INTRODUCTION
Situated only a short distance from the University Hospital of Wales, and close to excellent local amenities is this deceptively spacious bay-fronted end-terrace house offering generous family-size accommodation, but requiring extensive upgrading. It has gas central heating from a Baxi combi boiler that is situated in the kitchen, and there are thermostat-controlled radiators virtually throughout. The property is also extensively double-glazed. We understand that there are solar panels that supply hot water to the property and that the owner currently receives ?80 a quarter renewable heat incentive payment. The property is an end-terrace house with traditional double-bayed (bay-over-bay) front elevations of facing brick and the roof is of modern man-made slates with a rendered gable fascia. (Patress plates have been installed to the front bay to stabilise historic movement.) At the front of the property is a walled and tiled forecourt, and there is an arched entrance porch. At the side is a small garden with mature shrubs, fruit bushes and a wrought-iron pedestrian gate accessing Clodien Avenue. At the rear is a garden of good size with an area to grass and pretty shrubbery borders. There is a large double-length slate-roofed Garage/workshop with Velux windows, and it has an electronic door access from Clodien Avenue.

Local amenities are excellent and include shops and convenience stores in Whitchurch Road and nearbly Crwys Road, junior and senior schools including a popular Welsh-language primary school, excellent bus services, parks and recreational facilities that include Heath Park, and the lovely Roath Park with its famous boating lake, a wide range of restaurants, cafe bars and bistros, a Post Office, Library etc, all within easy reach. It is only a short drive for access on to Eastern Avenue and Northern Avenue which both link to the M4, and it is within easy commuting distance of the city centre.
