The property is located on Penhill Road adjacent to the road junction with Penhill, Cardiff Road and Pencisely Road which is one of the main thoroughfares serving this part of Cardiff. Cardiff City Centre lies within 1½ miles to the south east. The property comprises a villa style former residence dating back to the late 19th Century with later additions, and separate former caretaker’s house on a site of approximately 0.61 acre (0.25 hectare) with stepped levels overlooking Llandaff Fields.

The site area is 0.05 acres (206 m2) in size and is made up of a flat site with two garage units on site. No survey information is available for the garage units and it is advised that prospective purchasers seek independent advise with regards to the structure and safety of the building. The garages were previously let by the Council but are now vacant. The remainder of the site is open land providing access to the garages.

The cafe is situated within a unique location and benefits from an enclosed kitchen building, sheltered courtyard housing approximately 18 covers, public toilets and use of an outside terrace with space for at least a further 42 covers.

The Council is committed to working with community groups and local people to ensure the continued use of the property. Cardiff Council invites full detailed business plans from individuals, groups and commercial organisations with the necessary skills and experience to provide a community benefit and sustainable future for the building. All options and proposals for the future use will be considered, subject to planning (current planning use class order D1).  Interested parties will need to demonstrate an ability to provide a long term sustainable future for the property. The Council intend to dispose of the property on a leasehold basis on terms to be agreed.
