Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home, constructed in 1921, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the historical village of Tongwynlais. Having been owned by the same family since its inception, this property is now available for the first time in over a century, presenting an exciting blank canvas for those looking to modernize while retaining its inherent character. The organization of the living spaces begins with a dining room that welcomes natural light from the front aspect, featuring traditional design elements such as textured ceilings and coving. The adjoining lounge, overlooking the rear garden, is equipped with a gas fireplace and sliding doors that lead outside. These areas provide an ideal setting for open-plan living or could be reconfigured to better suit contemporary preferences. The kitchen features a practical layout with ample wall and base units, making it functional yet ripe for updating. Each of the three bedrooms boasts fitted wardrobes and overlooks either the front or rear gardens—allowing for personal tailoring to create relaxing retreats. The shower room is fully tiled and includes essential amenities; however, there’s substantial potential to enhance this space further. Outside, both front and rear gardens are thoughtfully landscaped with mature planting and include useful outbuildings and a greenhouse. There’s potential for extension subject to planning permissions, allowing you to significantly increase your living space or develop outdoor entertaining areas. Situated near the renowned Castle Coch and within walking distance of local amenities, this property benefits from excellent transport links via the M4 and public transportation options. Additionally, it falls within the catchment area of reputable primary and secondary schools, making it attractive not only as a family home but also as an investment opportunity due to its location prospects. Overall, this property stands out not just as a charming residence but also as a promising canvas for those looking to invest in renovations that can enhance its value while preserving its historical appeal.
