A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace in Grangetown offering practical city living with clear scope to improve. The house totals about 703 sq ft across traditional Victorian layout: separate fitted kitchen, lounge/dining room, large family bathroom and attic room reached by a loft ladder. A paved rear courtyard provides low-maintenance outdoor space.
Key strengths include double glazing, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and an affordable council tax band. The location is convenient — a short walk to Cardiff city centre and Cardiff Central station — which suits commuters, first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors.
Buyers should note this is an older solid-brick property (c.1900–1929) likely without wall insulation and with some decorative and damp-repair needs visible in reception rooms. The attic is accessed by a ladder, limiting immediate use as a full bedroom without conversion work. The surrounding area scores high on accessibility but has above-average crime and high deprivation indices, which may affect resale timing and tenant demand.
Overall this freehold mid-terrace represents an affordable entry into central Cardiff with scope for targeted updating and loft conversion to add value. It will particularly suit buyers looking for a reasonably priced city home or an investor prepared to carry out light-to-medium refurbishment.
