East Rise, Cardiff

Set along a quiet cul-de-sac in the leafy northern reaches of Cardiff, this detached 1950s home on East Rise has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully extended to create a refined yet welcoming family residence. Its handsome red-brick façade opens into interiors that combine period charm with carefully considered design. Original parquet floors, crafted joinery, and soft neutral tones form a thread of character throughout, balanced by bespoke features that speak to the home’s quality and care.

At its heart lies a bespoke kitchen by Alexander Bullock, finished with Mandarin Stone marble flooring, granite worktops, and Fired Earth tiles. The craftsmanship continues through the pantry and utility, while the light-filled extension, framed by Crittall styled bifold and French doors, offers a calm, contemporary living space centred around a limestone fireplace and Mendip Loxton stove. Upstairs, four beautifully proportioned bedrooms include an elegant guest suite with Burlington fixtures and fine detailing, continuing the home’s understated sense of luxury.

Outside, landscaped gardens wrap around the property, offering private areas for relaxation and entertaining, with established trees, composite decking, and a detached garage.

Llanishen and Lisvane are two of Cardiff’s most desirable suburbs, celebrated for their excellent schools, independent shops, and vibrant community atmosphere. The area is bordered by green spaces such as Llanishen Reservoir and Parc Cefn Onn, offering tranquil walks and outdoor pursuits. Excellent transport links connect to Cardiff city centre in minutes, with Llanishen train station and the M4 nearby for easy commuting.
