About
Set within a quiet cul de sac in Old St. Mellons, this immaculately presented three bedroom semi detached home has a particularly easy, welcoming feel.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully maintained, with a modern kitchen, generous living spaces, a conservatory and a tiered rear garden combining to create a home that works equally well for everyday life and entertaining.
The ground floor flows naturally from the entrance hall into a comfortable living room, where fitted shutters and a living flame gas fire with limestone surround and granite hearth bring warmth and character.
A broad opening connects with the dining room, creating a sociable arrangement that continues through sliding doors into the conservatory.
Alongside is the modern fitted kitchen, finished with quartz work surfaces and a good complement of integrated appliances.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom, while outside the property benefits from off road parking and a tiered rear garden with patio areas providing plenty of scope for sitting out and entertaining.
Old St. Mellons offers a useful balance between suburban Cardiff and the countryside beyond the city's eastern edge.
Local amenities, shops and everyday services are within easy reach, while St Mellons Church in Wales Primary School is located within Old St. Mellons.
The area is also well placed for access to Newport Road, the A48 and M4, making journeys towards Cardiff city centre, Newport and the wider South Wales road network straightforward.
For time outdoors, the surrounding area offers access to local green spaces and walking routes, giving the location an appealing sense of breathing room while remaining connected to the city.
