Description

Nestled in the popular Rhiwbina Garden Village, this Grade II listed home at 7 Pen Y Dre presents a unique blend of historical charm and investment potential. As you approach the property, the serene front garden offers an inviting first impression, leading to a quaint enclosed porch that serves as a welcoming entryway. Upon entering, you'll find a bright interior filled with original period features that evoke a distinctive cottage atmosphere. The ground floor features an airy reception room with a feature fireplace and natural light pouring in through side and front-facing windows. This space is perfect for relaxing or entertaining and retains the characteristic warmth of a traditional cottage. Towards the back, an extended main reception room provides ample space for both lounging and dining, further enhanced by a log burner for those chilly evenings and sliding glass doors connecting to the private rear garden. The kitchen has also benefited from an extension, offering potential for further enhancement into a stylish kitchen diner with direct access to the outdoor space—ideal for enjoying coffee in the morning sun or hosting family meals. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms including two doubles and a single room—each maintaining their own sense of charm—along with a modern shower room that contrasts nicely with the home's characterful aesthetic. The private rear garden is beautifully planted, providing a secluded oasis perfect for leisure activities or gardening enthusiasts. Some refurbishment is needed throughout to restore this property to its full splendor; however, it already exudes warmth and character that can be further enhanced through thoughtful modernization. With no onward chain, this home offers an uncomplicated path toward investment and personal customization in one of Cardiff's most cherished neighborhoods.
