5 bed terraced house for sale

Marlborough Road, Cardiff CF23

Set along one of Penylan’s most sought after tree lined avenues, this beautifully presented mid terrace home offers an exceptional balance of period character and carefully considered living space across three floors. Marlborough Road is known for its handsome Victorian and Edwardian homes, excellent schools and close proximity to Roath Park, Wellfield Road and the vibrant café culture of nearby Albany Road and City Road, making it one of Cardiff’s most desirable residential locations for families and professionals alike.

The house itself has been thoughtfully arranged to create versatile accommodation that feels both elegant and welcoming. Original tiled flooring, picture rails, coved ceilings and fireplaces sit comfortably alongside a superb open plan kitchen and dining space designed for modern living. The principal reception room to the front enjoys a striking bay window and feature fireplace, while to the rear the kitchen opens beautifully into the dining area with a large central island forming the heart of the home. Integrated appliances, generous preparation space and direct access to the garden create an ideal setting for everyday family life and entertaining alike.

A further reception room currently used as a study provides additional flexibility, while the ground floor extension incorporates a generous bedroom with en suite shower room, perfectly suited to guests, multigenerational living or independent working from home arrangements.

Across the upper floors are four further bedrooms and two bath or shower rooms, including an impressive top floor suite with skylights to both the front and rear. The rear garden has been landscaped for low maintenance enjoyment with paved seating areas, mature planting and rear lane access.

Penylan remains one of Cardiff’s most enduringly popular neighbourhoods thanks to its excellent local schools, nearby parks, independent shops and convenient transport connections into the city centre and Heath Hospital.
