COTTAGE FULL OF CHARACTER

FOUND in a sought-after location, this elevated cottage is set in stunning grounds that measure up to roughly half an acre. The building in Pentyrch, Cardiff, dates back to the early 1700s and has managed to retain plenty of original charm as recent work and extensions have been undertaken with its character in mind.

Currently on the market with Michael Graham Young (MGY), the six-bedroom property has a guide price of £895,000.

Inside the rustic property, you’ll find a reception hallway that leads off to a cottage lounge, dining room, two utility rooms, a sitting room, kitchen and garden room.

The ceramic-tiled kitchen is fitted with bespoke solid oak units and granite work surfaces. There’s also a central island with space to keep a dishwasher, and you’ll also find a five-ring gas hob, an oven, and an integrated fridge/freezer.

Upstairs, you’ll find six bedrooms, with the master bedroom and one other housing an en-suite bathroom each.

There’s also a shower room and an airing cupboard on this floor.

Outside, set in half an acre of stunning grounds, you’ll also find electrically operated wrought-iron gates and a large driveway, which runs into a car port.

Much like the cottage, the estate agents managing this sale, MGY, have seen some recent changes.

And it is looking forward to the rest of 2018, after seeing an “exceptional start” to the year.

After taking a back seat last year, principal Mike Young entered semi-retirement at the end of 2017.

According to MGY, it sold more properties during 2017 than the previous year and overall turnover for the business for 12 months to December 31 was up around 15%.

Director Michelle Bishop said: “It is more than pleasing to see our strategic plans come to fruition.

“We wish Mike all the very best in his semi-retirement as it is his intention to work part-time as a consultant dealing mainly with professional work acting as an expert to solicitors with probate matters and matrimonial proceedings.”
