Description

This three-bedroom terraced house is located in the desirable Lakeside area of Cardiff, making it an excellent choice for families due to its proximity to Lakeside Primary School and Cardiff High School. While the property is in good condition, it presents a unique opportunity for modernization, allowing new owners to tailor the space to their personal taste. The ground floor features two spacious reception rooms, one of which has been converted from a garage, providing additional flexible living space. This area offers potential for further opening up or reconfiguration, subject to necessary permissions. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, all equipped with built-in storage and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light, alongside a family bathroom. The rear garden is well-maintained and includes a shed that could serve as a workshop or potentially be converted into a home office, pending relevant regulations. Situated close to Roath Park Lake and various local amenities in Cyncoed and Penylan, this property benefits from easy access to Cardiff city centre via regular bus routes. Commuters will appreciate the convenient road connections to the M4 corridor, facilitating travel across South Wales and beyond.

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom terraced house in the desirable Lakeside area of Cardiff presents a solid opportunity for buyers looking to modernize a well-maintained property. The spacious living areas benefit from good natural light, and the flexible layout offers potential for reconfiguration to suit individual tastes. The garden is well-kept and could serve as a lovely outdoor space or even a workshop, adding to the property’s appeal.

While the asking price of £425,000 is slightly above the local average at £338/sqf compared to £324/sqf, it remains a competitive option given the spaciousness and potential for improvement. However, the limited opportunity for value addition and the economics component indicate that buyers should approach with an awareness of market volatility and the need for modernization. This project is light in scale, allowing buyers to gradually enhance the property while enjoying its current benefits.
