Description

A five-bedroom detached house in Lisvane, Cardiff, extending to approximately 2,055 sq ft and set on a plot of around 0.30 acres. The accommodation is arranged around an entrance hall and includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, downstairs cloakroom, three bathrooms and a double garage with power and lighting. A separate workshop is also described, with a gas combi-boiler and access to the garden. The property is described as having been gutted by the current owner, leaving the interior ready for a new layout and finish. The listing states that planning permission has been approved for a first-floor extension, with the potential to increase the accommodation to more than 3,500 sq ft. Buyers should verify the planning details and current status independently. The grounds include mature trees and shrubs, a block-paved patio, a small pond and raised flower beds. The house is offered as a substantial renovation and extension project, with local amenities, schools and transport links noted nearby. Freehold tenure is reported by the seller and remains subject to confirmation by a legal adviser.

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached five-bedroom house has a substantial project canvas: the listing describes it as gutted, and the photos show dated finishes and incomplete flooring across several rooms. The clean, relatively recent-looking kitchen, double garage, driveway and established 0.30-acre garden give the project useful starting points, while the approved first-floor extension could offer further scope if its status and conditions check out.

At £750,000, the asking price is about 6.3% above the local £/sqf average, so price is not a standout advantage. The fundamentals are strong, but the score is held back by limited price value and weak renovation economics: purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks. This is a substantial programme to weigh carefully rather than a cosmetic refresh.

Key opportunities

  • A largely stripped interior gives a buyer scope to rework finishes and make the generous reception spaces and five-bedroom layout their own.
  • Approved first-floor extension permission may create scope to expand the house further; verify the approval, conditions and current status before relying on it.
  • The double garage, driveway and established tree-lined garden provide useful existing assets to retain and improve.

Key risks

  • Gutted interiors, incomplete bedroom flooring and dated finishes across several rooms mean a substantial multi-room rebuild programme; allow for more time and coordination than a cosmetic refresh.
