Cwm Gwynlais, Tongwynlais, CF15

Welcome to Cwm Gwynlais – A Detached Home Full of Charm and Practicality

Tucked away in the picturesque and desirable village of Tongwynlais, this renovated three-bedroom detached property offers the perfect balance of traditional charm and modern convenience. With no onward chain, it’s ready to move into immediately.

Thoughtful Design from Front to Back

The property immediately impresses with its distinctive yellow brick façade, traditional tiled roof, and dark painted trim, all framed by a neatly maintained front garden. A driveway offers ample space for off-road parking and leads directly to an integrated single garage – complete with electric lighting and an up-and-over door.

A side gate allows for convenient access to the enclosed rear garden, making this an ideal home for families or pet owners.

Ground Floor Living – Space to Relax and Entertain

Step inside to find a versatile layout. The main lounge is warm and inviting, complete with a gas fireplace, perfect for cooler evenings. A separate sitting room provides a more private space for reading, working from home, or children’s play.

The dedicated dining room is ideal for hosting, with a clear view into the kitchen. This well-planned flow makes both everyday life and entertaining easy.

Kitchen – Like New and Ready to Use

Installed in 2015 and never used, the modern Sigma kitchen feels brand new. It features handleless cabinets in a sleek, contemporary finish, dark countertops, and a stainless steel extractor hood. A light grey brick-style tiled splashback brings subtle character, and recessed spotlights add warmth and sophistication.

There’s also a handy cloakroom off the inner hallway – great for guests or young families.

Upstairs – Comfortable Bedrooms and Modern Bathrooms

The first floor hosts three bedrooms, each with a calm, neutral décor. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room, offering added privacy and convenience. The other two bedrooms are both generously sized, ideal for children, guests, or a home office setup.

A family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, finished to a clean and modern standard.

Garden – Private, Sunny and Low Maintenance

The south-west facing rear garden is perfect for enjoying sunny afternoons and al fresco dining. Designed to be both attractive and easy to maintain, it features a paved patio area, artificial turf, and stepping stones, all bordered by wooden fencing and mature greenery.

There’s also an outdoor water tap and external electrical socket, making gardening and outdoor entertaining a breeze.

Modern Comforts and Upgrades

This home has been thoughtfully updated to ensure peace of mind for the next owner. The fuse board was upgraded in 2020, and the electrical system includes a spur ready for electric car charging – a future-proof feature in today’s market. There is also excellent potential to extend above the garage (subject to planning), as many neighbouring homes have already done, giving future owners the opportunity to add even more space and value.
