This substantial six double-bedroom detached home in Lisvane offers generous, flexible family accommodation across approximately 3,600 sq ft. Ground floor living is versatile with a large principal reception room, formal dining room, family room and an additional formal sitting room, plus a principal dining kitchen and separate second kitchen — ideal for multi-generational households or regular entertaining. Outside, the property sits on about a 0.21 acre plot with terraces, landscaped gardens, extensive driveway parking and a double garage.
The principal suite includes a dressing room and bath/shower room, while bedrooms 2 and 4 each have en-suite shower rooms; three further double bedrooms provide plenty of space for children, guests or home offices. Practical ground-floor facilities include a utility room and a shower/WC, supporting busy family life. The setting in Lisvane places the house in a comfortable suburban, low-crime area with good connectivity and local amenities.
Buyers should note several material issues: the property was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s, double glazing was installed before 2002, cavity walls are only partially insulated (assumed) and main heating appears to rely on portable electric heaters in many rooms with wood logs listed as the main fuel — all indicating potential immediate and ongoing energy-efficiency and heating upgrades. Council tax is described as very expensive. These factors mean some investment in modern heating, insulation and glazing may be required to improve comfort and running costs.
In short, this is a large, well-laid-out family home with strong entertaining and parking credentials and clear potential for modernisation. It will suit buyers seeking space and configurational flexibility who are prepared to update heating and insulation to contemporary standards.
