Area Guide:
Located in the heart of Cathays, Gelligaer Street is within easy reach of Cardiff city centre and a wealth of local amenities. The area is popular with families, young professionals and students thanks to its proximity to Cardiff University, the University Hospital of Wales, and excellent transport connections. There are a range of local shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants nearby, while Roath Park with its lake and gardens is just a short stroll away. Public transport links are well served, with frequent bus routes and nearby rail stations at Cathays and Heath Low Level offering easy access across Cardiff and beyond. Local schools, both primary and secondary, are within walking distance, adding further appeal for families.
This is a superb opportunity to acquire a traditional Cardiff home in a sought-after and vibrant location.
