We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Set within the highly regarded Colonies area of Heath, this handsome bay fronted period home offers a thoughtful balance of original character and well judged modernisation.
The house unfolds with a sense of warmth and proportion, beginning with an inviting tiled entrance and flowing through two generous reception rooms that retain their fireplaces, timber floors and decorative detailing.
The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and has been designed with everyday living in mind, opening naturally onto the rear garden through glazed doors and rooflight.
Upstairs, three well sized bedrooms are served by a smartly finished bathroom, with period features continuing throughout to create a cohesive and elegant feel.
Outside, the rear garden provides a private and established setting, complemented by the rare advantage of a detached garage with rear lane access.
This practical addition is a genuine asset in such a popular residential location.
The Colonies is widely recognised as one of Heath’s most sought after neighbourhoods, prized for its strong sense of community and distinctive architecture.
Nearby amenities include local independent shops, cafés and restaurants, while larger retail options can be found along Whitchurch Road and at nearby supermarkets.
Heath Park and Roath Park are both within easy reach, offering green open spaces ideal for walking and recreation.
The area is well served by a range of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, making it particularly appealing to families.
Excellent transport links are available via nearby road networks, Heath High Level and Low Level train stations, and regular bus services providing convenient access into Cardiff city centre, the University Hospital of Wales and beyond.
This is a home that offers both charm and practicality in equal measure, set within one of north Cardiff’s most established and desirable locations.
