An impressive and beautifully presented five-bedroom period home on Church Road, Canton.
The ground floor immediately sets the tone, with an attractive entrance hall retaining its decorative tiled floor leading into two generous reception areas. The principal living room is particularly striking, with a large bay window, beautiful ornate ceiling detailing, parquet flooring and a wood-burning stove, while the adjoining sitting room provides further flexible family living space and continues the home's period character.
To the rear is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room, creating a wonderful everyday living and entertaining space. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of shaker-style cabinetry, solid timber work surfaces, integrated appliances and a large peninsula, complemented by herringbone flooring and plenty of room for a substantial dining table. A separate utility area and ground-floor WC complete the ground-floor accommodation.
Across the upper floors are five bedrooms, including several particularly generous doubles. The bedrooms retain plenty of personality and period detailing, with attractive fireplaces, high ceilings and excellent natural light. A contemporary family bathroom and separate shower room provide excellent facilities for a house of this size, while the second floor offers two further substantial bedrooms that would equally suit teenagers, guests or dedicated home-working space.
Outside, the property enjoys an enclosed rear garden with mature planting, lawn and decked seating areas, providing a private and established space in which to relax.
Church Road is exceptionally well placed for the independent shops, cafés and restaurants of Canton and neighbouring Pontcanna, while the city centre and Cardiff's extensive parkland are also within easy reach.
