Description

Introducing a spacious five-bedroom semi-detached cottage that presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled within approximately two acres of land, this property offers stunning elevated views of Cardiff Bay and the Bristol Channel, making it an appealing prospect for those looking to enhance a charming character home. The location benefits from its proximity to Cardiff City Centre and convenient access to the M4 Motorway, ensuring that both urban amenities and transport links are just a short distance away. With ample space both inside and out, the property showcases significant potential for modernization and expansion. On the ground floor, the layout includes a welcoming hallway leading to multiple living areas, including a sizable living room with large windows that frame picturesque views of the garden and beyond. The kitchen features a range of wall and base units with granite work surfaces, providing a solid foundation for further updates or reconfiguration. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room, study, utility room, and additional cloakroom facilities—a configuration that allows for flexible living arrangements. Upstairs, you'll find five generously sized bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while another bedroom also has its own en-suite. These spacious rooms retain original elements such as wooden beams, offering a unique character alongside their functional layouts. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, which all provide ample space for personal touches or remodels. The exterior features include a block-paved 'in and out' driveway capable of accommodating multiple vehicles along with a detached double garage. This garage not only offers storage but comes with planning permission for conversion into a one- or two-bedroom annexe—a valuable asset for rental income or accommodating extended family. The south-facing gardens provide well-maintained lawns dotted with mature shrubs and fruit trees along with three patio areas ideal for outdoor entertaining. Additionally, there are greenhouses on site along with wooded sections that add to the natural appeal of the property. Given its size, location advantages, and existing planning permissions—such as converting the double garage—this cottage stands as an attractive proposition for those looking to invest in real estate or create their dream home through renovation. With no onward chain in place, this opportunity provides immediate availability for discerning buyers ready to capitalize on its extensive potential.
