Set back from the road, the property enjoys a commanding presence and a sense of privacy, making it ideal for family living and entertaining alike. Retaining the elegance of its period origins while providing generous proportions, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished family home in a highly sought-after Cyncoed location. 

The property is entered through solid wooden double doors into a generous porch showcasing original features including tiled flooring, wood panelling, and striking stained glass windows, immediately reflecting the craftsmanship of its era. 

From here, the home opens into a truly grand entrance hall, featuring decorative terracotta floor tiles, a traditional tiled fireplace, original plate rack, and ornate coving, creating an impressive and welcoming first impression. 

The cloakroom/W.C. is fitted with a low-level W.C. and wash hand basin.

The heart of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room, flooded with natural light and sympathetically designed to complement the property's heritage. It features a classic shaker-style kitchen with base and eye-level cupboards, quartz worktops, a large central island, and a range of built-in appliances. Original features include a floor-to-ceiling wooden dresser, a traditional sheila maid, and a bell box-an internal communication system once used by staff to identify which room required service.
