Pen y Dre, Rhiwbina, Cardiff, CF14

Located in the heart of the highly desirable and historic Rhiwbina Garden Village, this charming and thoughtfully extended Grade II listed home offers a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of Cardiff’s architectural heritage, while enjoying all the comforts of a modern family lifestyle.

Originally developed in the early 20th century as part of the Garden City movement, Rhiwbina Garden Village is celebrated for its distinctive Arts and Crafts architecture, tree-lined streets, and a strong sense of community that has stood the test of time. It remains one of Cardiff’s most desirable residential areas, offering peaceful surroundings with the convenience of urban living close at hand. The Garden Village was designed to combine the benefits of both town and country living, and homes here are rarely available, especially in such immaculate, move-in-ready condition.

No.10 is a beautiful example, full of original character, yet updated and extended to meet the needs of modern living. The property sits on a popular residential street within easy walking distance of Rhiwbina’s vibrant village centre, where you’ll find a delightful selection of independent cafés, boutique shops and a well-stocked Co-op for daily essentials. Families will appreciate the close proximity to Rhiwbina Library, local parks, and reputable schools. For commuters, Rhiwbina Train Station is just a short stroll away, offering direct services into Cardiff Central and beyond.

From the moment you step inside, the character and warmth of this home are immediately apparent. The original wood block flooring flows from the hallway into both reception rooms, setting a timeless tone. The windows throughout the property are fitted with elegant white shutters, adding both style and privacy.

The first of the two reception rooms is currently used as a snug but would make a charming formal dining room or flexible living space depending on your family’s needs. The second, larger reception room is a real highlight, a beautifully bright main lounge with a large front-facing window that fills the room with natural light and provides picturesque views over the pretty front garden.

To the rear of the home, a generous kitchen extension has created a stunning open-plan space with stone flooring, a range of classic fitted units, and solid wood work surfaces. A ceramic Belfast-style sink is a nod to the home's period roots, while integrated appliances, including a drinks cabinet, offer a contemporary touch. This is a room made for both family life and entertaining. The wooded framed French doors open directly onto the rear garden, leading to a sunny patio, perfect for alfresco dining, morning coffee, or evening drinks. From the kitchen, there’s also a convenient door leading to a downstairs shower room and W/C, ideal for guests or busy family life.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. The master bedroom is a superb size, offering ample space for furniture and a tranquil retreat at the end of the day. The 2nd and 3rd double bedrooms are both well proportioned and make ideal children’s rooms, guest rooms, or a study/home office if required. The family bathroom is in keeping with the home’s classic style, featuring a white suite and elegant roll-top bath, offering a luxurious space to unwind.

One of the standout features of this home is the beautiful, private rear garden. Rarely do properties in such central locations offer outdoor space of this quality. The garden is well-maintained and thoughtfully laid out, with two patio areas perfect for barbecues, family gatherings, or simply enjoying the sunshine. A generous lawn provides plenty of room for play or relaxation, making it ideal for families and garden lovers alike.

To the rear of the property, you’ll find the added benefit of a garage, a valuable feature offering secure storage or parking, accessible via a rear lane. There is also the option to purchase the property without the garage, offering flexibility depending on your preferences.

Throughout the property, original features such as panelled doors, picture rails, and traditional materials have been preserved and respected, while thoughtful updates have brought modern practicality and comfort. This is a true turn-key home, where every detail has been considered, allowing the next owners to move straight in and enjoy.

In summary, 10 Pen y Dre is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character in one of Cardiff’s most beloved locations. With its prime setting in historic Rhiwbina Garden Village, beautifully extended interiors, stylish décor, and practical family features such as a spacious kitchen, multiple receptions, and private gardens, this property offers the best of both worlds, heritage charm and modern living.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this special home has to offer.
