This red-brick mid-terrace sits in a well-connected Cardiff neighbourhood close to the University Hospital of Wales and several universities. The layout suits rental tenants or sharers: two reception rooms, an open-plan fitted kitchen flowing to a handy utility, and three good-sized bedrooms upstairs. Modern comforts include gas combi boiler, thermostat radiators and double glazing.
The property offers clear rental and refurbishment potential thanks to its location in a student-and-professional area and an average internal size of about 948 sq ft. A small paved patio with lane access and a garden store provides low-maintenance outdoor space. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong, supporting students and remote workers.
Buyers should note material downsides: the surrounding area records high crime and very high deprivation levels, and the house is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation. Council Tax band E and an EPC rating of D reflect running costs and energy efficiency that could be improved. The workshop/store has a corrugated metal roof and the rear garden is small—suitable for low-maintenance use rather than large family outdoor living.
Overall this freehold terrace is a straightforward buy for investors seeking steady rental demand near major employers and universities, or for buyers prepared to invest in targeted energy and security upgrades to boost comfort and value.
