Summary - Top Floor Flat, 12 Marlborough Road, Cardiff CF23 5BX
4 bed 1 bath House
Large period property with strong redevelopment potential near local amenities.
Chain-free freehold four-bedroom mid-terrace
A spacious four-bedroom mid-terrace in Marlborough Road, Roath, offered chain-free on a freehold title. The property currently functions informally as two self-contained units with two kitchens and reception rooms, giving immediate rental flexibility or multi-generational use while long-term redevelopment or extension is possible subject to planning permission. There is a large attic with conversion potential and a small rear garden.
The house dates from the 1930–1949 period and has original period features such as a bay window and fireplace; it also has double glazing and mains gas central heating. Practical drawbacks include only one bathroom for four bedrooms, assumed timber-frame walls with no insulation, and a small plot footprint. The area is classed as very deprived, which affects long-term demand and funding considerations, though the neighbourhood is busy and well served by shops, transport and local amenities.
For investors or developers this is a clear refurbishment opportunity: scope to reconfigure into additional bedrooms, convert the attic, or redevelop (all subject to consents). For an owner-occupier willing to renovate, the property offers character, generous internal space (about 1,689 sq ft) and proximity to Roath facilities and transport links. Buyers should budget for insulation, likely internal upgrades and formalising any subdivision if rental units are intended.
