This well-preserved Edwardian semi-detached house offers spacious, period-accented family living in Penylan. Large rooms, high ceilings and original features (cornices, picture rails, leadlight glazing) give the property character while modern upgrades — including a new boiler (2024) and majority double glazing — improve comfort and efficiency.
The ground floor has a generous entrance hall, bay-fronted lounge, second reception room opening to the landscaped rear garden, kitchen/diner and a small utility room. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a neatly appointed ensuite; the layout feels like a 4-bed style home while remaining manageable for family life.
Externally the plot is generous for the area, with driveway parking for at least three cars, a detached garage and an enclosed front forecourt. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, and there is convenient access to local schools, shops, bus routes and Newport Road retail.
Important practical points: the property’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, the age of some glazing is unspecified and the EPC sits at C — so further insulation or energy improvements could reduce running costs. The wider neighbourhood shows indicators of deprivation despite being within an otherwise affluent suburb, which buyers should consider alongside the house’s strong local amenities.
