We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home in one of Cardiff’s most desirable residential addresses.
Purchased from new by the same family in May 1970, the property offers generous accommodation, mature gardens, a double garage and excellent scope for sensitive modernisation.
St Fagans Drive was conceived as a modest extension to the historic village, with detached family houses set within generous plots.
Its enduring appeal is reflected in the number of households who remained long after children had grown up and moved away, making opportunities of this kind comparatively rare.
The house extends to approximately 1,738 sq ft (161.5 sq m) and includes two reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/dining room, four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a ground floor cloakroom/WC.
Carefully maintained throughout, with replacement double glazing, an upgraded central heating system, and updated electrical and plumbing systems, it provides an excellent foundation for creating a home of real quality and individuality.
The property has never been extended, offering future owners exceptional flexibility to improve, remodel or enlarge, subject to any necessary consents, while retaining the proportions and character of the original house.
The plot extends to approximately 567 sq m (0.14 acres), with mature gardens to the front, side and rear.
The private south-facing rear garden is bounded in part by an attractive stone wall, with the village hall, church grounds and Plymouth Arms beyond.
St Fagans is one of Cardiff’s most distinctive historic villages, known for its church, village hall, cricket club, Plymouth Arms and nearby National Museum of History.
The nearby Plasdwr development is bringing long-term investment to north-west Cardiff, while St Fagans retains its separate village identity.

Council Tax Band - G Our parents bought this house from new, and my brother and I could not have wished for a better childhood.
St Fagans gave us lifelong friends, cricket, museum days, games on the green in front of the house and later evenings at the Plymouth Arms. It remains part of our dna.
