Period three-bed terrace in Cathays — strong rental potential, needs refurbishment and HMO licensing for multi-let.
Victorian mid-terrace with high ceilings and bay window
Two reception rooms plus ground-floor kitchen, flexible layout
Three spacious bedrooms; single first-floor bathroom
Newly fitted windows and a new fire door installed
Unmodernised fixer-upper; requires repair and updating
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; insulation work needed
Not HMO licensed; conversion needs permissions and licensing
Council tax banding very expensive for the property
Set on Tewkesbury Street in Cathays’ Golden Triangle, this Victorian mid-terrace offers clear rental and refurbishment potential close to Cardiff city centre. High ceilings, a bay front and two reception rooms give the property strong period character and flexible living space. Newly fitted windows and a fire door reduce immediate compliance costs.
Currently configured as a three-bedroom home with a ground-floor kitchen and first-floor bathroom, the house could suit investors targeting student lets or purchasers seeking a centrally located family home. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for lettings. The property is freehold, heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, and shows as EPC C.
Notable negatives are practical and should be budgeted: the house is described as unmodernised and in need of repair, walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, and there is only one bathroom for three bedrooms. It is not HMO licensed; conversion to multi-occupancy would require the correct permissions and licences. Council tax is very expensive for the banding here, and the plot is small.
Overall this is a straightforward, city-centre investment or refurbishment project for buyers comfortable with period renovation and lettings compliance. Flood risk is recorded as none, and the location’s amenities and transport links make tenant demand likely once updated.
