North Road, Cardiff CF14

A Fully Renovated Three-Bedroom Family Home Offering Contemporary Living, Generous Accommodation and a Superb Rear Garden

Harry Harper Sales & Lettings are delighted to present this extensively renovated three-bedroom semi-detached property situated on North Road, Cardiff.

Offering approximately 1,259 sq. Ft. (117 sq. Metres) of accommodation across two floors, this impressive home has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, creating a fresh, contemporary living environment with an emphasis on quality finishes, practical design and versatile family accommodation.

From the brand new kitchen and four-piece family bathroom to the replacement roof, new heating system, updated electrics and double-glazed windows, considerable attention has been given to both the appearance and functionality of the property.

The accommodation includes three generously sized double bedrooms, a separate lounge, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a dedicated utility room, a home office or study, a downstairs cloakroom and a contemporary family bathroom.

Outside, the property benefits from a generous rear garden, newly laid patio, new fencing, gated side access and a double driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles.

With views across Cardiff from the rear, this property offers a combination of indoor comfort, outdoor space and flexible accommodation that will appeal to buyers seeking a home with the major refurbishment work already completed.

A Comprehensive Renovation Throughout

One of the most significant advantages of 181 North Road is the extent of the renovation work undertaken.

The property has been rewired, including the installation of a new consumer unit, and benefits from a new heating system, new double-glazed windows and external doors, and new roofing to both the main house and extension.

Internally, the property has been replastered, redecorated and finished in a coordinated contemporary style. New internal doors, luxury vinyl tile flooring and plush cream carpets contribute to a consistent and welcoming appearance throughout.

Internal wall insulation has also been installed as part of the refurbishment programme.

The external areas have received attention too, with rendered sections, external painting, new fencing and a newly laid rear patio.

Rather than concentrating solely on decorative improvements, the renovation has addressed important structural and practical elements alongside the internal finishes.

This gives prospective purchasers the opportunity to enjoy a comprehensively updated property without immediately undertaking the extensive work often associated with older homes.

Entrance Hall – A Welcoming Introduction

Entering the property, you are greeted by an entrance hallway providing access to the principal ground-floor accommodation and staircase leading to the first floor.

The neutral decorative scheme and updated internal finishes create a welcoming first impression, establishing the contemporary style carried throughout the home.

The hallway provides access to the separate lounge, open-plan kitchen area and ground-floor cloakroom.

The arrangement allows the living accommodation to flow naturally while retaining the practicality of clearly defined spaces.

Ground-Floor Cloakroom – Everyday Convenience

Positioned off the entrance hallway is a newly fitted downstairs cloakroom.

This useful addition features contemporary green wall tiling, a modern WC, wash hand basin with dark tapware and a heated towel rail.

The cloakroom is finished in a distinctive style, combining practical facilities with carefully selected decorative details.

Having a separate ground-floor WC is particularly beneficial when entertaining guests or accommodating a busy household, reducing the need to use the main family bathroom upstairs.

Separate Lounge – Comfortable and Versatile

The separate lounge provides a comfortable space for relaxing, watching television or spending time together.

Positioned towards the front of the property, the room benefits from a window allowing natural light into the accommodation.

Freshly decorated walls, new flooring finishes and contemporary internal doors contribute to the room's modern presentation.

The proportions allow for a variety of furniture arrangements, including a generous sofa, additional seating, coffee table and entertainment unit.

Importantly, the lounge remains separate from the main kitchen and dining accommodation.

This gives buyers the flexibility to create a quieter living environment away from the activity of the kitchen, making it particularly suitable for family film nights, relaxing evenings or entertaining guests.

The room provides an appealing balance between comfort and functionality.

Open-Plan Kitchen and Dining – The Heart of the Home

A standout feature of the property is the impressive newly fitted kitchen and open-plan dining accommodation.

Designed with modern living in mind, this space combines practical cooking facilities with a sociable arrangement that allows family members and guests to interact comfortably.

