Cherished by the same family since 1964, this three-bedroom semi-detached home is being offered to the market for the first time in over 60 years, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a property with a wonderful history, generous proportions and considerable potential.

Occupying a substantial corner plot in Grangetown, the property benefits from two reception rooms, an extended kitchen, three bedrooms, front and rear gardens and a private driveway providing off-road parking.  Offered with no onward chain and probate grant of probate confirmed, it truly is a property that buyers can modernise and personalise to their own taste.

 

The ground floor begins with an entrance hallway leading to two reception rooms.  The front living room provides a separate space to relax, while the generous through lounge offers plenty of room for both sitting and dining.

The layout provides flexibility for modern family life, with scope to update the interiors and create a more contemporary feel while making the most of the existing space.

To the rear, the extended kitchen was added approximately 50 years ago.  Although ready for updating, it offers a good starting point for a new kitchen design, with the potential to create a practical and welcoming space for everyday family life.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.  The rooms offer good scope for improvement, allowing the next owner to introduce their own style and make the accommodation work for their needs.

One of the property's key advantages is its generous corner plot, providing more outdoor space than many homes in such a well-connected location.

There is a front garden, a private driveway with off-road parking and a rear garden offering space for children to play, outdoor dining or gardening. The garden also provides an opportunity for a new owner to improve the landscaping and create an outdoor space to suit their lifestyle.

The combination of gardens, parking and a generous plot adds to the property's appeal and gives buyers plenty to consider beyond the accommodation itself.

Front Garden:
Set back from the road and occupying a generous corner position on a quiet residential street, the property immediately makes a welcoming first impression. The front garden is approached through two separate gates, offering both pedestrian and vehicular access. One provides a convenient pathway to the front entrance, while the second gives access to the private paved driveway, allowing you to pull directly onto the property with ease. The front garden combines a neatly paved driveway with an area of lawn, creating a practical yet attractive approach to the home while providing valuable off-road parking. Adding real character to the property's kerb appeal are the two beautiful bay-fronted windows, which provide a wonderful focal point to the front elevation and hint at the generous proportions and traditional feel found within. The corner position also brings an additional practical advantage, with side access leading through to the rear garden. This is particularly useful for family life, gardening and bringing larger items through to the rear without having to pass through the house. With its attractive bay frontage, private driveway, lawned garden and gated side access, the approach sets the tone for what is a genuine family home with space, character and plenty of potential.

Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hallway provides the perfect introduction to this much-loved family home. Bright and practical, the hallway creates a natural connection between the principal reception rooms and the staircase rising to the first floor, giving an immediate sense of the home's generous proportions and excellent layout. There is plenty of space to arrive home, greet guests and comfortably organise everyday family life, while the hallway also provides access through towards the rear of the property and the extended kitchen. This is a traditional entrance that feels both practical and inviting, offering a glimpse of the space and versatility that continues throughout the home.

Rear Garden:
Step outside and you will find a generous and beautifully established rear garden, offering a wonderful extension of the home's living space and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. The garden is thoughtfully arranged with a combination of paved areas and lawn, creating the perfect balance between entertaining space and areas to relax, play or simply enjoy the sunshine. Raised flower beds add interest and character, providing the ideal opportunity for keen gardeners to introduce seasonal colour, shrubs and planting, while the existing potted plants add further charm and personality. The enclosed nature of the garden is another real advantage, with fencing surrounding the boundaries creating a private and secure environment that is particularly well suited to family life. There is plenty of flexibility here too. The paved area could provide a fantastic setting for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, while the lawn offers space for children to play or for creating a more substantial garden scheme. A particularly useful feature is the side access leading directly from the front of the property into the rear garden. This is ideal for bringing through bicycles, garden equipment and other larger items without having to take them through the house.
