Set behind an attractive period façade on highly regarded Kimberley Road, this substantial four-bedroom home showcases the timeless appeal of Penylan's Victorian architecture, thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. Spanning more than 2,100 sq ft across three floors, it combines impressive proportions, original detailing and versatile family accommodation in one of Cardiff's most desirable residential settings.
The accommodation begins with an inviting entrance hallway, where decorative cornicing, picture rails and patterned flooring provide an immediate introduction to the home's period heritage. An impressive bay-fronted reception room offers an elegant space for relaxing and entertaining, featuring a wood-burning stove, bespoke alcove shelving and an adjoining sitting area that creates a versatile living environment.
To the rear, a separate dining room flows naturally into the well-appointed kitchen, while a utility room and ground-floor cloakroom add everyday practicality.
The first floor hosts four bedrooms, including an attractive principal bedroom with bay windows, together with a family bathroom fitted with both a bath and separate walk-in shower. Above, a converted attic room provides valuable additional space, ideal as a home office, hobbies room or occasional guest room. Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a pleasant setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, featuring a stone-paved terrace, raised planting beds and convenient rear access.
Penylan remains one of Cardiff's most sought-after residential neighbourhoods, renowned for its tree-lined streets, strong sense of community and excellent proximity to the city centre. Nearby Wellfield Road and Albany Road provide an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday amenities, while Waterloo Gardens and Roath Park offer beautiful green spaces for leisure and recreation.
