Nestled within a row of cute cottages in one of Cardiff's most popular suburbs was a rather ugly duckling of a house that was sliding into a run down state. When it came to the market it was feeling sorry for itself, with damp the only tenant in the empty former much-loved home.
Floors were missing, plaster on the walls was crumbling, and the interior design that still existed dated the last update as sometime in the 1970s.
But back in 2020, looking past the crumbling cement floor, the descending wallpaper, and the dated decor there was the chance for someone to buy the worst house on the street in a popular and pricey location and turn it into one of the best houses, undoubtedly adding value.
