This substantial Victorian property combines the character and proportions of a 5-6 bedroom period home. Currently arranged as a mixed use property with an approx. split of 70% residential and 30% D1 commercial - it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy living and working from the same address.
Arranged over four floors, with the added benefit of a useful cellar, the accommodation is both generous and adaptable. The commercial space provides a number of well proportioned reception and therapy rooms, while the residential accommodation above includes welcoming living areas, a well appointed kitchen with breakfast island, comfortable bedrooms and bath and shower facilities. Original features have been carefully preserved throughout, including high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces, picture rails and exposed timber floors, all of which reflect the property's Victorian heritage. The cellar provides valuable additional storage.
Outside, the rear garden offers a surprisingly peaceful setting, with a paved seating area leading onto a generous lawn enclosed by mature stone walls. Beyond the garden is private off road parking for several vehicles, an increasingly valuable feature in this part of the city.
Pontcanna is one of Cardiff's most established and well loved neighbourhoods, known for its independent cafés, restaurants, bakeries and local shops. Bute Park, Sophia Gardens and the Taff Trail are all within walking distance, as are Cardiff city centre and Cardiff Central railway station. The area is also home to a number of highly regarded schools and benefits from excellent road links, making it a location that continues to appeal to professionals, families and those looking to enjoy everything this part of Cardiff has to offer.
