AI Summary
This is a spacious 1950s semi-detached home in a well-regarded North Cardiff suburb, priced to reflect its need for comprehensive modernisation. At £270,000 the asking price aligns closely with the Cardiff average and the comp median of £322,500 suggests reasonable headroom once renovated, though buyers must budget carefully for what is a heavy refurbishment on a large 190m² footprint. The planning application on the adjoining plot and elevated local burglary rate are worth investigating before proceeding.
