About this home
Three Double Bedroom Student Apartment on Cathays TerraceHarry Harper Sales & Lettings are pleased to offer this fully furnished, three double bedroom first-floor apartment on Cathays Terrace, ideally positioned for students looking to live within easy reach of Cardiff University, the Students' Union and Cardiff city centre. Available for the 2026/2027 academic year, the property combines a highly convenient Cathays location with a practical layout that works particularly well for a group of three students. Rather than sacrificing the communal space to create an additional bedroom, the apartment retains a separate living room, giving the household somewhere to relax, eat and socialise away from the bedrooms. All three bedrooms are doubles, while the accommodation also includes a fitted kitchen and bathroom with a full-size bath and shower. The property is offered fully furnished, making it a straightforward option for students wanting to move into an established home close to university facilities and the wide range of amenities available throughout Cathays. A Location Made for Cardiff Student LifeLocation is one of the strongest reasons to consider this property. Cathays Terrace places residents in the heart of one of Cardiff's best-known student areas, providing convenient access to university buildings, local shops, supermarkets, food outlets and the city centre. For students, that can make a significant difference to day-to-day life. Being able to walk to lectures, meet friends nearby or head into the city without having to rely on a car is a major advantage. Cardiff University's Students' Union and university facilities are within walking distance, while the surrounding Cathays area provides the everyday amenities expected from such a popular student neighbourhood. There are shops, cafés, takeaways and other services throughout the surrounding streets, while larger supermarkets are also readily accessible. Cardiff city centre can be reached on foot, opening up an even wider selection of shopping, restaurants, entertainment, nightlife and leisure facilities. For a group looking to experience Cardiff student life while keeping university and the city within easy reach, the location is difficult to overlook. Separate Living RoomA major advantage of the apartment is its dedicated communal living space. The living room provides enough space to create both lounge and dining areas, making it somewhere the household can genuinely use together rather than having to socialise in individual bedrooms. The room is furnished with seating, a coffee table and dining furniture, while a large window introduces natural light. Neutral walls and wood-effect flooring help keep the space practical and easy to maintain. The living room leads directly through to the kitchen, creating a convenient arrangement for everyday student living. Whether it is a quiet evening after lectures, dinner together or simply somewhere to sit away from the bedrooms, having a dedicated communal room is an important feature for a three-person household. Fitted KitchenThe separate kitchen is fitted with a range of light wood-effect wall and base units, complemented by work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. There is useful preparation and storage space around the room, with the U-shaped arrangement making practical use of the available floor area. The kitchen includes cooking facilities, a sink and drainer, refrigeration and space for the everyday appliances expected in a student home. Its position immediately alongside the living and dining room also means the principal communal areas remain connected while still being individually defined. For three occupants, the combination of cupboard storage and worktop space provides a functional setup for preparing meals and storing groceries. Three Double BedroomsOne of the most marketable features of 105A Cathays Terrace is the provision of three double bedrooms. Each bedroom provides space for a double bed alongside bedroom furniture, making the accommodation well suited to a group of three rather than creating an obvious compromise for one member of the household. The rooms benefit from natural light and are presented in a straightforward, neutral style. Storage is available within the bedrooms, with the property being offered fully furnished for the forthcoming academic year. The larger proportions and traditional features visible within parts of the accommodation also give the bedrooms more character than many purpose-built student properties. For groups comparing properties in Cathays, three double rooms combined with a completely separate communal lounge is a particularly useful arrangement. BathroomThe bathroom provides the essentials required for a shared student household in a practical, easy-to-maintain space. There is a full-size bath with shower facility, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. Light marble-effect wall panelling surrounds much of the room, while an obscured window provides natural light and privacy. The inclusion of a bath gives occupants the flexibility of both bathing and showering facilities. Fully FurnishedThe apartment is offered fully furnished, helping simplify the move into the property at the beginning of the tenancy. The accommodation shown includes beds and bedroom storage, together with seating and dining furniture within the living area and essential kitchen appliances. This makes the property particularly convenient for students who do not want the expense or difficulty of furnishing an apartment for the academic year. Prospective tenants should confirm the precise furniture and appliances included within the tenancy before signing.
First-Floor AccommodationThe property occupies a first-floor position and provides all of its principal accommodation across the apartment. The layout separates the three private bedrooms from the communal living, kitchen and bathroom facilities while keeping everything conveniently accessible. Traditional proportions and high ceilings in parts of the property add to the sense of space, particularly within the bedrooms. Living in CathaysCathays remains one of Cardiff's most established locations for students, largely because of its proximity to Cardiff University and the city centre. The neighbourhood offers the convenience of having a wide variety of day-to-day amenities close to home while still allowing residents to reach central Cardiff easily. For students with lectures and university commitments throughout the week, the ability to walk to university can remove much of the hassle and expense associated with a daily commute. Outside university hours, the surrounding area provides plenty of choice for food, shopping and socialising. The location also puts residents within easy reach of public transport connections for journeys elsewhere in Cardiff and beyond. An Excellent Option for a Group of ThreeThis property should particularly appeal to a group of three students searching for an established Cathays home where each tenant can have a double bedroom without giving up a dedicated communal room. The combination of three double bedrooms, separate living space, fitted kitchen, full bathroom and furnished accommodation creates a sensible layout for sharing. Add the Cathays Terrace address and proximity to university facilities, and the result is a property positioned to offer exactly the type of convenience many students prioritise when choosing accommodation. With the property available for the 2026/2027 academic year, early viewing is recommended for groups looking to secure accommodation in this popular part of Cardiff.
