A seemingly ordinary tarmac plot in Cardiff is going to auction for £90,000, with plans for a three-bedroom house approved.
Cardiff: You might walk right past a plain tarmac slab in Rhiwbina. But this plot is worth at least £90,000. Surprised? You’re not alone.
This tarmac area sits in a cul-de-sac near Rhiwbina Primary School. It’s used for parking during school drop-off and pick-up times. But it could be much more valuable.
The plot is going to a virtual auction with Seel & Co. It has planning permission for a three-bedroom house. If you see potential here, consider placing a bid.
Some might find the £90,000 starting price surprising. But with enough interest, it could sell for much more. The auction is set to attract many bidders.
Huw Edwards from Seel & Co says this land is rare. It’s in a popular area, right next to a school entrance. This makes it perfect for families.
Rhiwbina has a village feel with local shops and cafes nearby. It’s a friendly community with a well-regarded primary school feeding into Whitchurch High School.
This area has a rich history. Rhiwbina Garden Village was developed in 1913, focusing on sustainable living. It combines the best of town and country life.
Rhiwbina is a sought-after place to live. House prices here average £346,504, higher than Cardiff’s average of £289,702. It’s a desirable location.
Huw notes that Rhiwbina is always popular. It has great amenities and transport links, plus a top primary school.
The approved house plans include a modern two-story design. It features an open-plan kitchen, three bedrooms, and off-street parking for two cars.
Huw explains that this land was previously owned by Cardiff City Council. The clever design helped secure planning permission for this sought-after area.
You can view the approved plans on the Cardiff planning portal. The online auction starts on February 3, with bidding ending on February 4. For more details, contact Seel & Co.
