Summary - Top Floor Flat, 12 Marlborough Road, Cardiff CF23 5BX
4 bed 1 bath House
Chain-free four-bedroom mid-terrace with large attic and garden, strong redevelopment potential..
Chain-free freehold Victorian mid-terrace with period bay windows
A large mid-terrace period house with clear investment upside in Marlborough Road, Roath. Currently arranged informally as two self-contained units, the property offers immediate rental potential or scope to reconfigure back into a single family home. Chain-free freehold ownership and a generous overall footprint create flexibility for buyers and developers (subject to planning).
Key positives include a garden, large attic with conversion potential, original period features such as a fireplace and bay windows, and good digital connectivity with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The property sits close to local amenities, transport links and Roath Park, making it attractive to tenants, multi-generational households or conversion projects.
Buyers should note material constraints: the house sits on a small plot in a very deprived area and the walls are timber-frame with no assumed insulation. There is only one bathroom, an informal internal layout, and parts of the exterior show renovation work/scaffolding. Any extension, subdivision or attic conversion requires planning consent and building works to upgrade insulation, services and internal layouts.
Suitability: this house is best for investors, developers or ambitious owner-occupiers comfortable managing renovation. With planning and investment it can be turned into multiple lettable units, a larger family home, or a higher-value refurbished property in a busy city neighbourhood.
