A sturdy Victorian semi in CF24 offered via modern auction, this freehold two-bedroom house has clear rental or renovation upside close to Cardiff city centre. The property benefits from a recently replaced roof and a new gas central heating system with warranty, reducing immediate major-cost risks. Three reception rooms and two double bedrooms give flexible layouts for a family conversion or multi-room student let.
Buyers should note the sale method: modern auction with an undisclosed reserve and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus buyer pack costs — read the Auction Pack and budget for fees before bidding. The property sits in a very deprived, high-crime, cosmopolitan student neighbourhood, which affects rental profiles and resale considerations.
Internally the house is habitable but dated. The kitchen is mid-century wood-panelled and requires modernisation; walls are original sandstone/limestone and assumed uninsulated, so further thermal upgrades may be needed. Overall size and a small garden limit outdoor space but keep maintenance low. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support tenant demand or home working.
This is a pragmatic purchase for investors seeking city-centre, student-rental potential or for an owner-occupier comfortable with renovation and the auction process. The combination of period features, transport links and the recent roof and heating work gives a base to add value, but allow for renovation costs and factor in the auction fees when assessing affordability.
