Gelliwion Road, Maesycoed, Pontypridd, CF37 1EZ

James Douglas is thrilled to welcome this exceptional three-double-bedroom semi-detached character home to the market.

Dating back to 1875, this remarkable freehold residence was originally known as Gelliwion Cottages and is believed to be one of the first two homes ever built in Maesycoed.

Later renamed Fan Cottages, the property is closely associated with the area's industrial heritage, having historically accommodated employees of the nearby Fan House, which served the Maritime Colliery.

Being offered to the market for the first time in almost 50 years, this is a rare opportunity to own an important piece of Pontypridd's history.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this beautifully extended home seamlessly blends period charm with modern family living.

Original features, including a stunning feature fireplace, bespoke stained-glass fanlight and the cosy character of the original cottage, complement the light-filled wrap-around extension, creating a fantastic balance between traditional and contemporary living.

Benefitting from UPVC double glazing, a Worcester combination boiler, three detached garages/outbuildings, off-road parking and a ground floor WC together with a spacious first-floor bathroom, the property occupies an exceptionally generous plot that is rarely found.

The current owners have also received planning advice suggesting there is potential for a detached dwelling to the western side of the property, subject to the necessary planning consents, while previously approved (now lapsed) planning permission for a loft conversion highlights the excellent potential to create a fourth or even fifth bedroom.

The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, a charming sitting room centred around the original feature fireplace, a superb open-plan living, kitchen and dining room, utility room and downstairs WC.

To the first floor are three generous double bedrooms, a spacious four-piece bathroom and access to two loft spaces.

Adding to the quality of the home, the kitchen, utility room, downstairs WC and family bathroom are all beautifully finished with natural stone and marble wall and floor tiles, showcasing the high standard of craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout.

Externally, the property is equally impressive. The south-east facing gardens enjoy sunshine throughout the day and offer a peaceful, semi-rural setting on the edge of woodland.

Beautifully landscaped with two patio seating areas, established lawns, decorative chippings, mature trees and colourful shrubbery, the gardens enjoy spectacular far-reaching countryside views and provide the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining.

Multiple access points, together with three detached garages and ample parking, further enhance the versatility of this outstanding home.

Steeped in local history yet perfectly suited to modern family life, this truly unique property offers character, generous living space, exciting future potential and one of the most impressive plots in the area.

Having remained in the same ownership for almost half a century, opportunities to acquire homes of this calibre are exceptionally rare.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this remarkable home has to offer.
