The Ground Floor

From the outside, Somerset Street looks like a typical Victorian terrace. Inside, it's a different story. The living room is a genuinely large space — high ceilinged, well lit, and anchored by a double fireplace with bespoke shelving. It's the kind of room that works for everything: evenings in, dinner parties, and Sunday mornings. New LVT flooring in a classic herringbone pattern runs through this room, picked to sit well with the age and character of the house. The whole house has been stylishly decorated, and this beautiful room is an excellent example of the thoughtful design that's been lavished on it.

The second reception room works equally well as a dining room, second sitting room, playroom or home office, and has the original terracotta floor tiles and is painted in uplifting green. The kitchen has a large window to the side and a door to the garden. With plenty of cupboards and worktop space it's both practical and homely.

The practical side of the house has been thoroughly addressed: brand new fusebox, full damp proofing, new radiators downstairs, and a boiler that's been significantly updated. The aspect of the house is worth mentioning too — it stays cool through summer and holds warmth in winter while the rear garden is a sunny haven.

The First Floor

Upstairs there are two proper double bedrooms and a third that works well as a single, a nursery or a dedicated home office. The principal bedroom is spacious and spans the whole front of the house. With two large windows pouring in natural light, a wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes and original floorboards sanded back to their natural beauty, and colour drenched in soothing tones, this is a peaceful and calming retreat. The second bedroom is also large, with a good sized fitted wardrobe and sanded floorboards. A large window overlooks the rear garden. The third bedroom, as already mentioned has great storage and sits quietly at the back of the house.

The bathroom has been recently totally refurbished. It's a large, well-designed room with an oversized bath, a generous shower, and premium fixtures chosen with care. Decorated in a bold, considered way that makes it one of the most enjoyable rooms in the house. The whole upper floor has been decorated in Little Greene and Farrow & Ball paints with the same attention to detail that runs through the rest of the property.

The Outside

At the ack of the house, an easy to maintain rear garden has a sunny aspect, making it the perfect place for alfresco drinks or dining. There are also 2 sheds, one of which has been properly set up with lighting, a power source and an outdoor tap — a ready-made utility space. The front of the house has courtyard and path, siiting neatly on Somerset Street, one of the quieter roads in the area.

The Location

Cardiff Central Station and the Principality Stadium are both a ten-minute walk. Cardiff Bay, Bute Park and Cardiff City Stadium are close. Riverside Market on a Sunday is practically on the doorstep. The Grange pub is a neighbourhood staple, as is the Tramshed. Matsudai Ramen is worth the short walk, and the Grange Pavilion is a genuine community hub. The street is quiet, the neighbours are friendly, and the city centre is close by.
