Behind the unaltered elegance of an impressive double-bay fronted Victorian facade lies a four-bedroom home of dramatic volume, light and versatility. It has been extended and updated to a liberating design whilst sympathetically preserving and restoring a wealth of original features. Set within the Pontcanna Conservation Area, it is located seconds from the picturesque Sophia Gardens and all that Pontcanna has to offer.

The house has been the subject of a comprehensive renovation in recent months; most significantly it has been extended into the back garden to create an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining room, bathed in natural light.

Entry is through a front garden with original quarry-tiled path. An entrance hall leads on from the sheltered porch, with the bay-fronted lounge immediately to the left and open to the colourful family room, with wood-burner stove, on-trend decor, eclectic range of wall and pendant lights and a sweeping view through the kitchen out to the garden. To the right is the inner-lobby with access to cloakroom and coal-chute cellar.

The original pine flooring, laid in 1892, extends through the reception spaces, becoming micro-cement with underfloor heating in the contemporary kitchen. This space has been cleverly designed to provide soaring volume and masses of light from bespoke aluminium doors and rooflights overhead.

The kitchen is arranged around a long kitchen island with quartz worktop, five-ring gas hob and ceiling mounted extractor, with a range of integral AEG appliances, Samsung American fridge freezer, LEC wine cooler and Insinkerator instant hot water tap.

The south-facing garden has been brilliantly landscaped with raised tiled-patio area, flower border, electric car charging point and block-paved drive accessed via electric roller shutter.

A staircase ascends to the remodelled first floor landing, now bathed in natural light via the apex level skylights and strategically placed LED lights. Utility cupboard housing Worcester gas boiler and washing machine & drier.

Three double bedrooms occupy the first floor with the stylish shower room and family bathroom including roll-top bathtub, both with a top' specification finish.

The second floor is arranged with one bedroom with feature exposed brick chimney breast, plenty of eaves storage and contemporary style en-suite shower room.

This spectacular home is within close walking distance of the city centre, taff trail, parkland and some of the best cafes, eateries and pubs found anywhere in the city.
