Introducing a charming and characterful five - bedroom semi - detached home,
situated on the highly desirable Waun y Groes Avenue in the leafy suburb of
Rhiwbina. This exceptional property sits on a sunny south facing plot and
presents an unrivalled opportunity for families seeking an idyllic blend of
traditional charm and modern living.
“We will have lived there for 29 years this August. We fell in love with the
original features such as the stained glass in the front door and the door to
the kitchen. Moving from a modern house it really gave the place character. I
fell in love as soon as I walked through the front door, we loved the sociable
space. Another factor was the size of the two bedrooms on the top floor, it
meant that our daughters, who were 7 and 5 at the time, had an equal amount of
space so no argument about bedroom size!”
The property is located within the increasingly popular North Cardiff suburb
of Rhiwbina. Affectionately known by locals as ‘The Village’, Rhiwbina has
become popular with both families and downsizers alike due to the excellent
schools, vibrant community and wonderful countryside on its doorstep. Together
with the superb array of independent shops, cafes and other businesses, it’s
not hard to see why it’s become one of the most sought after postcodes in
Cardiff.
“Our neighbours are great, there was a lovely community feeling during
lockdown with a supportive WhatsApp group. We have had two street parties for
the Jubilee and Coronation and everyone looks out for each other, but not
intrusively! We are attached to a young family with two boys in primary school
and to the other side is a mature couple. ”
As you arrive at the property, you will be immediately captivated by the
original front door with stained glass panels. The entrance hall is bright and
welcoming, your eyes are guided to another beautiful door with ornate stained
glass that leads into the open plan family kitchen. A door to the left opens
into the first reception room.
With a large bay window looking out over the quiet street, this spacious
lounge is wonderfully bright thanks to an abundance of natural light. A gas
fireplace with stone surround provides an attractive focal point and features
such as the original picture rails and wood block flooring (currently beneath
carpet) help add to the character of the room. An arched opening takes you
seamlessly into the second reception which is currently used as the dining
room. The fresh, light décor of the lounge continues into this space as do the
original features. There’s ample room for the whole family to gather and enjoy
Mum’s Sunday roast and the addition of double doors to the open plan kitchen
make this space even more versatile. Open to create a fabulous social space
for entertaining and family gatherings, close them for a cosier setting,
perfect for evenings and relaxing in front of the TV.
“The house is a great social space, we have held many celebrations from 18th
birthday parties to our parents Golden Wedding anniversary party. It
comfortably held between 50 and 60 people. ”
The heart of the home is the open plan family kitchen, which has been
tastefully designed to cater to the needs of modern family life. Complete with
a stylish kitchen island and breakfast bar. The ideal spot for friends to
perch and enjoy a drink or for the kids to do their homework while you rustle
up your famous chilli con carne!
“Our favourite room is the back kitchen/ family space. It’s where everyone
gathers on social occasions chatting and mingling. Also, on a warm day being
able to open the doors and extend the house into the garden is fabulous. ”
A range of base and wall units offer plenty of storage for all your gadget and
gizmos, keeping your worktops clear and clutter free. Integrated appliances
include fridge - freezer, wine cooler, double oven and induction hob with
extractor over. There’s also space and plumbing for a washing machine and
dishwasher.
As you head back towards the hallway there’s ample room for a breakfast table,
desk or dresser. The space also offers the potential to easily create a
separate Utility and W/C if required.
Upstairs, the property offers five bedrooms set over two floors. To the first
floor you’ll find two generous double rooms and a single. The first of the
doubles, currently used as the master, is located at the front of the property
and benefits from a lovely bay window with stained glass. Built in wardrobes
offer ample storage and there’s plenty of space to accommodate a king - side
bed. The second double looks out over the rear gardens and beyond to Hill
Snook Park. The addition of an en - suite shower room makes this an ideal guest
room but would equally suit a teenager.
The single bedroom is situated at the front of the property and is perfectly
proportioned for an office or nursery.
The modern family bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a white suite
comprising ‘P’ shaped bath with rainfall shower over, low level W/C and a
vanity wash hand basin with storage to hide away all your lotions and potions!
Continuing to the second floor you’ll find another two double bedrooms. Both
are of generous proportions but the slightly larger of the two looks out to
the rear and over the park. Built in wardrobes provide excellent storage.
Across the landing the final bedroom benefits from views towards Caerphilly
Mountain.
This fabulous family home continues to impress as we head outside. Enjoying
beautifully manicured south facing gardens that offer something for everyone.
Whether it’s a family BBQ or an evening drink with friends, this garden is
perfect for entertaining. If you fancy something a bit quieter you can lose
yourself in a good book under the dappled shade of a tree or soaking up the
sun on the raised desk.
“We love using the two deck areas for both barbecuing and relaxing, both are
great at different times of the day. We have spent many an evening with a
glass of wine and a book on the lower deck. ”
The garage, with up and over door, benefits from power as well as a side door
to garden. A gate leads to the side of the property and the drive providing
ample off road parking.
Don't miss the opportunity to view this exquisite family home in Rhiwbina,
Cardiff - a truly exceptional blend of period charm and contemporary living.
“We will miss being within a ten minute stroll of the village, three
supermarkets, train station which goes into Cardiff Bay, and the number 27 bus
which runs from Caerphilly Road into the centre every ten/ fifteen minutes.
Also looking out at the oak trees in Hill Snook Park and watching the seasons
change is something we will miss. ”
