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 fully detached three-bedroom home set on an exceptional wraparound plot in the ever-popular CF5 area.
With two driveways, two single garages and generous living space throughout, this unique property offers space, privacy and outstanding potential.
Approached via a bricked driveway and matching footpath, the property makes an immediate impression.
The spacious entrance hallway provides access to the lounge, kitchen, downstairs WC and staircase to the first floor.
The living room is particularly generous, filled with natural light from a large front window and additional side window.
The opening through to the dining room enhances the sense of space, creating a flowing reception area ideal for family life and entertaining.
The characterful 1970s stone fireplace and chimney breast remain in excellent condition and could be reimagined into a striking contemporary media wall.
The dining room enjoys further side windows and patio doors flanked by glazing, opening directly onto the garden.
The kitchen, while cosmetically dated, has been meticulously maintained and offers ample units, integrated hob with extractor, built-in oven, space for white goods and two windows allowing natural light to pour in.
A door provides direct access to the side and rear garden.
Upstairs, a bright and airy landing leads to two spacious double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in wardrobes, and a generous single bedroom also with fitted storage.
The family bathroom features a four-piece suite comprising a large corner bath, wash hand basin, WC and separate walk-in shower. Externally, the property truly excels.
The substantial wraparound garden provides multiple patio areas, mature conifer trees, established shrubs and access to both single garages.
The dual driveways and separate garage access offer flexibility for multi-vehicle households, storage or potential workshop use.
The home benefits from UPVC double glazing throughout and a modern Worcester boiler, giving buyers confidence in the fundamentals while offering scope for cosmetic modernisation to suit individual taste.
Perfectly positioned in the sought-after CF5 area, the property is conveniently located for local amenities along Cowbridge Road West, with a variety of shops, cafes and supermarkets nearby.
Excellent transport links provide easy access into Cardiff City Centre, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor, making it ideal for commuters.
The area is well served by reputable schools including Ysgol Gymraeg Treganna, Cantonian High School and Radyr Comprehensive School, further enhancing its appeal as a long-term family home.
Please note the property is registered under two separate titles. One title relates to a small section of land upon which one of the garages is situated.
Upon completion, both titles will transfer together as part of the sale, ensuring the purchaser acquires full ownership of the house and associated land in its entirety.
Homes offering this level of plot size, parking and potential in such a desirable location rarely come to market.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, setting and opportunity on offer.
