A charming and characterful three-bedroom cottage dating from the late nineteenth century, positioned along the ever-popular Tyn y Parc Road in Rhiwbina. Combining the warmth and individuality of a period home with a number of thoughtful improvements made during the current owner’s tenure, the property retains a wealth of attractive features and offers a particularly appealing opportunity within this established North Cardiff location.

The terrace forms part of one of the older residential pockets of the area and is understood to have evolved from a small nineteenth-century hamlet associated with local industry along the Nant-y-Waedlyd stream. Historic mapping suggests that former mill buildings on this site were later converted or replaced by cottages, resulting in the distinctive and characterful terrace seen today.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises a welcoming storm porch, living and dining room, fitted kitchen with adjoining utility area, three bedrooms and a bathroom. The living room is particularly inviting, with an attractive window seat and wood-burning stove adding further warmth and character.

Throughout the house, considerable care has been taken to complement its original character, with a collection of carefully sourced reclaimed and antique architectural pieces adding genuine individuality.

Of particular note are a number of reclaimed timber cupboard and pantry doors, sourced from auctions and salvage and fitted with period-style ironmongery. A distinctive farmhouse cupboard incorporates carved heart details with Welsh love-spoon motifs, while an unusual reclaimed herb-drying rack provides another fascinating focal point. Originally forming part of a dresser, the piece retains its traditional hooks for hanging and drying herbs together with apertures originally intended to accommodate small terracotta herb pots. These carefully chosen details sit particularly well within the historic fabric of the cottage and give the interior a character rarely found in more conventional modern homes.

The property further benefits from gas central heating via a combination boiler and uPVC double glazing.

Externally, the house has an equally attractive appearance. To the front is a low-maintenance courtyard, while mature wisteria beautifully frames the entrance and windows, creating a particularly picturesque frontage. To the rear is an enclosed, low-maintenance garden with the useful benefit of pedestrian access onto the rear lane, which is approached from Heol y Nant.

Tyn y Parc Road occupies a convenient position between the popular villages of Rhiwbina and Whitchurch, providing excellent access to the independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities available within both areas. Nearby railway stations and bus services provide convenient links towards Cardiff city centre, while the A470, Northern Avenue and M4 can all be readily accessed for journeys further afield.

With its attractive period frontage, mature wisteria, three-bedroom accommodation and an abundance of carefully considered period and reclaimed detailing, this is a home with a distinctive personality and considerable charm. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the individual character on offer.

Offered to the market with no chain and vacant possession.
