Description

This three-bedroom terraced house in Grangetown is offered as a renovation project. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and separate WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a closet-style room that could provide additional storage or be used in another way, subject to suitability. A private rear garden completes the accommodation. The property requires renovation throughout. The listing identifies potential work to the kitchen and bathroom, flooring, plastering and decoration, with the electrical installation, heating system, windows and other services also requiring investigation and possible upgrading. Buyers should establish the scope and cost of works through their own inspections and surveys. Grangetown railway station is stated to be approximately 0.4 miles away, with Ninian Park station around 0.5 miles away and Cardiff Central around 0.6 miles away. Local shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and leisure facilities are nearby, and the area has bus connections to the city centre and other parts of Cardiff.

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom terrace has a clear full-project canvas: two ground-floor reception spaces, a private rear garden and a flexible layout to reshape around your plans. The photos show peeling or missing wall finishes in several rooms, dated floors and fittings, and an overgrown garden; the visible front elevation appears generally intact. A £45,000–£85,000 renovation range gives a sense of the scale, with the listing also flagging services and other elements for investigation.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the lounge, dining room and kitchen arrangement to create a more cohesive ground-floor layout.
  • Use the three-bedroom layout, including the closet-style room off one bedroom, as a flexible starting point for a tailored home.
  • Clear and improve the private rear garden, making better use of the outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Peeling or missing wall finishes in several rooms, dated fittings and floors, and an overgrown garden point to a substantial programme; the £45,000–£85,000 works range makes this a budget-and-programme commitment rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • The listing flags electrical, heating and other services, windows and further elements for investigation; the dark staining near the base of the rear-side wall also has an unknown cause and significance.
