An elegant and remarkably spacious period semi-detached home on Pencisely Road, beautifully cared for and sympathetically extended to create a warm and versatile family residence. Original character has been thoughtfully preserved, with stained glass, parquet and timber flooring, decorative ceilings, cornicing and handsome working fireplaces complemented by generous modern living spaces.
The ground floor is particularly well arranged, featuring two characterful reception rooms alongside a superb kitchen and breakfast room opening naturally into the orangery and dining area. French doors provide a lovely outlook and easy connection to the garden. A useful utility room and ground floor shower room add further practicality.
Across the first and second floors are six well-proportioned bedrooms, four on the first floor and two on the second, both benefiting from good ceiling heights. The first floor is served by a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom, while excellent built-in and loft storage provides valuable additional space.
Outside, mature planting offers privacy to the front, together with off-road parking. The rear garden is a particular highlight, with a central lawn framed by established trees, shrubs and planted borders, including a beautiful magnolia. Paved seating areas and a pergola create inviting spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Pencisely Road is exceptionally well positioned for Llandaff and Victoria Park, with independent shops, cafés and restaurants close by. Excellent local schools, nearby bus routes and rail connections provide convenient access to Cardiff city centre, while the Taff Trail, Pontcanna Fields and Llandaff Fields offer extensive green space nearby. An outstanding setting for family life in one of Cardiff’s most established and desirable residential areas.