The kitchen features a striking combination of deep navy cabinetry, contrasting light worktops, warm wood-effect finishes and carefully selected brass-coloured detailing.

A substantial central island forms a focal point, providing additional preparation space, an inset sink and a breakfast-bar seating area.

Feature pendant lighting above the island adds character, while recessed ceiling lighting contributes to the overall contemporary finish.

The kitchen is fitted with a new range cooker and overhead extractor, providing a practical cooking arrangement with a strong visual presence.

Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and dishwasher, helping maintain the streamlined appearance of the cabinetry.

The extensive cupboard and drawer storage provides useful space for cookware, utensils, food and everyday kitchen essentials.

The island offers a natural gathering point, whether enjoying a morning coffee, preparing meals or chatting with guests while cooking.

The choice of finishes creates a modern yet welcoming environment that is designed for everyday use as well as entertaining.

Dedicated Dining Area – Space to Gather

Adjoining the kitchen is a dedicated dining area, offering ample space for a family dining table and additional furniture.

The open-plan arrangement connects the two spaces without sacrificing their individual functions.

This is particularly beneficial for households that enjoy entertaining, allowing meals to be prepared and served while maintaining a sociable atmosphere.

The dining area benefits from a window, contemporary decoration and coordinated flooring that visually connects it with the kitchen.

Whether used for everyday meals, family celebrations or dinner parties, the space offers flexibility to suit a range of lifestyles.

The combination of kitchen island and dedicated dining area provides multiple seating options, making the ground-floor accommodation particularly practical.

Separate Utility Room – Additional Space and Functionality

Leading from the kitchen is a particularly generous utility room.

This dedicated space provides a valuable addition to the main kitchen accommodation and has been fitted with new cabinetry and appliances, including a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The utility room allows laundry and household tasks to be managed separately from the principal cooking and dining areas.

Additional storage and worktop space provide practical solutions for household organisation.

One of the room's most appealing features is the set of French doors opening directly onto the rear patio and garden.

These doors provide an attractive connection between the internal accommodation and outdoor space, while allowing natural light into the room.

During warmer months, the doors can be opened to create an easy transition to the garden, making the space useful when entertaining outdoors.

The utility room also provides access to the separate office, adding further flexibility to the ground-floor layout.

Home Office, Study or Playroom – A Flexible Additional Room

A particularly useful feature of this property is the separate ground-floor office.

With home working now an important consideration for many buyers, having a dedicated room away from the main living areas is a significant advantage.

The room benefits from natural light through its windows and provides sufficient space for a desk, office chair and shelving or storage furniture.

Its position off the utility room helps create separation from the principal lounge and kitchen, offering a more defined working environment.

For those who do not require a home office, the room could serve equally well as a study, hobby room, reading room or children's playroom.

This flexibility allows the accommodation to adapt as household requirements change.

Whether used for professional work, studying or recreation, the additional room contributes considerably to the overall practicality of the property.

First-Floor Landing

Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to the first-floor landing, which provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The newly decorated interiors and coordinated finishes continue upstairs, creating a consistent appearance throughout the property.

The layout places the sleeping accommodation together on the first floor, separate from the principal living spaces below.

Bedroom One – Generous Double Accommodation

Bedroom one is a generously proportioned double bedroom offering space for a substantial bed, bedside tables and additional bedroom furniture.

The room benefits from a window providing natural light, with neutral decoration and plush cream carpeting creating a comfortable atmosphere.

The proportions allow buyers to arrange the room to suit their preferences, whether incorporating freestanding wardrobes, a dressing table or additional storage.

The contemporary finish provides a versatile backdrop for a wide variety of furnishing styles.

With its generous dimensions, the room offers an inviting principal sleeping space.

Bedroom Two – Another Excellent Double Bedroom

The second bedroom is another well-sized double room, offering impressive flexibility.

With sufficient space for a double bed and accompanying furniture, it is suitable for use as a permanent bedroom, guest accommodation or an additional working space.

