Set within the historic and picturesque village of Tongwynlais, this beautifully presented semi detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village living at the edge of Cardiff while remaining exceptionally well connected. Behind its charming exterior lies a home of warmth and character, where stone floors, a working fireplace and considered detailing create spaces that feel both grounded and welcoming.
The flow of the ground floor is ideal for everyday living and entertaining, with the living room opening directly onto a raised deck that draws the surrounding greenery into the home.

Outside, the gardens are set within 0.24 acres (0.096 hectares) which includes a parcel of land to the front and unfolds across multiple levels offering areas for seating, storage and recreation, while a summer house and double garage add further versatility.
