The lounge opens through an archway to a conservatory and raised balcony. A separate kitchen/breakfast room connects to the dining room, and the listing describes the kitchen area as usable but offering scope for updating or reconfiguration. Four bedrooms are arranged on the ground floor, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite. A further shower room and a separate utility room serve the household. The layout and room sizes offer flexibility for different uses, subject to the existing arrangement. Outside, the property has front and rear gardens, including a pond, mature planting and several seating areas. A substantial driveway provides off-road parking, and a detached double garage is described as having power, lighting and a WC. The listing notes possible uses for the garage, including a workspace or additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. Extension or redevelopment is also mentioned as a possibility, subject to planning; feasibility would need to be checked. The property is described as well cared for but in need of some updating. It is in Marshfield, with local shops, pubs and green spaces, and road connections towards Cardiff and Newport. The listing also refers to the proposed Cardiff Parkway station near St Mellons and its planned connections.
