DESCRIPTION
A capacious well designed imposing double fronted detached five bedroom family residence, providing 3300 square feet of living space, and occupying a prime location fronting a select and exclusive close, comprising similar style houses built in 1988 by one of the Bailey Homes brothers to the requirements of a prominent local businessman. This capacious versatile property was constructed to a high specification and its location was reputed at the time, to be the most expensive speculative built houses ever seen in Cardiff. Tucked away with substantial landscaped southerly facing corner gardens this most impressive property is approached via high arched fob operated electronic double gates leading to a particularly large private drive, with parking space for at least 8 vehicles. Extensive improvements have been carried out in recent years by the present owner including the construction of numerous high quality storage outbuildings with a versatile range of uses including a log cabin garage imported from Finland, a stylish contemporary summer house added in 2017, being bespoke in tantalised pine timber approached via composite grey double glazed French doors with matching side screen windows, fully insulated with glass fibre (Rockwool) and enjoying an enviable ambience across the landscaped south facing gardens.

The Property 
Additional parking is provided by means of an integral double garage, (20'7 x 19'6) a large attached carport with up and over door, whilst double doors provide access from the double garage onto a block paved drive which leads directly into the Log Cabin garage. As the property includes undercover parking for 4 cars, some of the garaging space could be converted in to further living space subject to planning permission and if desired.

In recent years the property has been further modernised including new Italian porcelain tiles within the large 25 ft entrance reception hall, a very bespoke 2016 downstairs cloakroom designed and fitted by Taylors Etc with an Italian Laufan white suite, a refurbished open plan kitchen and breakfast room (17' 10" x 10' 1") completed in 2013, with Rationale German fitted units, integrated Neff appliances including two microwave/combination ovens, a fan assisted oven, an integrated larder fridge and a Siemens dishwasher as well as a Neff gas hob. Work surfaces are Corian including a square shaped breakfast bar, and three large velux double glazed windows in addition to a garden window provide ample natural sunlight. The double glazed sun lounge conservatory is accessed from the kitchen and is linked to the sitting room by a further entrance.

The Property 
The gracious ground floor living space also includes a charming lounge (20' 3" x 15' 10") inset with a bespoke Italian marble fireplace with a recent stylish living flame log effect burner, a formal dining room (15'6 x 11'6) and a further generous sitting room (15' 8" x 13' 8"). Other features include a large utility room, a walk-in clothes closet off the entrance hall, and all internal joinery is mahogany hardwood with matching traditional doors with Regency handles, skirting boards, door architraves and an imposing returning spindle balustrade staircase which leads to a gallery landing.

The Property 
There are four further double size bedrooms, and two full size further bathrooms - one being ensuite. A special hidden feature of the first floor accommodation is a sauna room accessed from the family bathroom. Further improvements include extensive landscaping to the gardens completed in 2017, a 10 year NHBC guarantee that was provided for the property when it was constructed in 1988, a sophisticated and fully operational periphery intruder alarm, maintained by ADT with a central dial-up that links to the owners phone, additional roof space insulation 200 mm above the exiting insulation added in 2008 under a RIS government grant, and a new Potterton central heating boiler in 2015 and new Andrews hot water boiler in 2016 both under a British Gas maintenance contract. The heating is linked to a hive system with many radiators featuring thermostatic valves. Wood Close is most exclusive cul de sac positioned just off Lisvane Road, equidistantly placed for access to both Lisvane Village and Llanishen Village, with its local railway station providing fast access to Cardiff city centre. Within easy access there are links on to the M4, one via the Pontprennau Cardiff gate exit and a second within easy driving distance from either Coryton or the University Hospital of Wales linked by the A 48 eastern Avenue. A notable feature is that the property lies within the Cardiff High School catchment, a very popular high school located in Lakeside/Cyncoed.
