Description

This detached bungalow, originally designed with three bedrooms, has been significantly modified through the years to include a self-contained annex. This extra living space boasts an additional bedroom, reception room, kitchen, and shower room. Such versatility opens up numerous possibilities, whether for accommodating extended family, renting out as a guest suite, or establishing a productive home office area. With complete modernisation needed throughout, this property presents an exciting canvas for those looking to undertake a substantial refurbishment project. The accommodation spans over 130 square metres and offers generous dimensions that could be reconfigured to match diverse lifestyle needs. For investors or buyers with ambitious plans in mind, the sizeable plot offers significant potential for redevelopment (subject to local planning permissions), making it ideal for creating a grand family home in this sought-after neighbourhood. The expansive garden is another highlight of this property. With grounds of considerable size rarely available in such a prime area, the rear garden extends through lush terrain towards a tranquil brook at its boundary. This idyllic natural setting invites ideas for landscaped gardens, entertaining zones, or even recreational spaces for children—an opportunity to design something truly personal and unique. Located on Rhiwbina Hill—one of North Cardiff’s most esteemed residential areas—the property benefits from mature surroundings and easy access to local amenities. Nearby attractions include the picturesque Whitchurch Golf Club and dining options at The Deri Inn and Deri Stores. A short walk will bring you into Rhiwbina Village with its charming boutiques and eateries. Excellent public transport links ensure quick travels into Cardiff city centre while highly-rated schools and parks enhance the community's appeal. Properties like this one are rare finds in such desirable locations. Whether your aim is to sympathetically restore the existing structure or explore redevelopment options to build your dream home, this plot on Rhiwbina Hill provides a unique opportunity to craft an extraordinary living space.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached bungalow has a substantial project ahead: several visible areas have worn finishes, wall deterioration and significant ceiling damage, while the exterior and immediate garden also need attention. The reward is a generous 130+ sq. metres, an annex that offers flexible living or redesign potential, and an unusually large garden extending through wooded grounds to a brook. The location opposite Whitchurch Golf Club, close to Rhiwbina Village, adds to the appeal. At £625,000, the asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sq. ft. because the floor area used for that comparison is missing.

The 50/100 D grade reflects a weak overall opportunity, not a confirmed poor-value price: value versus local £/sq. ft. and residual economics cannot be assessed with the available area data. The visible ceiling damage, wall deterioration and weathered roof coverings warrant close inspection, but no definite major roof failure is apparent in the photos.

Key opportunities

  • The annex and multiple living areas create scope to retain flexible multi-generational or guest accommodation, or redesign the layout to suit a larger household.
  • The extensive rear garden, wooded area and brook-side boundary offer room to shape a distinctive outdoor setting, from landscaped and entertaining areas to a more natural garden.
  • The detached bungalow’s generous accommodation and separate outbuilding provide a broad canvas for a substantial whole-house transformation.

Key risks

  • Stripped-back condition in several areas, with ceiling damage and wall deterioration alongside worn finishes, means planning for a heavy interior rebuild and a longer programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Visible ceiling damage and wall deterioration need investigation, and the roof coverings look weathered in places; the condition of the roof and services cannot be confirmed from the available notes.
