🌿 Cardiff's Large Garden Homes - Rarer Than You Might Think
For some buyers, the garden matters just as much as the house. The size of the kitchen, the number of bedrooms, the school catchment - all important. But for a significant group of Cardiff buyers, outdoor space is the deal maker.
So how much of it is actually out there?
Across Cardiff and its surrounding villages, there are just **1,478 homes sitting on plots of between 0.25 and 0.5 acres** - roughly a quarter to half a football pitch. Enough room for lawns, mature trees, vegetable beds, a greenhouse, a play area, space to entertain. A genuine outdoor life.
At the time of writing, only **25 of those 1,478 homes are currently for sale**. That is 1.7% of the total stock. These properties do not come up often - and when they do, they tend to attract serious attention.
Here is how they break down by postcode:
🏡 CF3 - 232 homes | avg. value £727,958
🏡 CF5 - 376 homes | avg. value £765,929
🏡 CF10 - 9 homes | avg. value £690,111
🏡 CF11 - 17 homes | avg. value £650,647
🏡 CF14 - 369 homes | avg. value £933,730
🏡 CF15 - 205 homes | avg. value £808,349
🏡 CF23 - 262 homes | avg. value £1,012,847
🏡 CF24 - 8 homes | avg. value £220,375
One of the most interesting findings? These are not all large detached country houses. In CF5 alone there are 89 semi-detached homes on plots of this size. In CF14, 76. Large gardens hide behind all kinds of properties in Cardiff.
Of the 1,478 homes, just over half (52%) have changed hands at least once since 1995. Many have stayed with the same owners for decades - and it is easy to understand why. When you find the outdoor space you want, you tend to hold onto it.
