Heol-Yr-Efail, Rhiwbina, Cardiff, CF14

Situated on one of Rhiwbina’s most desirable residential streets, this much-loved family home has been cherished for many years and now awaits its next chapter. An attractive bay-fronted semi-detached property, 35 Heol yr Efail offers a wonderful opportunity for a family to make their mark in one of Cardiff’s most sought-after suburbs. With no onward chain, generous room proportions, and excellent potential to extend and modernise, this is a home brimming with promise.

Approached via a neat brick-paved driveway that leads to a detached garage, the property immediately presents an inviting first impression. The classic 1960s bay façade gives the home a sense of warmth and character, while the leafy, tree-lined street adds to its quiet village charm. Just a short five-minute stroll takes you to the heart of Rhiwbina Village, where independent cafés, family-run shops, and friendly pubs create a strong sense of community that residents are proud to call home. Excellent public transport links including Rhiwbina or Birchgrove train station and regular bus services, make commuting to the city centre or further afield wonderfully convenient.

Stepping inside, the sense of space and potential becomes clear. The ground floor was originally designed with two reception rooms but has been opened up to create one large, bright, and versatile living area. A wide bay window floods the front of the room with light, framing pleasant views across the front garden and the attractive streetscape beyond. To the rear, sliding glass doors open directly onto a sunny patio and the private back garden — the perfect spot for summer entertaining or a morning coffee in the sunshine.

The kitchen, located to the rear of the home, is ready for updating but offers excellent scope to reconfigure into a modern open-plan kitchen-diner or family hub. There is also a useful door to the garden and a connecting door to a downstairs W.C., adding practicality to the layout. For buyers with a vision, the generous plot size allows for potential rear and side extensions (subject to the necessary permissions), as well as the possibility of converting the loft - a popular choice in the area for those seeking additional bedrooms.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with its balanced and family friendly proportions. There are three bedrooms in total: two spacious doubles and a comfortable single room that could easily serve as a nursery, child’s bedroom, or study. The larger bedrooms enjoy lovely natural light, with the front bay once again providing that characteristic sense of charm and space. The family bathroom completes the first floor, offering an opportunity for full modernisation to create a stylish and contemporary suite tailored to your taste.

While the property would now benefit from refurbishment throughout, it has been carefully maintained and clearly treasured over the years,  a true blank canvas for a family to bring their ideas to life. The potential here is undeniable: modernise and extend to create a stunning forever home in a location where demand always remains high.

Rhiwbina itself continues to be one of Cardiff’s most desirable suburbs, prized for its blend of village atmosphere and excellent amenities. Families are particularly drawn to the area for its well-regarded schools, safe and leafy streets, and abundance of green spaces. Nearby, you’ll find Caedelyn Park and Parc y Pentre, both perfect for weekend walks or picnics, while Rhiwbina’s thriving community hub offers everything from yoga studios and delis to local festivals and markets. Despite its peaceful setting, the area is remarkably well connected - Cardiff city centre is just a short train via Birchgrove Station or bus ride away, and major routes north and west are easily accessible.

Outside, the rear garden provides a private and sunny retreat, with plenty of room for children to play and for keen gardeners to enjoy transforming the space. The detached garage offers excellent storage or the potential to adapt into a workshop or studio if desired.

35 Heol yr Efail represents a rare opportunity to purchase a home with character, space, and enormous potential in a location that continues to grow in popularity year after year. For those seeking a family home to modernise and make their own, in a peaceful yet well-connected setting, this property is not to be missed.

Offered for sale with no onward chain.
