Set within an exceptional approx. 2-acre plot, this spacious five-bedroom semi-detached cottage delivers classic character, elevated sea views and versatile living spaces ideal for family life. Dual reception rooms, a large fitted kitchen, ground-floor study and utility provide practical day-to-day living, while two en‑suite bedrooms plus three further doubles suit a growing household or multigenerational use. South-facing landscaped gardens, three patios, fruit trees and woodland offer private outdoor space and excellent sun exposure.
Practical value drivers include a large block-paved in-and-out driveway for six-plus cars, a detached double garage with full planning permission to convert into a 1–2 bedroom annexe, and solar panels currently returning approx. £3,000pa. The property is being sold chain-free and sits close to Cardiff city centre and the M4 link road for commuting convenience.
Buyers should note several material facts: heating is by LPG boiler (bottled gas), drainage is to a cesspit, and the EPC is rated D. Glazing was installed pre‑2002 and cavity walls are recorded with insulation but the walls description also notes “as built, no insulation (assumed)”—buyers should verify insulation specifics. Council tax is in a high band (G). The wider area data flags “very deprived” for local area deprivation despite comfortable suburbia classification, which may affect services and perceptions.
This home suits a family seeking lots of indoor/outdoor space with scope to add value (annexe conversion, modernisation or energy improvements) or buyers wanting an income stream from existing solar. Practical checks recommended before offer: LPG and cesspit servicing arrangements, insulation and glazing upgrade needs, and annexe conversion costs and potential returns.
