3 bed terraced house for sale

University Place, Splott, Cardiff CF24

In this pleasant cul-de-sac in the heart of Splott is this deceptively spacious bay-fronted terrace house that offers excellent family-size accommodation or potential for investment, but it requires some updating. The features include a large open-plan living room (originally two separate rooms), a separate dining room, kitchen with fitted units, 3 double bedrooms, and an enlarged bathroom. The property has gas central heating from a wall-mounted Baxi combi boiler situated in the kitchen and there are radiators virtually throughout. It is also double-glazed. The property is of the double bay-fronted style of mid-terrace house with stone-faced front elevations beneath a slate roof with a tile-hung gable. At the front is a walled forecourt and an arched, recessed entrance porch providing access to the ground floor accommodation. At the rear is a patio garden with pedestrian access to a rear lane. We understand that there is unrestricted on-street parking in University Place. We understand that the property is Freehold. Natural Resources Wales consider the flood risk in the area is 'very low.' The Council Tax Band is E. The EPC rating is C.

Located just east of the city centre, Splott features rows of tightly knit Victorian terraced houses and a strong community feel. Derived from an old English word meaning a plot or parcel of land, originating from Upper and Lower Splott Farms, it developed rapidly in the late 19th century during Cardiff's industrial boom, driven by nearby steelworks and rail infrastructure.. The property is situated in a walkable urban neighbourhood with a range of local shops along Splott Road, and it's only a short drive to major stores, supermarkets, and entertainment facilities on Newport Road. Residents praise its affordability, close proximity to the city centre, and neighbourly atmosphere.
