Set within the ever popular 'The Rises', West Rise is a beautifully appointed late 1920's handsome red brick semi-detached house combining timeless elegance with functional living spaces. Believed to have been originally designed by the well regarded architect Sir Percy Thomas.
Natural light fills the open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting room, where bespoke cabinetry, stone surfaces, and underfloor heating create an inviting, refined atmosphere. The home features four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a primary suite with walk-through wardrobes and a luxurious en suite, complemented by a stylish family bathroom.
Outside, the generous landscaped southwest-facing garden offers mature borders, a raised patio, multiple seating areas, and a versatile home studio/office/guest room, creating a tranquil retreat. Off-street parking for several vehicles and purpose-built storage complete the practical yet sophisticated appeal.
West Rise has been completely overhauled by the current owners in the last 10 years to create an impressive home. Part of retaining the classic and sympathetic renovation throughout also includes a new roof with it's style leaning into the classic period of the property.
Llanishen is renowned for its strong sense of community, excellent schools, and convenient transport links, with Cardiff city centre accessible via regular bus and train services within a stone's throw of the house. Residents enjoy proximity to local shops, cafés, parks, and recreational facilities, including walking routes around the nearby reservoir. This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful, light-filled home in one of Cardiff s most sought-after suburbs.
