There’s a Harry Potter themed house in Cathays: Here’s everything we know

It could be yours for £650 a month


If you’re bored of the bog-standard Cathays student housing, then you might be in luck. Advertised towards working professionals and students, a fully furnished Harry Potter-themed flat is available to rent. Situated on Spencer Street, in the heart of Cathays, every room is filled with movie magic.

The red-themed bedroom is reminiscent of Gryffindor House, with dark wooden furniture, a four-poster bed, a chandelier, and a beautiful copper ceiling. Needless to say, you won’t find anything like this elsewhere in Cathays.

The kitchen and dining room is a Slytherin’s dream. With olive green walls, a wood-burning stove, and gold, snake-shaped door handles, this room is a clear nod to the Slytherin house. A small nook off the side of this room (maybe even a cupboard under the stairs?) appears to replicate the cabins in the Hogwarts Express, and the Hedwig cushion does not go unnoticed.

The dark blue theme throughout the stairwell and the second bedroom is consistent with Ravenclaw house, and the bright white bathroom, filled with plants and a flower covered wall, will keep the Hufflepuff fans happy.

Overall, this is an amazing house, Harry Potter fan or not. It is well-designed, beautifully finished, cosy, and full of charm, and keen film fans will appreciate the finishing touches and attention to detail. It has two bedrooms, and one bathroom, and is available to rent now. So if the start of Autumn has you needing just a bit more Harry Potter in your life, check it out.
