Heathfield House, St. Brides-Super-Ely, Cardiff

Since acquiring the property in 2022, the current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of enhancement and modernisation, creating a home of remarkable comfort and style. Improvements include the replacement of all external windows and doors, the installation of impressive contemporary French doors to the rear elevation, comprehensive redecoration throughout, and significant landscaping works to both the driveway and gardens. In 2023, the driveway stonework was completely renewed, while the rear garden was transformed with new fencing, elegant stonework and expansive patio areas designed for modern outdoor living.

Reception Rooms

A welcoming entrance hall, finished with beautiful oak flooring, immediately sets the tone for the quality found throughout the home. An impressive oak staircase rises to a galleried first-floor landing, creating a wonderful sense of space and grandeur.

The principal reception spaces have been designed for both family living and entertaining, centred around a striking revolving wood-burning stove that serves both the lounge and dining areas. This unique feature creates a captivating focal point, offering warmth and atmosphere whichever room is being enjoyed.

Additional practical luxury has been introduced through bespoke fitted storage by Hammonds beneath the staircase, featuring soft-close cabinetry and providing excellent concealed storage.

From the living room you can enter the snug which is a particularly charming retreat, bathed in natural light from dual-aspect windows and offering a cosy setting for reading or relaxing beside its own wood-burning stove during the cooler months.

Kitchen & Family Living

The beautifully appointed kitchen combines functionality with timeless design. Light-filled and generously proportioned, it features elegant Corian work surfaces, rich dark-brown wall cabinetry and a substantial central island incorporating cream soft-close drawers and extensive storage.

Integrated appliances include a Neff double oven, induction hob with extractor, Smeg dishwasher and Logic fridge freezer, creating a highly practical and sophisticated culinary space.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room with Hotpoint washing machine, together with a convenient cloakroom located near the rear entrance.

A generous study provides an ideal home-working environment, completing the versatile ground floor accommodation.

Bedroom Accommodation

Arranged around the impressive galleried landing, the bedroom accommodation is bright, spacious and thoughtfully configured.

The principal suite offers a luxurious private sanctuary, generous proportions and an elegant en-suite bathroom. A further en-suite bedroom provides excellent guest accommodation, while the fifth bedroom has been expertly transformed into a stylish dressing room featuring fully mirrored fitted wardrobes.

In total, the property benefits from  five bedrooms, two en-suite shower rooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

Landscaped Gardens & Outdoor Living

Designed with both entertaining and ease of maintenance in mind, the gardens have been extensively landscaped to create a private outdoor haven.

Expansive stone and slab patios provide superb spaces for al fresco dining, summer gatherings and relaxed outdoor living. Artificial lawn areas ensure year-round presentation with minimal upkeep, while a mature hedge boundary and recently installed fencing create a high degree of privacy and seclusion.

External power points and strategically positioned exterior lighting further enhance the functionality and enjoyment of the outdoor spaces.

Garaging & Practical Amenities

The detached garage is fitted with an electrically operated up-and-over door and benefits from lighting and power points, providing secure parking, workshop potential or additional storage.

The property is heated throughout via an oil-fired underfloor heating system, ensuring exceptional comfort and efficiency. The two wood-burning stoves further enhance the warmth and ambience of the home. New carpets were installed across the first floor approximately 18 months ago, complementing the home's immaculate presentation.
