Exciting news for Roath! 🏡 A historic Victorian property on Newport Road is about to get a fresh new look. This former guesthouse is set to transform into a 17-bedroom HMO, offering a modern solution to the local housing demand. With planning permission granted, this three-storey end-of-terrace gem will house residents in style with 17 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, and three kitchens. 🛌🚿🍽
Notably, there’ll be no dedicated car parking, but the developers are promoting sustainable travel by providing on-site cycle parking for all residents. 🚲 The area is bustling with a mix of homes, guesthouses, and small businesses, making it an ideal spot for shared accommodation.
Vacant for over nine months, the property struggled to find a buyer interested in maintaining it as a guesthouse. However, this change reflects the area’s evolving needs, bringing a much-needed housing option and making efficient use of the existing structure.
With this exciting development, residents can look forward to more housing choices without increasing vehicular traffic, as the shift aims to encourage sustainable and active transport. 🌿
Stay tuned for updates as this project progresses and brings a new lease of life to this charming corner of Cardiff!
