The building

The building on North Road was offices for Cardiff University. We put the scheme together and secured planning permission to convert it into a nine bedroom shared house, then acquired it from the university in June 2026.

What we did

A full conversion over the summer in a very tight timeframe of 12 weeks. This involved a new layout, new en-suite shower rooms, a large open plan kitchen and living space, new heating, solar panels with battery storage, and a seating area outside. Every room was furnished to the highest standard for our next tenants.

The result

All rooms were let off plan before the building was completed.
