Description

Nestled in the desirable area of Llanishen on Gilwern Crescent, this three-bedroom semi-detached residence presents a unique opportunity for investors or families looking to create their dream home. Having been well-loved by the same family for generations, the property features spacious rooms and an expansive rear garden that holds significant renovation potential. With planning permission, there are ample prospects for modernization and extensions, whether to the side, rear, or loft—which current local examples have successfully demonstrated. The layout includes a welcoming entrance hallway that connects to a bright lounge and a separate dining room, along with a kitchen and practical utility area converted from the original outhouse, complete with plumbing and electrical points. The first floor accommodates three generously-sized double bedrooms alongside a family bathroom. A standout feature is the large rear garden, ideal for both family gatherings and potential landscaping projects—accessed through multiple entry points including double doors leading to a patio seating area. The garden is designed to draw in natural light, enhancing the sense of openness throughout. Conveniently located near various local amenities such as shops, schools, and recreational facilities, this property also boasts excellent transport links with nearby bus routes and rail services providing straightforward access into Cardiff city centre. Families will appreciate access to several reputable schools in close proximity. Properties with this level of potential rarely come onto the market—this is your chance to invest in a home filled with history while crafting it into your own family's sanctuary.
