Description

Set within the historic and picturesque village of Tongwynlais, this beautifully presented semi detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village living at the edge of Cardiff while remaining exceptionally well connected.

Upstairs, three well proportioned bedrooms and a neatly finished bathroom provide comfortable accommodation, with leafy side aspects reinforcing the sense of privacy and calm.

Outside, the gardens are set within 0.24 acres (0.096 hectares) which includes a parcel of land to the front and unfolds across multiple levels offering areas for seating, storage and recreation, while a summer house and double garage add further versatility.
