Description
A Versatile Semi-Detached Home In Cathays - Positioned in the heart of Cardiff’s ever-popular Golden Triangle, Gwennyth Street presents an excellent opportunity for a wide range of buyers — from first-time homeowners and families to investors looking to take advantage of the high rental demand in this vibrant and highly connected area.
This traditional red-brick, semi-detached property offers a rare combination of charm with practical living spaces, ideal for today’s lifestyle. With three reception rooms, three bedrooms, a utility room, modern kitchen, southwest-facing garden, lane access, and a recently maintained roof, this home is both move-in ready and bursting with potential for further enhancement.
Timeless Kerb Appeal With Essential Upgrades - The property presents a smart frontage to Gwennyth Street, with its traditional red brick construction, contrasting dark brick detailing, and a welcoming front forecourt enclosed by an attractive low brick wall and decorative ironwork.
Buyers can have peace of mind that key structural maintenance has already been attended to: the current owners have completed significant roofing works, including lead flashing replacement, resealing, chimney repairs and new guttering — all helping to futureproof this solid home.
A Flexible Ground Floor Perfect For Modern Living - Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the flexibility and flow of this home’s layout:
- Lounge (12'10" x 10'4")
A bright and well-proportioned living room at the front of the house, ideal as a primary family lounge or a peaceful retreat.
- Sitting Room (11'3" x 11'5")
Located centrally within the house, this room connects naturally with the rest of the ground floor. With versatile potential, it can serve as a second sitting room, home office, or hobby space.
- Dining Room (11'11" x 9')
A generous and welcoming dining space, perfect for family meals or dinner with friends. A built-in under-stairs storage cupboard is a useful feature for keeping household essentials out of sight.
This blend of reception spaces is particularly appealing to families or house sharers, offering the flexibility to tailor the rooms to suit personal preferences and changing needs.
A Bright & Practical Kitchen - The kitchen at the rear of the property is finished in a contemporary style, with white shaker-style cabinets, light wood-effect worktops, and white metro-tiled splashbacks. A gas hob and integrated oven are fitted, with additional space for appliances.
A large window above the sink brings in natural light and offers a pleasant view over the rear garden. The layout is designed for efficiency and easy cooking, with good storage and preparation space.
Essential Utility Space - Beyond the kitchen is the utility room, which runs the length of the side return (13’7" long). This room is incredibly practical for laundry, storage, and keeping everyday life organised. With plumbing already in place, there is also scope to consider converting part of this space into a second bathroom or shower room, subject to necessary permissions — a valuable addition for those considering HMO use or simply wanting future-proofed family accommodation.
Three Well-Proportioned Bedrooms - Upstairs, three bedrooms are accessed from a central landing:
- Bedroom 1 (12'1" x 13'7")
A spacious and bright double bedroom, easily accommodating a full suite of bedroom furniture.
- Bedroom 2 (11'2" x 8'6")
Another generously sized double room, ideal for guests, older children, or as a second main bedroom.
- Bedroom 3 (8'9" x 9')
Currently used as a creative space/music room, this versatile third bedroom would also suit a home office, nursery, or study.
Family Bathroom - The first-floor bathroom is fitted with a white suite, including a full-size bath with a shower attachment, wash basin, and WC. There is a window for natural ventilation and daylight.
South-West Facing Garden With Lane Access - At the rear, the property enjoys an enclosed south-west facing garden — a key selling point.
This garden space benefits from sunlight for much of the day and into the evening, making it ideal for outdoor dining, relaxation, or simply enjoying some fresh air. Traditional dry-stone walls add character and privacy to the space.
The garden currently features a paved area and raised planting beds, and there is excellent potential for further landscaping if desired. Crucially, lane access at the side offers flexibility for bike storage, garden maintenance.
Location, Lifestyle & Connectivity - Cathays is one of Cardiff’s most popular residential areas, prized for its proximity to the city centre, Cardiff University, and a wide array of local amenities.
Gwennyth Street sits comfortably within the highly sought-after Cathays Triangle, an area renowned for its rental appeal and long-term capital growth potential.
On your doorstep, you'll find:
- Cardiff University main campus & buildings
- Roath Park & Roath Recreation Ground — ideal for green space and leisure
- Crwys Road with its array of independent cafes, restaurants, and shops
- Frequent buses into Cardiff city centre
- Crwys Road railway station for easy rail connections
Schools in the catchment include Roath Park Primary and Cathays High School — further adding to the appeal for families.
Whether you’re seeking city life with outdoor green space, strong transport links, or walkable access to Cardiff’s educational institutions, this location ticks every box.
An Outstanding Investment Opportunity - For property investors, Gwennyth Street represents a highly attractive prospect. The Golden Triangle is one of Cardiff’s most in-demand student rental areas, generating consistently strong yields and low void periods.
This property, with its three reception rooms and three bedrooms, offers flexible configurations that could easily suit student sharers, professional tenants, or a growing family. The presence of a utility room and lane access further strengthens its rental appeal.
With recent roof repairs already completed, buyers can feel reassured about the building’s condition — an important consideration for investors seeking to reduce future capital expenditure.
The Perfect First Or Forever Home - For first-time buyers, this property offers excellent space and scope in an unbeatable Cardiff location. There is already a great layout in place, but also potential to personalise or extend the home in future, making it a smart long-term purchase.
For families, the combination of three bedrooms, a spacious garden, and excellent nearby schooling is hard to match at this price point in Cathays.
For those seeking city living with outdoor space, the southwest-facing garden provides exactly that — a private and sunny spot just a short stroll from Cardiff city centre.
