Set along one of Pontcanna’s most desirable residential crescents, this beautifully presented Victorian home combines timeless period character with the quality and convenience of modern living.
Originally built circa 1860, the property was comprehensively refurbished by award-winning developer Portabella, with works completed in 2015. The result is a characterful yet contemporary home that celebrates its Victorian origins while offering a stylish, comfortable and versatile setting for modern life.
Arranged over three floors, the accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, two useful additional storage rooms and two recently refurbished bathrooms. Traditional sash windows preserve the property's handsome period appearance, complemented by double glazing throughout for enhanced everyday comfort.
One of the home's particular attractions is its position within the terrace, with the wider section of the property towards the rear helping to create a more sheltered feel to the principal rooms. Outside, a generous front patio provides an inviting approach, while the enclosed rear garden offers a private setting for morning coffee, relaxed summer evenings and entertaining friends.
Permit parking adds further practicality to this established residential location.
Few Cardiff neighbourhoods offer quite the same combination of architectural charm, independent businesses and green open spaces as Pontcanna.
From the cafés, artisan bakeries, restaurants and neighbourhood favourites of Pontcanna and nearby Canton to the elegant surroundings of Cathedral Road, there is an appealing choice of places to eat, meet and unwind, all contributing to the area's distinctive village-like atmosphere.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Pontcanna Fields, Thompson Park, Sophia Gardens and the nearby River Taff offer beautiful spaces for walking, running and cycling. The Taff Trail provides a particularly attractive route alongside the river, with Bute Park and Cardiff city centre also within easy reach.
Despite its peaceful residential setting, Romilly Crescent is exceptionally well placed for city living. Cardiff city centre is accessible on foot, while local bus services, nearby railway stations and convenient road connections provide links across Cardiff and beyond.
The area also offers a choice of primary and secondary schools, including Radnor Primary School, Severn Primary School, Ysgol Gymraeg Treganna and Fitzalan High School, subject to individual catchment arrangements and admissions criteria.
The three-storey layout provides flexibility for changing lifestyles, with additional storage rooms offering useful potential for household organisation or alternative uses, subject to suitability. The recently refurbished bathrooms, double glazing and carefully modernised interior further enhance the property's everyday appeal.
For professionals seeking a well-connected city home, couples looking for additional space or buyers wanting to put down roots in Pontcanna, this is an opportunity to enjoy a characterful property in a location that continues to attract discerning buyers.
A distinctive Victorian home, a private outdoor retreat and one of Cardiff's most sought-after addresses.
