No Onward Chain! Set within one of Cyncoed’s most established residential avenues with Cardiff High School Catchment; this semi detached family house presents a rare opportunity to acquire a period home of real character and substantial scope for renovation and reimagining.
Behind its traditional façade, the house retains a wealth of original features including timber sash windows, decorative fireplaces, picture rails, parquet and wood block flooring and stained glass detailing. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers flexible living space with three reception rooms, a kitchen with original fittings, four bedrooms and both a bathroom and separate WC, allowing a purchaser to restore and adapt the layout to suit modern family life while preserving the home’s inherent charm.
Cyncoed remains one of Cardiff’s most sought after suburbs, prized for its leafy streets, strong sense of community and excellent amenities. Local shops, cafés and everyday services are close at hand, while Roath Park, Heath Park and the surrounding green spaces provide welcome outdoor escapes. The area is particularly well regarded for its schooling, with a range of respected primary and secondary options nearby. Transport links are equally convenient, with regular bus services, nearby rail connections and easy access to the A48 and M4, making the city centre and wider region readily accessible.
This is a home with history, presence and exceptional potential, offering the chance to create a long term family residence in one of Cardiff’s most enduringly popular neighbourhoods.
