About
Positioned on one of Cardiff’s most recognised and sought after roads, this spacious ground floor flat offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to create a home of character and substance in the heart of Pontcanna.
Occupying a fine period building, the property retains a number of original features including coved ceilings, sash bay window, cornicing and picture rails, all of which contribute to the sense of space and period charm throughout.
The accommodation is generous and well proportioned, with the added advantage of a basement level that provides valuable additional space suitable for a home office, studio or storage.
The property presents a rare opportunity for a buyer to personalise the space to their own taste and requirements.
The inclusion of a garden further enhances the appeal, particularly in this central location where outdoor space is highly prized.