The room benefits from a window and the same fresh decorative treatment found throughout the property.

The generous length provides opportunities for different furniture arrangements, making the room adaptable to changing requirements.

Its proportions mean that it offers considerably more versatility than a typical small secondary bedroom.

Bedroom Three – A Genuine Third Double Bedroom

Unlike properties where the third bedroom is restricted to single-bed accommodation, this home benefits from a third generously sized bedroom.

The room provides space for a double bed alongside other essential bedroom furniture.

It would also make an excellent guest bedroom, nursery, study or hobby room, depending on individual requirements.

The room benefits from natural light and coordinated contemporary decoration.

Having three well-proportioned bedrooms is a particularly attractive feature, providing flexibility for growing households, visiting guests or those requiring additional personal space.

Contemporary Four-Piece Family Bathroom

The first-floor bathroom has been completely refurbished and finished to a contemporary standard.

Featuring a four-piece suite, the bathroom includes a separate bathtub, enclosed shower, modern WC and wash hand basin.

Large-format neutral wall and floor tiles create a coordinated appearance, while contrasting black fittings provide a striking contemporary detail.

The separate shower enclosure features black-framed glazing and a rainfall-style shower head.

A modern countertop basin sits above a wood-effect vanity unit, providing useful storage and introducing warmth to the design.

The bathroom also benefits from a window, allowing natural light and ventilation.

Having both a separate bath and shower provides valuable flexibility, whether enjoying a relaxing soak or preparing quickly for the day ahead.

The combination of carefully selected finishes and practical facilities makes this a particularly appealing part of the renovation.

Generous Rear Garden – Outdoor Space with Cardiff Views

The rear garden is another significant attraction.

Accessed directly through the French doors from the utility room, the garden offers a substantial outdoor area with a newly laid patio adjoining the property.

The patio provides an ideal location for outdoor furniture, dining and entertaining.

Beyond the patio is a generous lawned area, which has been newly seeded as part of the improvement works.

The length of the garden offers considerable scope for a range of outdoor activities, whether gardening, relaxing, playing or creating additional landscaped areas.

New fencing has been installed, helping define the outdoor space and providing a fresh appearance along the boundary.

The rear of the property also enjoys views across the surrounding Cardiff area, with an elevated outlook over neighbouring gardens and rooftops.

This outlook adds another appealing dimension to the outside space.

The garden provides an excellent opportunity for purchasers to establish their own planting schemes and outdoor arrangements as the newly seeded lawn becomes established.

For buyers who value outdoor space, the combination of patio, lawn, garden depth and views is particularly attractive.

Double Driveway and Gated Side Access

To the front of the property is a driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles.

This is a valuable practical feature, particularly for households with more than one car or those who regularly welcome visitors.

The driveway provides convenient access directly from the road.

A gated side passage allows access to the rear garden without needing to pass through the house.

This is particularly useful for gardening equipment, bicycles and general outdoor maintenance.

The property's externally updated appearance, contrasting render and dark detailing complement the overall refurbishment.

North Road, Cardiff – A Convenient Capital City Location

Situated on North Road in the CF14 postcode area, the property occupies a location offering access to a range of amenities and facilities across Cardiff.

A Home Designed for Modern Living

What makes 181 North Road particularly appealing is the combination of a comprehensive renovation and a practical, flexible layout.

The open-plan kitchen and dining space provides a sociable central hub, while the separate lounge offers somewhere to relax away from the main activity of the household.

The dedicated utility room keeps everyday tasks organised, and the additional office provides a valuable space for working from home or other uses.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms offer generous proportions, supported by a newly installed four-piece family bathroom.

The garden extends the living space outdoors, while the double driveway and gated side access provide everyday convenience.

Importantly, the refurbishment extends beyond surface-level decoration, with replacement roofing, updated electrics, a new heating system and new windows and doors among the works undertaken.

These improvements help create a home that combines the character and established setting of an existing property with many of the features buyers expect from a modern interior.
