Exciting news for Cardiff! Roath Park House, a gorgeous Victorian gem in the heart of Roath Park, is set for a revival. After years of being empty, there’s a golden opportunity to bring this historic beauty back to life! 🏡✨
Originally home to William Wallace Pettigrew, who played a huge role in developing Cardiff’s lush parks, this two-storey marvel was built in 1897. It served as the official residence for the city’s director of parks, and later hosted other members of the parks department until the 1980s when damp issues forced it to close.
Fast forward to 2021, and there were big plans to transform it into a café and cooking school. Sadly, those plans were shelved during the pandemic. Now, Cardiff Council is calling upon creative individuals, businesses, and organisations to submit expressions of interest in using the property for community, recreation, leisure, or wellbeing projects. Interested? You’ve got until August 28 to throw your hat in the ring!
Already refurbished at a cost of £575,000, Roath Park House stands ready to become a vibrant community hub once again. Imagine sipping coffee under its grand roof or hosting a community yoga session in this key piece of Cardiff’s history!
Plus, with Roath Park recently earning accolades as one of the UK’s top green spaces, it’s the perfect time to breathe new life into this beloved landmark. Let’s get creative and bring some fresh energy to this historical treasure. Share your vision with Cardiff Council, and let’s see Roath Park House shine bright once more! 🌿
