Ryder Street, Cardiff

A handsome and deceptively spacious four-bedroom period home, positioned on the ever-popular Ryder Street.

A welcoming entrance hallway retains plenty of period charm and leads to two separate reception rooms. The front living room is particularly striking, with a large bay window, stained-glass detailing, decorative cornicing and an attractive feature fireplace, while the second reception provides a versatile additional sitting room, study or family space.

The real centrepiece of the home is the substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. The kitchen features a large central island, while an extensive glazed rooflight and doors to the garden bring excellent natural light into the room. A separate utility room and ground-floor shower room provide further practicality.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a generous bay-fronted principal bedroom, together with a modern family bathroom.

Outside, the rear garden offers a combination of decked and paved seating areas surrounded by established planting, creating a pleasant and relatively private outdoor space. The property also benefits from a useful cellar.

With its impressive proportions, four-bedroom accommodation, period detailing and substantial open-plan rear extension, this is a fantastic family home in one of Cardiff's most sought-after residential locations, within easy reach of the amenities of Pontcanna and Canton, as well as the city centre.

Entrance Hall - A welcoming entrance hall that immediately introduces the character and proportions of this period home. Entered through an attractive front door with decorative etched glazing, matching side panels and an arched glazed panel above, allowing plenty of natural light into the hallway. The space retains a wealth of traditional detailing including high ceilings, decorative cornicing, picture rails and deep skirting boards, complemented by wood-effect flooring. Doors lead into both reception rooms, with the staircase rising to the first floor and the accommodation continuing through towards the impressive open-plan kitchen and living space at the rear.

Living Room - A beautifully proportioned principal reception room positioned at the front of the property and showcasing some of the home's finest period features. The large bay window incorporates fitted plantation shutters with attractive stained-glass panels above, creating an impressive focal point while allowing excellent natural light into the room. Further character comes from the ornate ceiling cornicing and decorative plasterwork, while a striking period-style fireplace with decorative tiled inserts, cast-iron detailing and tiled hearth forms the centrepiece of the room. There is generous space for a variety of seating arrangements, making this a comfortable yet impressive main living room.

Sitting Room - A generous and highly versatile second reception room, currently arranged to provide a home office and music space. The room retains the proportions and character expected of a traditional period property, with high ceilings, decorative detailing and wood-effect flooring. A particularly appealing feature is the pair of timber and glazed double doors which open directly into the extended kitchen/dining/family room. This creates an excellent flow between the original and extended sections of the house while still allowing the room to be closed off when required. The space could comfortably serve as a formal dining room, snug, playroom, home office or additional sitting room depending on the needs of the next owner.

Kitchen/Dining/Family Room - Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the property, this substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and family room creates a fantastic contemporary living space across the rear of the house. The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of sleek, high-gloss wall and base units providing excellent storage, complemented by timber work surfaces and a contrasting tiled splashback. A substantial central island provides additional preparation space as well as informal breakfast-bar seating, while the generous proportions of the room easily accommodate a full-size dining table. Beyond the kitchen is a relaxed family seating area, allowing cooking, dining and everyday living to take place within one sociable space. A large glazed rooflight runs along part of the extension and, together with the glazed doors to the rear, introduces an abundance of natural light. Recessed ceiling spotlights, additional wall lighting and wood-effect flooring run throughout the space, while the glazed doors provide a direct connection onto the rear garden and decked seating area. The overall result is an impressive and practical heart of the home, particularly well suited to family life and entertaining. Underfloor heating.

Utility Room - Positioned just beyond the kitchen is a useful separate utility room, helping to keep everyday household appliances and laundry away from the main living space. Fitted with contemporary cabinetry, a stainless-steel sink and drainer and timber work surface, there is useful additional storage and appliance space. Wood-effect flooring continues through the room, while a window provides natural light. The utility room also gives access to the ground-floor shower room, creating a particularly practical arrangement for a busy household.

Ground Floor Shower Room - A valuable addition to the ground-floor accommodation, positioned beyond the utility room. The shower area is finished with large-format neutral tiling and incorporates a walk-in shower with contemporary shower fittings. A window provides natural light and ventilation. The presence of a second washing facility on the ground floor adds further flexibility to the house and complements the main family bathroom upstairs.

Cellar - Accessed from the ground floor, the property also benefits from a long cellar extending beneath part of the original house. Measuring approximately 26'5" in length, it provides a considerable amount of additional storage space beyond the main accommodation.

Landing - The staircase rises from the entrance hall to a spacious first-floor landing, from which all four bedrooms and the family bathroom are accessed. The arrangement places the two largest bedrooms towards the front and middle of the property, with two further bedrooms positioned towards the rear.

Bedroom One - An exceptionally spacious principal bedroom occupying the full width of the front of the property. The room enjoys the same impressive proportions and bay-fronted architecture as the living room below, with a large bay window incorporating fitted plantation shutters. The generous dimensions provide ample room for a king-size or larger bed together with wardrobes, drawers and additional bedroom furniture without compromising the feeling of space. High ceilings and the broad bay window further enhance the sense of scale, making this an impressive main bedroom.

Bedroom Two - A generous second double bedroom positioned towards the middle of the first floor. Well proportioned and capable of comfortably accommodating a double bed together with freestanding bedroom furniture. The room benefits from a window providing natural light and retains the simple period proportions found throughout the original part of the house. Its size makes it a genuine second double bedroom rather than an occasional or guest space.

Bedroom Three - Situated towards the rear of the first floor, this additional bedroom provides useful and flexible accommodation. A window overlooks the rear and brings natural light into the room. Its proportions make it well suited as a child's bedroom, nursery or dedicated home office, particularly for buyers looking for four-bedroom accommodation while retaining separate working space.

Bedroom Four - A further bedroom located towards the rear of the property with a window overlooking the garden and neighbouring rooftops. While more compact than the principal bedrooms, it remains a useful and adaptable room that could work particularly well as a child's bedroom, nursery, guest room or study.

Family Bathroom - A well-appointed family bathroom positioned centrally on the first floor. The room is fitted with a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath with wall-mounted shower and clear glazed shower screen, WC and a contemporary wash hand basin set within a useful vanity unit with drawer storage. Large-format neutral wall tiling surrounds the bath and shower area, while two obscured windows provide plenty of natural light and ventilation. A wall-mounted mirror and heated towel rail complete the room.

Garden - The kitchen/dining/family room opens directly onto the rear garden, creating an excellent connection between the internal and external living spaces. Immediately outside the property is a decked seating area, providing a convenient spot for outdoor furniture and entertaining. Beyond this, the garden continues into a paved patio surrounded by an abundance of mature and established planting, creating a pleasantly green outlook from the rear of the house. Stone boundary walls add further character, while the combination of decking, paving and established borders provides a garden that offers both usable seating space and plenty of greenery. A pedestrian gate is positioned at the far end.
