This substantial seven-bedroom Victorian townhouse on Cathedral Road offers a rare, large-footprint opportunity in Cardiff CF11. With approximately 4,457 sqft across multiple storeys, high ceilings, bay windows and five reception rooms, the house presents strong rental or conversion potential for investors or multi-generational families seeking generous principal rooms and period character.
The property is freehold and includes a garage, driveway and an enclosed rear garden. Built-in storage, a basement with power and light, conservatory and sizeable kitchen-plus-dining spaces add practical flexibility. Its central position places boutiques, cafés and parks within easy reach while excellent transport links support strong tenant demand.
Buyers should factor in material drawbacks: the area records very high crime levels and significant deprivation, and the property is in a conservation-era style that may require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic refurbishment. Council Tax is Band H, indicating high running costs. EPC rating is not provided and any conversion to multiple lets would need planning and safety compliance checks.
For an investor, the large internal area, multiple reception rooms and seven bedrooms create clear scope for HMO conversion or high-yield student/tenant lets subject to consents. For purchasers seeking a grand family home, the scale and character are compelling, but expect renovation works and higher-than-average occupancy costs.
