Cefn View is a much‑loved, extended cottage set in about one third of an acre on quiet Began Road, on the edge of Old St Mellons. The house combines original 19th‑century character — exposed stonework, oak beams and cast‑iron fireplaces — with high‑quality recent renovations including a light, spacious kitchen/diner and contemporary bathrooms. The plot is private and mature, with lawns, an Italian‑style courtyard and far‑reaching views across open fields.
The accommodation suits a growing family: four double bedrooms (principal with vaulted ceiling and ensuite), generous reception rooms and flexible entertaining spaces that flow to the garden. Practical features include a utility room, walk‑in larder, a double garage clad in Welsh larch with electric doors, parking for at least four cars and superfast broadband for home working.
Important factual points: the house is a semi‑detached, freehold property originally built c.1800 and extended twice. It has been newly renovated, but buyers should note it is one of a pair of former farmworkers’ cottages and sits in a semi‑rural setting. Local services and schools are nearby and Cardiff city centre is around a 20‑minute drive, yet some local statistical indicators note area deprivation despite the wider area being classed as affluent; crime levels are average. Flood risk is none.
This property will appeal to families seeking a character home with generous outdoor space and strong indoor‑outdoor flow, plus commuters wanting easy motorway access. Viewing will best show how the recent updates sit alongside the cottage’s original features and the extensive, private gardens.
