Located in the heart of Pontcanna, this elegant Victorian home blends original character with modern comfort — from oak flooring and traditional tiles to a fully equipped contemporary kitchen.

The Pontcanna Ruby is a carefully renovated Victorian apartment located on Ryder Street in the heart of Pontcanna. The property combines period character with contemporary comfort, creating a space that feels both distinctive and welcoming.
The open-plan living area brings together a fully equipped modern kitchen, a comfortable sofa area, and a dining table positioned by the window overlooking the leafy street below. It’s an ideal setting for relaxed evenings, remote working, or slow breakfasts before heading out into the city.
Both bedrooms are thoughtfully furnished with quality pieces and dressed in hotel-standard bedding to ensure a restful night’s sleep. High ceilings and generous proportions enhance the sense of light and space throughout.
The bathroom is modern and fully equipped, complementing the apartment’s original features, which include a Victorian fireplace, decorative ceiling coving, solid oak flooring, and traditional early 20th-century tiles at the entrance porch — subtle reminders of the building’s heritage.
A balanced blend of character, comfort and considered design.
The Pontcanna Ruby is set in the heart of Pontcanna, widely regarded as one of Cardiff’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Known for its independent spirit and elegant Victorian streets, Pontcanna offers a relaxed village atmosphere just moments from the city centre.
A short stroll from the apartment brings you to some of Cardiff’s finest independent restaurants, wine bars and speciality coffee shops. The area has been recognised as one of the best places to live in the UK by The Daily Telegraph, reflecting its blend of character, culture and community feel.
Green space is equally abundant. Bute Park and Sophia Gardens are within easy walking distance, offering beautiful riverside walks and open parkland. Cardiff Castle and the Principality Stadium are also nearby, making the apartment an ideal base for concerts, rugby internationals and major city events.
It’s the perfect balance — a peaceful, leafy setting with the energy of central Cardiff just minutes away.
