About
An exceptional three-bedroom duplex apartment, gracefully arranged over the first and second floors of an exclusive period residence, set along the prestigious Cathedral Road in the heart of Pontcanna...
Occupying a position within an elegant and characterful conversion of just four apartments and two townhouses, this beautifully refined home offers both privacy and distinction.
Cathedral Road itself is one of the area's most iconic, tree-lined avenues, leading effortlessly towards the city centre while retaining a peaceful, residential charm.
Having been recently renovated, the apartment effortlessly marries contemporary sophistication with the timeless appeal of its period origins.
The principal living space is a striking open-plan arrangement, where the kitchen, dining and lounge areas flow seamlessly together.
Bathed in natural light from expansive sash windows, including an impressive bay to the lounge, the room exudes both warmth and grandeur, with elevated ceiling heights enhancing the sense of space.
A central kitchen island forms a natural focal point, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, while the sleek, modern kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a range of integrated electric appliances and refined cabinetry that complements the building's character.
The principal bedroom enjoys a delightful outlook across the leafy Cathedral Road and is further enhanced by a recently appointed, designer-inspired en suite shower room, finished to an impeccable standard.
To the upper floor, two further generously proportioned double bedrooms offer built-in storage and are served by a beautifully styled shower room, creating a well-balanced and highly versatile living arrangement.
Externally, the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces within a private rear car park-an increasingly rare and valuable feature in such a prime location.
The property is served by electric heating.
Pontcanna is widely celebrated as one of Cardiff's most desirable districts, renowned for its picturesque streets, vibrant café culture, and independent restaurants and boutiques.
Just moments away lie the expansive green spaces of Bute Park and Llandaff Fields, offering scenic walks along the River Taff and a welcome retreat from city life.
The city centre itself is within comfortable walking distance, making this a truly enviable setting that combines lifestyle, convenience and natural beauty.
