Africa Gardens, Cardiff

Nestled in the highly desirable Africa Gardens, Cardiff, this elegant bay fronted terrace house exudes character and charm. Retaining a wealth of period features, the property boasts traditional fireplaces, beautiful original tiled and wooden flooring, picture rails and exquisite stained glass doors. Tastefully modernised to offer a harmonious blend of original style and contemporary living, the home is presented immaculately, with a warm colour palette and an abundance of natural light throughout.

The Tour:
As you step into the entrance porch, you are welcomed into a traditional hallway featuring period flooring and stairs rising to the first floor. The ground floor offers two spacious reception rooms, a convenient cloakroom, and a generously sized kitchen/dining room with doors leading out to the rear garden.

On the first floor, you’ll find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, along with a guest Heritage-style en suite with a roll-top bathtub and a stylish separate shower room off the landing. The second floor features a large loft conversion, offering two distinct areas — a bedroom and a dressing room that could easily double as a home office. There is also a modern en suite shower room, with potential to combine both spaces within the loft into a large, open-plan bedroom if preferred.

Outside:
The low-maintenance, landscaped rear garden provides a peaceful outdoor retreat, with storage space and rear lane access via a gate.
