Mansion House, Richmond Road, Cardiff

Mansion House is Grade II Listed Victorian property designed in a free classical style, set in grounds of approximately 0.83 acres. It is arranged over three storeys and basement. The house is constructed from rock-faced Pennant sandstone, with lighter Bath stone dressings under a slate roof with three dormers.

In total, the house comprises c. 16,445 sq ft (1,528 sq m).

Mansion House is accessed by two electric gates to the front, with a spacious driveway which circumvents the house.

The rear of the house has experienced various additions, including a ramp to the rear door and metal escape, and is partially fenced off. Improving the rear of the house may include the potential to extend, subject to securing the necessary planning consents.

The trees and foliage to the rear and side of the house has become overgrown, and clearance may provide more space for landscaping and parking.

To the rear is a detached single storey garage with separate access onto Gordon Road. This offers future development potential, subject to planning.

Cardiff Central train station is a c.1 mile walk with services to London Paddington, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and West Wales.
