bay-fronted lounge with wood burner, open-plan kitchen/family space, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, and five bedrooms with two modern bathrooms above. The property has gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C, so energy performance is reasonable for its age.
Notable practical points: the house is a solid-brick build (1930s–1940s) with assumed lack of cavity insulation in the walls, which could mean higher heating bills and future retrofit costs. The immediate neighbourhood is classified as very deprived at area level despite being a favoured, tree-lined avenue close to local shops, Waterloo Gardens, and the Marlborough Primary/Cardiff High catchment. Plot size is small and there is no indication of off-street parking.
Overall this freehold mid-terrace suits a growing family seeking a period home with contemporary living spaces in a popular school catchment, while being realistic about modest outdoor space and potential insulation upgrades.
