A rare late mid-century modern detached house offering 3,700 sq ft of recently restored living space on a large private plot in Cyncoed. Thoughtful renovation has retained original character — Afromosia joinery, strong horizontal lines and extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing — while introducing contemporary comforts such as triple glazing, a fitted quartz kitchen and modern utility spaces. The result is a striking family home with grand reception rooms and generous private courtyards and gardens.
Arranged over multiple levels, the house includes a 20ft lounge, 17ft sitting room, study, 28ft kitchen/family room, four bedrooms, two en suites, family bathroom and basement store. Practical strengths include two double garages, garage parking, mains gas warm-air heating and an EPC B rating. The plot and three Mediterranean-style courtyards deliver sunny, sheltered outdoor rooms and high privacy.
Notable practical considerations are presented plainly: the property is a system-built structure from 1966 with assumed lack of wall insulation, so buyers should expect to review thermal performance and potential retrofit work. Area indicators are mixed — local classification signals an affluent neighbourhood and very low crime, but a separate area deprivation measure flags concerns; purchasers should review local data and services relevant to their needs.
This house will suit families or buyers seeking an architecturally significant, move-in renovated home with scope for further improvement to building fabric. Its size, distinctive design provenance and generous garden make it a standout property for those wanting both space and character close to city amenities.
