3 bed terraced house for sale

Arabella Street, Roath, Cardiff CF24

Set along one of Roath’s well-regarded residential streets, this refined period home offers balanced proportions, retained architectural detail and a calm, understated interior that rewards closer inspection. From the moment you step inside, the sense of space and natural light is evident, with a thoughtful layout that lends itself equally to everyday living and entertaining.

The principal reception rooms unfold gracefully from front to back, united by original floorboards, decorative ceilings and a wide arched opening that creates a natural flow. Fireplaces, built-in cabinetry and generous windows bring texture and character, while the kitchen sits comfortably to the rear, connecting directly to the garden and forming a practical heart to the home. Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, complemented by a neatly finished shower room.

Outside, the rear garden offers a private and well enclosed setting, with a mix of paved and gravelled areas softened by mature planting, providing a peaceful retreat from the city beyond.

Arabella Street lies at the centre of Roath, one of Cardiff’s most popular and architecturally rich neighbourhoods.
