Bristol Terrace, Main Road, Cardiff, CF15

 

A charming two-bedroom stone cottage nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Gwaelod-y-Garth, this beautifully renovated home perfectly blends traditional character with contemporary comfort. Ideal for a first-time buyer or someone looking to downsize, 5 Bristol Terrace offers a slice of idyllic village life within easy reach of Cardiff and the surrounding countryside.

Lovingly restored from top to bottom, the property has been completely transformed while retaining its charming period appeal. Every detail has been considered — from the new electrics, central heating, and windows to the stylish new kitchen and bathroom. Step through the stable door into the inviting lounge, where a striking exposed stone wall and fireplace create a warm, rustic focal point. A window to the front floods the room with natural light, and the deep sill forms a perfect window seat, a quintessentially cottage-core touch that invites you to curl up with a book and a cup of tea.

A door leads through to the kitchen, which has been tastefully refitted with pale grey shaker-style units and solid wood worktops, offering a timeless balance of charm and practicality. Modern integrated appliances include a fridge-freezer, electric oven, and four-burner gas hob with extractor, while space and plumbing are provided for a washing machine. The layout has been thoughtfully designed for everyday living, providing ample storage and workspace while maintaining a homely, welcoming feel.

From the kitchen, a door opens into the generous conservatory - a versatile space with central heating that can be enjoyed year-round. Whether used as a dining area, garden room, or cosy reading nook, it offers a wonderful connection to the outdoors. From here, steps lead up to an elevated patio where you can sit and soak in panoramic countryside views across the valley, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine as the sun sets over the hills.

The original stone spiral staircase rises from the lounge to the first floor, where the layout has been cleverly reconfigured to provide two comfortable bedrooms. The main bedroom is a charming double with built-in wardrobes, while the second bedroom makes an ideal child’s room, guest space, or home office. The bathroom has been fully modernised with a sleek white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, vanity wash hand basin, and WC, all complemented by contemporary tiling and finishes.

The landing provides access to the boarded loft via a pulldown ladder, which offers ample storage and easy access to the newly fitted combi boiler.

Outside, the two-storey garage offers excellent storage and, subject to the necessary permissions, fantastic potential for conversion into additional accommodation, a home office, or studio space.

Gwaelod-y-Garth itself is a gem of a village, tucked beneath the wooded slopes of the Garth Mountain and known for its friendly, close-knit community. Village life centres around the much-loved Gwaelod-y-Garth Inn, a traditional pub serving great food and local ales, a welcoming place to gather with friends and neighbours. The local primary school enjoys an excellent reputation, making this a superb location for young families. For those who love the outdoors, the surrounding area offers countless walks and cycle routes, from gentle riverside strolls along the Taff Trail to more adventurous climbs up the Garth Mountain with its breath taking views across Cardiff and the Vale.

Despite its rural charm, Gwaelod-y-Garth is superbly connected. The nearby village of Taff’s Well offers train links into Cardiff and beyond, while the A470 provides easy access to the city centre, the M4, and North Cardiff suburbs. This blend of countryside tranquillity and urban convenience makes 5 Bristol Terrace a truly enviable place to call home.

This delightful property has been in the same family for many decades, and its thoughtful renovation ensures it’s ready for a new chapter. With no onward chain, it’s a rare opportunity to purchase a picture-perfect home in one of South Wales’s most desirable village locations - a home where heritage, community, and lifestyle come together beautifully.
