Positioned on the ever-popular Gilwern Crescent in Llanishen, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property that has been cherished by the same family for generations. With generous room proportions, an exceptionally large rear garden and huge scope to modernise or extend (subject to planning), this is a home brimming with possibility.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three genuine double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
While the property would benefit from modernisation, neighbouring homes demonstrate the exciting potential available, with examples of side, rear and loft extensions (subject to necessary permissions), allowing buyers to truly create a long-term family home.

One of the standout features is the impressive rear garden — a fantastic space for families, entertaining or future landscaping projects. The garden is accessed via the lounge, dining room and utility area, with double doors from both the lounge and dining room opening onto a patio seating area. Steps lead down to a generous lawn, and the large glazed doors flood the home with natural light, enhancing the sense of space throughout.
