5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Cathedral Road, Pontcanna CF11

No Chain. Set along one of Pontcanna’s most recognisable avenues, this handsome period house unfolds across three floors with a calm sense of proportion and light. Original features sit comfortably alongside later improvements, creating a home that feels both established and adaptable. The principal rooms are generous in scale, with high ceilings, large sash windows and a natural flow that lends itself to both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen and dining space forms a natural focal point, opening out to the garden and drawing in light throughout the day. Upstairs, the arrangement of bedrooms offers flexibility, whether for family life, guest accommodation or working from home. While the house has been thoughtfully maintained, there remains an opportunity for a new owner to refine and personalise over time.

Pontcanna continues to be one of Cardiff’s most sought after neighbourhoods, known for its tree lined streets, independent cafés and strong sense of community. Nearby Pontcanna Fields and Sophia Gardens provide extensive green space, while the city centre is within comfortable reach on foot. Well regarded local schools, excellent transport links and access to Cardiff Central station make the location as practical as it is appealing.
