RARE CHANCE FOR A DES RES

WALKING up Cardiff’s Ty-Gwyn Avenue, one of the first things to strike you is the tranquillity of it all.

With its row of freshly-cut shrubbery and long driveways winding up to its houses, this secluded street offers all the privacy a family could wish for, while also being only a stone’s throw from schools, shops and universities.

Located in the gorgeous Penylan district, Ty-Gwyn Avenue is one of the most in-demand roads in Cardiff.

The street was even named Wales’ most expensive place to live by property website Zoopla a few years back, with house prices in the area regularly fetching into the millions.

With so much demand meaning properties in this area rarely change hands, it’s no surprise to see the £1.65m price tag on this must-see house on the street.

On offer is a large seven-bedroom family home set back off the street with its own private gated entrance.

The property is set over three floors and offers around 5,000 sq ft of accommodation with a large area for parking and planning agreed for a detached garage.

The top floor family area and master bedroom of the property have stunning views across the Cardiff skyline, where you’ll be able to survey the whole city while reading a book or relaxing with your morning coffee.

The property was built in around 1977 and is described as being an ideal purchase for a buyer or family looking to put their own stamp on a family home in Cardiff.

Look around each room of the property, you’ll be struck by both their size and their high ceilings, which offer the potential to add further size and value.

The property benefits further from a private enclosed rear garden offering plenty of room for play, fun or a bit of relaxation when the sun comes out.

There is a garage on the ground floor and considerable parking space to accommodate up to 10 cars – plenty of room for a busy family with some added room to spare, while there are also four bathrooms and four receptions in the property.

One of the most affluent districts in Cardiff, Penylan is a homely and spacious area with many sought-after amenities on its doorstep.

Just a stone’s throw away you’ll find local schools such as Marlborough Primary School, historic sites like Penylan Quarry and a host of local shops and supermarkets in the near vicinity.

Those who like fresh air, running or simply hearing the birds sing will be right at home here.

Ty Gwyn Avenue is situated among some of the best green spaces in Cardiff, and is a short walk from the beautiful Roath Park.

Having been built in the 1970s, the property is lacking original features and needs some investment, but its exclusive location and potential make it an attractive proposition for any individual or family looking to base themselves in one of the most indemand city areas.

Other features of the house include a wide receiving hallway, and a large family kitchen.

There is also a gym on the ground floor, offering all the space you need for whatever your way of keeping fit it, whether it be a treadmill, cross-trainer, weights rack or punching bag.

The first floor has five double bedrooms and three bathrooms, and the top floor has a further two bedrooms with master en-suite and an additional family area.

Though the property is a perfect candidate for investment, there is additional planning submitted for four luxury townhouses on the site, meaning there is considerable potential for development of the property according to your own tastes.
