LIVE LIKE A MILLIONAIRE
EVER wanted to take a peek into one of the most exclusive properties in Cardiff? In a city where houses fetching in excess of a million pounds is the exception, not the rule, being able to explore one of these rare finds is undoubtedly exciting.
Almost palatial in its scope, this brand-new “executive” property in Llandennis Avenue comes with oodles of space, stylish and simplistic modern design, and tasteful design flair added by the architect.
If you want it, it’s on the market with estate agents Kelvin Francis for £1.8 million.
As soon as you enter the door, you are immediately struck by its grand scale.
The hallway is impressive – with double glazed sliding doors giving access to the rear garden, oak staircase and doors, under-stairs storage cupboard, porcelain floor tiling, and etched internal window through to the kitchen.
Though it may be large, you’ll not want for cosiness either - there is zonal under-floor heating throughout the ground floor to keep your toes warm in those colder months.
The kitchen is described as being an impressive, light room, with windows to the side and rear.
There is also easy access to the garden via French doors and sliding patio doors.
Speaking of the garden, it is described as ‘a large enclosed lawned area with freshly planted boundary trees and large section laid to lawn, a quality flagstone-style stone patio running the full width offering an abundance of relaxation areas and al-fresco dining, stylish chrome external lighting.’
The kitchen also has a central island with a large silestone quartz worktop and an abundance of storage and soft close cupboards, drawers and deeppan drawers. There is also a brand new fitted five-burner ceramic hob with an integrated wide cooker hood.
If you take the stairs to the first floor, you will be greeted with six large double bedrooms with five bathrooms, and a large dressing room to the main bedroom.
The landing itself is impressive, with quality oak and contemporary glazed balustrade, central window overlooking the rear garden, spacious wide central landing with stylish spotlights, coved ceiling and moulded skirting boards with matching door surrounds.
If this property caught your eye, you’re in welcome company.
Llandennis Avenue is one of around four or five well-known roads in north Cardiff where properties regularly go for big money.
The area encompassing Cyncoed Road, Cefncoed Road, Hollybush Road and Llandennis Avenue itself is well known for its large, sprawling plots of land and lavish, modern housing.
The area is known for its particularly large plots, which means that this property is surrounded by similarly elegant builds.
The estate agent listing the property, Kelvin Francis, stated that properties in the area can sell in excess of £2 million due to its well known reputation for exclusivity.
The house next door to this one was on the market for £2.3 million.
The estate agent also mentioned that to see so many properties in this one small area sell in excess of £2 million is rare to see in Wales, let alone just Cardiff.
There are two other properties currently on the market on the road, a situation which is described as being a bit of a rarity.
Along the road, a plot of land alone sold for £1.6 million (the plot of land did originally have a house on it, but the buyer chose to build their own property in its place).
Speaking of which, the plot of land the house is located on is also luxurious. Luscious and green with trees, impeccable lawn, and big, grand gates, the property is an island of greenery and calm away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Basically, when you think of ‘highend’ Cardiff, Llandennis Avenue is the sort of picture which comes to mind.
As per the owner’s brief, the architectural design of the property is modern, but with as much character as possible. There are features such as high level skirting boards, oak finishes internally, and the windows, which are bay and separated by concrete mullions.
