Description

This single-bay mid-terrace house presents a compelling renovation opportunity in the heart of Cathays, just off City Road. Its stone-fronted exterior hints at the character found within, making it an appealing prospect for those interested in investing in a project that combines historical charm with modern updates. Internally, the property retains several original features, such as period fireplaces, tiled flooring, and elegant ceiling roses. These elements could be integrated into a contemporary design to create a unique living space. The layout currently includes two well-sized bedrooms, a versatile dressing room or study area that can easily transform into a third bedroom, and spacious reception rooms that provide ample room for reconfiguration to suit various lifestyles. The location further enhances its potential value. Cathays is known for its vibrant community atmosphere and proximity to Cardiff city centre and university campuses. Residents will find themselves just a short walk from an array of independent shops, cafés, and eateries along City Road and Albany Road. Green spaces such as Roath Park and Bute Park are also nearby, offering recreational opportunities for families. Additionally, the excellent public transport links via Cathays and Cardiff Queen Street stations facilitate easy commuting for professionals. For buyers looking to make their mark, this house represents an exciting blank canvas with considerable investment potential. The existing layout allows for strategic enhancements—such as relocating the bathroom—to optimize functionality while maintaining the property's classic appeal. Outside, the rear garden is enclosed by brick and stone walls but requires landscaping; this offers an opportunity to design an outdoor space tailored to personal preferences. Overall, this property stands as an enticing prospect for first-time buyers ready to invest effort into renovation or investors seeking to capitalize on the ongoing growth of the area.
