Description
Offered at auction, this three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Roath is around a mile east of Cardiff city centre, with shops and amenities on Broadway and Newport Road nearby. The ground floor has an entrance hall, two reception rooms, a spacious kitchen, rear lobby and bathroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a second bathroom. Outside, an enclosed paved garden provides rear outdoor space.
The property is described as generally in good order but needing decorative finishing. It has uPVC windows and central heating from a modern combi boiler, which has not been tested. The sale is subject to a reserve price and a buyer’s premium; buyers should review the legal pack, including tenure and any further fees, before bidding.

Confidence: LOW
At £165,000, this three-bedroom terrace in Roath has a light, practical improvement brief: prepare and redecorate the marked reception-room and hall walls, freshen the dated finishes, and reclaim the paved garden from weeds and overgrowth. Two reception rooms, two bathrooms, uPVC windows and a modern combi boiler described by the seller give the project useful starting points, though the boiler is untested.
The score is held back by limited condition and value evidence rather than a clear price warning: floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. This is an online auction guide price, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Prepare and redecorate the visibly marked lower wall surfaces in the reception room and hall.
- Refresh the dated finishes, including the timber-effect kitchen cabinetry and older bathroom finishes.
- Clear weeds and moss, trim dense growth and tidy the enclosed paved garden.
