1 Hardwicke Court, Cardiff, CF5 2LB

Some places just feel special. Llandaff is one of them. Cobblestones and coffee shops. Cathedral walks and Sunday lunches.

Independent businesses, beautiful old buildings, green spaces and a genuine sense of community, all while Cardiff city centre is only a few miles away.

And tucked into this historic corner of the city is a home with just as much personality.

With its distinctive Tudor-inspired frontage, more than 2,300 sq ft of space , four generous bedrooms, a double garage and a beautiful established garden, this is anything but your average modern family home.

It’s a house with presence. But perhaps more importantly, it’s a house you can imagine living in Come through the front door and there’s an immediate feeling of space.

The large lounge is made for evenings when everyone piles onto the sofas, while the separate dining room gives you somewhere to shut the door on everyday life, light the candles and get everyone around the table.

Christmas here could be rather good. The kitchen stretches across the rear of the house, looking towards the garden, with a separate utility room alongside it.

There’s plenty of space already, but also the opportunity for someone with a bit of imagination to create something spectacular. And that’s part of the appeal of this home.

It doesn't need to pretend to be a freshly renovated grey-and-white show home. It has the bones, the proportions and the location. The next owners get to decide what comes next.

Upstairs, things get even better. The principal bedroom is the sort of space you rarely find.

Generous, private and complete with its own dressing room and en-suite , it feels like a proper retreat at the end of the day. Then there are three further bedrooms and these are proper bedrooms.

Space for children to grow up, teenagers to disappear into, guests to stay over or a home office without sacrificing a bedroom altogether. Outside, the garden feels wonderfully established.

A large lawn sits at its centre, surrounded by mature planting and trees, with plenty of room for long summer evenings, barbecues with friends, children running around and the sort of Sunday afternoon where nobody particularly wants to go anywhere.

Although when you do, you've got Llandaff on your doorstep.

This is one of Cardiff's most historic and characterful communities, centred around the magnificent Llandaff Cathedral , whose history stretches back centuries.

The village itself has retained an identity all of its own, with independent cafés, pubs and local businesses sitting alongside beautiful architecture and leafy walks.

Head down towards the River Taff and you can join the Taff Trail, wander through nearby parkland or continue towards the city.

In the other direction, you're never far from everything Cardiff has to offer. It’s that combination that makes Llandaff so difficult to replicate.

You can feel removed from the pace of the city without actually leaving it. And this house fits beautifully into that story. It has space. It has character. It has a fantastic garden.

It has a double garage. And, at more than 2,300 sq ft, it gives a family room to properly put down roots. Yes, there’s scope to modernise it. But that's exactly what makes it exciting.

Because kitchens can be changed. Bathrooms can be redesigned. Colours can be chosen and walls can be decorated.

What you can't manufacture quite so easily is this amount of space, in a home with this much individuality, in a community like Llandaff. This isn't simply somewhere to move into.

It's somewhere to make your own, put down roots and become part of Llandaff life. Contact us today to book your viewing, we’d love to show you around! EPC Rating: C
