Doe Close, Penylan, Cardiff

Tucked away within a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Penylan area of Cardiff, this stylish detached coach house presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers and investors alike. Beautifully presented throughout, the property offers well-planned accommodation complemented by an attractive kitchen and contemporary bathroom.

The accommodation is bright and welcoming, centred around an impressive open-plan living and dining room. Natural light floods the space through windows to two aspects, while the adjoining kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a skylight that enhances the feeling of space and light. Two bedrooms are served by a well-appointed bathroom featuring modern fittings, generous storage and a shower over the bath.

A particularly notable feature is the converted garage space on the ground floor.
