Description
Offered at auction, this three-bedroom end-of-link house is on an estate in Caerau, around four miles from Cardiff city centre and approximately one mile from Culverhouse Cross. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, lounge and kitchen/diner on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Front and rear gardens are included, with outside storage to the front and side access to the rear.
The house dates from around the early 1980s and is described as requiring internal upgrading. It has uPVC double glazing and gas-fired central heating. The location provides access to the A4232 and M4. The seller's tenure information is stated as freehold but should be checked against the legal pack. Buyers should also review the auction terms, legal documents and applicable fees before bidding.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £118,000, this three-bedroom house is priced at about £140 per sq ft against a local average of £313, making the guide a strong opportunity to acquire well below the local £/sq ft benchmark. It is offered by auction, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
The appeal is the scope to reshape and renew a separate lounge and kitchen/diner, refresh the dated interior, and reclaim the overgrown rear garden. This is a heavy, multi-area project rather than a cosmetic update; the visible exterior shows no obvious major failure, though it is not a roof inspection.
Key opportunities
- Use the separate lounge and kitchen/diner as the basis for a refreshed, more cohesive living space.
- The three-bedroom layout offers scope to update the interior finishes and make the accommodation your own.
- Clear and improve the overgrown rear garden, including its untidy paving and steps.
Key risks
- Cluttered, worn interiors and several areas needing renewal make this a substantial multi-room programme; allow for a full interior overhaul rather than a cosmetic refresh.
