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
Situated on the highly sought-after Romilly Crescent, this beautifully updated Victorian home offers stylish and well-planned accommodation across three floors.
Originally built around 1860 and fully refurbished by award-winning developer Portabella in 2015, the property retains its period character while providing modern, move-in-ready living.
The front door opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway, creating a strong first impression and separating the entrance from the main living spaces.
The principal rooms are positioned towards the rear of the house, giving them a quieter and more private feel away from the road.
The bright lounge features French doors opening directly onto the garden, while the contemporary kitchen-diner is fitted with integrated appliances and designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
Practical understairs storage includes a concealed shoe rack and a separate laundry cupboard. On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms alongside a recently refurbished modern bathroom.
The second floor hosts the main bedroom with a Velux window, an additional storage room, and a newly refurbished bathroom with a full overhead shower.
Externally, the property benefits from a spacious south-facing front patio area, screened by mature hedging and fencing to provide privacy and an ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxing.
To the rear is a private enclosed garden with a paved terrace, perfect for entertaining. The home retains traditional sash windows to the front, with all windows double glazed.
The location is one of Pontcanna's most desirable, just a short walk from Cathedral Road and Pontcanna High Street.
Popular spots including Coffi Lab and Ground Bakery are close by, along with a selection of highly regarded restaurants, cafés, and independent shops.
Romilly Crescent also offers excellent connectivity, with regular bus routes nearby and Cardiff Central Station approximately a 10-minute walk away, providing convenient links across Wales and beyond.
Major routes including the A4119, A4232 and M4 are easily accessible.
