6 bed detached house for sale

Blaengwynlais, Cardiff CF83

Occupying a wonderfully private position surrounded by mature gardens and woodland, this exceptional detached home has evolved from a historic circa mid 1800's stone cottage into a beautifully balanced six-bedroom family residence. Extended thoughtfully over the years, it now offers generous and highly versatile accommodation while remaining entirely in keeping with its semi-rural surroundings. Character features, welcoming reception rooms and carefully framed views across the gardens combine to create a home that feels both elegant and deeply connected to its landscape.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the accommodation lends itself to growing families, multi-generational living or those seeking dedicated space to work from home. A series of interconnecting reception rooms provides areas for entertaining and everyday family life, while the separate bedroom suite above the garage offers excellent guest accommodation or independent living. Throughout the home, natural light and garden views reinforce the sense of peace and privacy.

The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Beautifully established over many years, they unfold across a series of lawns, terraces, mature planting and woodland inspired pathways, creating an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons. A generous paddock adds further versatility, currently home to chickens but equally suited to extending the gardens or, subject to the necessary planning permissions, creating additional outbuildings or workspace.

Despite its idyllic setting, the property is only 1.9 miles from Rhiwbina Village, renowned for its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. Excellent primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, while nearby walking routes, woodland and open countryside provide endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Convenient access to the A470 and M4 allows straightforward travel into Cardiff city centre.
