Pen Y Dre, Rhiwbina, Cardiff, CF14

Tucked into the heart of Rhiwbina, at the corner of Pen y Dre and Heol Wen, ‘Taliesin’ is an impressively spacious semi-detached home that offers more than just square footage, it offers lifestyle, community, and room for your family to grow. Set within one of Cardiff’s most desirable and family-friendly suburbs, this larger than average five bedroom property blends character, comfort, and potential in equal measure.

From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of privacy and space that sets this home apart. The generous corner plot provides not only two expansive gardens but a feeling of being gently wrapped in greenery. Mature hedges border the wide front lawn, creating a perfect enclosed space for football matches, summer picnics, or simply letting children run free without worry. There's plenty of off-road parking here too and an electric charging point.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a wide, welcoming hallway with wooden floors and a sense of warmth that instantly feels like home. From here, the living spaces open up and invite you in. The principal lounge, once two separate rooms, now forms one superbly sized reception, ideal for large families or those who love to entertain. Picture a relaxed Sunday afternoon here: children playing in one corner, friends chatting over coffee in another, light streaming in from windows that overlook the front garden and the quiet curve of Heol Wen. There's easily space for both seating and a dining area, should you want one large, multifunctional room.

Moving through to the kitchen, the heart of the home opens up beautifully. A timeless shaker-style kitchen in crisp white is paired with warm wood effect counters to give the space a fresh yet homely feel. Integrated appliances include a built-in dishwasher and wine cooler, while the freestanding range cooker complete with a seven-burner gas hob sets the stage for proper family cooking. A feature fireplace with a gas stove anchors the room, offering warmth and atmosphere on cooler evenings. The kitchen flows naturally into a living or dining area, with French doors opening out to the front lawn ideal for al fresco breakfasts or watching the kids play while dinner is on.

Beyond this, a second reception room, currently used as a formal dining space, connects via double doors to the rear deck. Whether you're hosting a summer dinner party or enjoying a quiet glass of wine, this seamless inside-outside connection makes entertaining easy.

A separate utility room sits just off the hallway, matching the kitchen in design and finish, and includes practical storage, sink and drainer, and plumbing for a washing machine. It’s also home to the modern combi boiler and offers direct access to the garden, ideal for muddy boots and school bags. A convenient downstairs W/C rounds off the ground floor.

Upstairs, space continues to impress. There are five true double bedrooms, no box rooms or compromises here. Each room offers enough space for growing children, guests, or even working from home. Two stylish and contemporary shower rooms serve the upstairs level, meaning mornings run more smoothly, even in the busiest of households.

But it’s outside where ‘Taliesin’ really comes into its own. The rear garden is a private, fully enclosed haven, mostly laid to lawn, with several patios offering different spaces to relax, dine, or play. A wide decked area stretches along the back of the house, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. There’s also a large garden room, a real highlight of the property. With bifold doors and additional patio doors opening onto a secluded BBQ area, it currently serves as a games room and bar, but could just as easily be a home office, gym, teen den, or studio. It's a versatile, light-filled space that adapts to your lifestyle.

The current owners have maintained and improved the property with care, creating a warm, welcoming family home. Yet there's still untapped potential here, room to extend or enhance further, should you wish to shape the house to your future needs.

The location, too, is hard to beat. Rhiwbina is one of Cardiff’s most sought after areas, known for its leafy streets, strong sense of community, and village feel. The local high street offers independent shops, cafes, and a library, while parks and playing fields are all nearby. Rhiwbeina Primary School is just a seven-minute walk away, making school runs simple and stress-free. And for commuters, easy access to Cardiff city centre, A470 and M4 ensures you’re always well connected.

 

Anti Money Laundering Regulations

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property as prescribed by the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Coadjute who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £54 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Coadjute, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Coadjute to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
