Set along one of Roath s well-regarded residential streets, this refined period home offers balanced proportions, retained architectural detail and a calm, understated interior that rewards closer inspection. From the moment you step inside, the sense of space and natural light is evident, with a thoughtful layout that lends itself equally to everyday living and entertaining.
The principal reception rooms unfold gracefully from front to back, united by original floorboards, decorative ceilings and a wide arched opening that creates a natural flow. Fireplaces, built-in cabinetry and generous windows bring texture and character, while the kitchen sits comfortably to the rear, connecting directly to the garden and forming a practical heart to the home. Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, complemented by a neatly finished shower room.
Outside, the rear garden offers a private and well enclosed setting, with a mix of paved and gravelled areas softened by mature planting, providing a peaceful retreat from the city beyond.
Arabella Street lies at the centre of Roath, one of Cardiff s most popular and architecturally rich neighbourhoods. The area is known for its tree-lined streets, independent shops, cafés and restaurants along Wellfield Road and Albany Road, all within walking distance. Roath Park is nearby, offering green open space, a boating lake and recreational facilities. The property is well placed for access to the city centre, Cardiff University and the Heath Hospital, with regular bus services and convenient road links. A range of well regarded schools, both English and Welsh medium, are also close at hand, making this an enduringly desirable location for a wide range of buyers.
