This six-bedroom Victorian townhouse occupies an enviable position on Cathedral Road, the beautiful tree-lined street running parallel to the picturesque parkland that is Sophia Gardens.

Boasting a voluminous level of living space unfolding over three storeys, this stunning period home retains a wealth of aesthetically-pleasing features and benefits from a generous-sized rear garden with south-westerly aspect and double-garage, primed for conversion to a detached coach-house (subject to obtaining the correct planning consent).

The front door opens into the hallway with ornate cornicing and direct access to basement level. The ground floor contains the primary living spaces, which lie to the immediate right of the entrance hall. High ceilings create a wonderful sense of space and volume in the main, bay-fronted living room room. Immediately behind the reception is the kitchen-dining room, with a vast range of solid wood units, complemented by retro-floor tiles. The kitchen leads to the internal lobby with utility area, ground-floor shower room and the garden room.

The kitchen is fitted with an array of walnut-coloured shaker-style units with granite worktops and focal-point range-cooker. Ample space is offered for a large family-dining table . The utility room is located at the rear of the house and boasts throw-back features including the terracotta quarry-tiled floor and exposed-brick chimney breast. Access is given to the rear garden and cloakroom.

An impressive Victorian staircase leads up to a split-level landing, with the full-width Master Bedroom doubles-up as a first-floor lounge. The rest of the first floor is made up of two double bedroom, bathroom with dressing area plus a kitchenette.

The upper storey of the house is home to a further two double-bedrooms and adjoining shower suite.

Outside, the charming front-garden is laid with decorative stones and an array of mature shrubs. The aforementioned rear garden offers a raised patio, ideal for outdoor-dining, and stepping stone pathway leading to the detached garage.

The neighbourhood is renowned for its charming, tree-lined Victorian terraces. Beautifully kept green spaces can be found at nearby Sophia Gardens and Pontcanna Fields. Nearby Pontcanna Street offers a wealth of cafes and restaurants including Cafe Brava, Milkwood & Thomas.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
