About
Nestled within the highly desirable area of Lisvane, this charming five-bedroom detached cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home sitting on a substantial plot with wrap-around gardens, mature planting, and excellent potential.
Offered to the market chain free, the property is ideal for families, those looking to upsize, or investors seeking a home with scope to modernise and add value.
This 5-bed is also perfect for growing families.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway with a family bathroom positioned directly ahead, which also benefits from ample storage space.
To the left, stairs lead up to one of the bedrooms, offering an ideal guest room, home office, or private retreat.
To the right of the entrance is a generously sized reception room, filled with natural light and featuring patio doors opening out to the front of the property, creating a welcoming space for both relaxing and entertaining.
Continuing through the ground floor, and beyond the reception room, a second staircase leads to the main upstairs accommodation, comprising four further bedrooms and a large family bathroom complete with both a separate bath and shower.
At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/diner — a substantial space perfectly suited to family living and social gatherings.
The kitchen also benefits from a door leading out to the side of the property, providing convenient access to the garden and outdoor areas.
Externally, the property benefits from wrap-around gardens with mature planting, offering a pleasant and private outdoor space rather than extensive grounds.
There is also ample off-road parking for five or more vehicles.
While the property would benefit from modernisation, it offers enormous potential to create a truly exceptional family home in one of Cardiff’s most sought-after locations.
Lisvane is renowned for its village feel, excellent schools, beautiful green spaces, and strong sense of community, whilst still offering excellent transport links into Cardiff City Centre and beyond.
The area benefits from nearby train stations, convenient road links including easy access to the A48 and M4, as well as a selection of local shops, cafés, pubs, and walking routes.
The property is also well positioned within sought-after school catchment areas, offering access to a range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools, subject to admission and catchment criteria.
Anti Money Laundering Regulations We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property as prescribed by the Money Laundering Regulations 2017.
Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Coadjute who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy.
The cost of these checks is £54 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required.
This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Coadjute, and is non-refundable.
We will receive some of the fee taken by Coadjute to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks. EPC rating: E.
