Deri Road, Penylan, Cardiff, CF23 5AH

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a traditional period property in one of Cardiff’s most highly regarded and sought-after areas of Penylan, situated just moments from the beautiful Waterloo Gardens and the surrounding green open spaces. The property requires some updating, which is reflected in the very reasonable asking price, but offers generous proportions, excellent period character and huge potential for someone looking to create a home entirely to their own taste.

One of the first things to appreciate is the property's lovely original character, including the beautifully preserved period hallway tiles, which provide a wonderful introduction to what could become a very special home.

The ground floor offers an impressive amount of living space, with three generous reception rooms, providing plenty of flexibility for modern family life. Whether used as separate living, dining, family or working spaces, there is considerable scope to reconfigure and modernise the accommodation to suit individual requirements. To the rear is a useful lean-to, together with a smaller kitchen which could be transformed as part of a future refurbishment.

Outside, a lovely enclosed rear garden offering a good degree of privacy and a combination of lawn and paved areas. A particular advantage is the rear lane access, with the lane itself being gated, providing useful additional access to the garden.

Upstairs are three spacious double bedrooms, offering excellent proportions and plenty of potential for a growing family. There is also an additional smaller room, which could be used as a home office, dressing room, nursery or useful storage space depending on individual needs. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

The location is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attractions. Waterloo Gardens is just moments away, leading in turn towards the Recreation Ground and the beautiful network of parks and open spaces stretching towards Roath Park and the lake. Cardiff's popular local amenities are also within easy reach, whilst the area is well served by transport links and is particularly popular with families and those looking to enjoy access to some of Cardiff's finest green spaces. Cardiff Council recognises Waterloo Gardens, Roath Park and Roath Park Lake and Gardens among the city's designated historic parks and conservation areas.

Properties offering this combination of price, proportions, period character and location are increasingly difficult to find. While the house does require modernisation, this is a genuine opportunity to take a traditional Penylan property and put your own stamp on it, creating a bespoke family home in a truly enviable location.
