Fidlas Road, Llanishen, Cardiff, CF14

Primrose Cottage, 170 Fidlas Road, is a much loved family home that has been cherished for many years and now comes to the market with the significant advantage of no onward chain. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached residence on one of Llanishen’s most desirable roads, combining warmth, character and generous living space with a location that places everyday amenities, excellent schools and transport links quite literally on your doorstep.

From the moment you arrive, Primrose Cottage makes an immediate impression. Set back behind a generous frontage, the property enjoys a sense of privacy and presence that is increasingly hard to find. Ample off-road parking is provided to the front, complemented by a garage that offers further secure storage or parking. The overall plot has been thoughtfully arranged to remain low maintenance while still offering outdoor space that feels established and mature, perfectly suiting both busy family life and those looking for ease of upkeep.

Stepping inside, the welcoming atmosphere is instantly apparent. The proportions throughout are generous, and there is a natural flow that makes the house feel both practical and inviting. This is a home that has evolved around family life, with spaces that work effortlessly for everyday living while also rising to the occasion when entertaining friends and relatives.

At the heart of the property lies the outstanding open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, extending to over 26 feet in length. This is a truly impressive room and very much the social hub of the home. Designed to bring people together, it offers ample space for relaxed family meals, homework at the table, informal gatherings or larger celebrations. The kitchen area is well laid out, providing extensive work surfaces and storage, while the open connection to the living and dining areas ensures that no one ever feels separated from the conversation. Large windows and doors allow natural light to pour in, enhancing the sense of space and creating a bright, uplifting environment throughout the day.

Supporting the kitchen perfectly is a separate utility room, discreetly positioned to keep the practicalities of daily life neatly out of sight. This additional space is ideal for laundry appliances, coats, shoes and household essentials, helping to keep the main living areas clutter free and calm.

The flexibility of the accommodation continues across the rest of the ground floor and into the upper levels, with four to five well proportioned bedrooms offering versatility for growing families, guests or those working from home. One of the bedrooms benefits from a luxurious en-suite, creating a private retreat that feels removed from the busier parts of the house. The remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom, finished to a high standard and designed to comfortably accommodate the demands of modern family living.

Throughout the property there is a strong sense of care and maintenance, reflecting the pride taken by the current owners over many years. Storage has been thoughtfully considered, ensuring that the home remains functional as well as attractive. There is also clear potential for future customisation, whether that involves adapting the layout, extending subject to the necessary consents, or simply putting your own stamp on the existing spaces over time.

The outside space continues the theme of privacy and ease. The gardens are well established yet deliberately manageable, making them ideal for those who enjoy outdoor space without the burden of intensive upkeep. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee, a summer barbecue or a safe place for children to play, the outdoor areas provide a pleasant extension of the living space within.

The location of Primrose Cottage is, quite simply, exceptional. Fidlas Road is one of Llanishen’s most sought-after addresses, known for its attractive homes, mature surroundings and strong sense of community. The property is very close to Llanishen Village, allowing you to enjoy the convenience of local shops, cafés and everyday amenities within easy walking distance. The village has retained a welcoming, independent feel while offering everything needed for daily life, from grocery shopping to relaxed socialising.

For families, the educational provision is a major draw. The property falls within the highly regarded catchment areas for Coed Glas Primary School and Llanishen High School, both of which are consistently popular choices. In addition, there is access to excellent Welsh-medium education, including Ysgol Y Wern Primary and Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glan Taf Secondary School, making this an ideal location for families seeking a range of educational options.

Transport links are another standout feature. Llanishen train station and Ty Glas train station are both within walking distance, providing convenient rail connections into Cardiff and beyond. For those who commute by car, the M4 motorway is easily accessible, offering direct routes towards Swansea, Bristol and the wider motorway network. This balance of connectivity and community makes Llanishen an enduringly popular place to live.

Beyond practicality, the area offers a lifestyle that is hard to match. Green spaces, parks and leisure facilities are close by, while the wider north Cardiff area provides a wealth of recreational opportunities. Whether it’s a stroll through the village, a coffee with friends, or a quick commute into the city centre, everything feels close and easily accessible.

Primrose Cottage is more than just a house; it is a home with a story, warmth and a strong sense of place. Offered with no onward chain, it represents a rare and exciting opportunity to secure a substantial detached property in a prime Llanishen location. With its generous accommodation, superb open-plan living space, excellent schools and outstanding transport links, this is a home perfectly suited to modern family life and ready to welcome its next chapter.

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.
