Summary - 83 Blackoak Road CF23 6QW
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious 1950s family home with west garden and extension potential in Cyncoed.
Five bedrooms in a traditional 1950s detached layout
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Cyncoed, this traditional 1950s detached house offers a rare five-bedroom layout close to Llanishen Reservoir and local shops. The property has retained period proportions and practical features — generous reception rooms, built-in wardrobes and a west-facing rear garden — making it suitable for growing families who want space and proximity to Rhydypenau Primary and Cardiff High School catchments.
The house requires basic modernisation throughout and is sold with scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning consent). Recent UPVC double glazing and gas central heating are in place, but the EPC rating of D, cavity walls likely lacking insulation and overall renovation requirements should be factored into budgets.
Outside, an enclosed front garden and driveway lead to a garage, while the decent-sized west-facing rear plot offers room for entertaining, garden projects or a ground-floor extension. The 1,371 sq ft floor area is practical rather than expansive, so layout changes could significantly improve flow and value.
This property suits buyers seeking a family home with renovation potential in a well-connected Cardiff neighbourhood. Important notes: tenure is unspecified, and local statistics flag wider area deprivation despite the nearby affluent communities, so buyers should review local information and costs before proceeding.
