This handsome Edwardian semi-detached house in Penylan has been comprehensively renovated to marry period character with contemporary living. High ceilings, bay windows and original proportions sit alongside a large open-plan kitchen/family room with bi-fold doors and skylights, creating bright, flexible living space over three floors.
The home offers four double bedrooms, two stylish bathrooms plus a separate WC — a layout well suited to families wanting room to grow. The landscaped garden and rear patio extend the entertaining space, and a garage provides useful secure storage or parking. The property is freehold and presented with no onward chain.
Practical details: the EPC is D and external cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so there is some scope to improve energy efficiency. Council tax is high and the immediate area records higher crime levels than average; buyers should factor these into their decision. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working needs, and the property sits in a well-regarded Penylan neighbourhood with local transport links.
Overall, this is a spacious, characterful family home that is ready to move into but offers sensible upgrade opportunities around insulation and energy performance for buyers looking to personalise and future-proof the house.
