A rare freehold block of substantial Victorian buildings arranged over three storeys, offered with vacant possession and clear scope for a new use. At 5,477 sq ft the property sits on North Road, about half a mile from Cardiff city centre and in close proximity to Cardiff University and mainline stations — a location that draws steady student and commuter footfall.
The buildings retain original period character such as bay windows, high ceilings and ornate features, while the current fit-out is predominately cellular office accommodation with carpeted floors, gas central heating and mixed modern lighting. Practical benefits include off-street parking, covered bike storage and rear lane vehicle access; broadband is reported as fast.
This is a development-led opportunity: the freehold has potential for conversion or redevelopment subject to planning. The property will suit an investor, developer or operator targeting student accommodation, mixed-use schemes or refurbished office space close to the university and city centre transport links.
Buyers should weigh location-specific risks: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with a high local crime rate, and any change of use requires planning approval. The buildings’ cellular layout and period fabric will need refurbishment and modernisation to meet contemporary residential or high-spec commercial standards.
