Maelog Road, Whitchurch, Cardiff, CF14

Thoughtfully extended and enhanced, this is a home that has been designed with modern family life firmly in mind. The rear extension and loft conversion have created an impressive amount of flexible accommodation across three floors, with space to come together as a family as well as room to retreat. From busy weekday mornings and relaxed evenings at home to weekends spent entertaining friends and family, the layout adapts effortlessly to everyday life.

The entrance hallway immediately introduces some of the character found throughout the original part of the house, with a tiled floor, picture rail, coving and traditional-style radiator creating a warm and welcoming first impression.

To the front is a beautiful separate lounge, where woodblock flooring, a deep bay window and feature fireplace give the room a wonderful sense of character. Fitted shelving sits neatly within the alcoves, while the bay allows plenty of natural light into the room. It is an inviting space to retreat to in the evening, providing a quieter alternative to the more open family spaces towards the rear.

At the heart of the home is the generous kitchen and dining room, a relaxed and sociable space designed around everyday family living. Traditional touches including oak work surfaces, a Belfast sink and range cooker complement the cabinetry, while there is ample room for a large dining table where family meals, homework and Sunday lunches can all comfortably take place.

From here, the house opens into the rear extension and a lovely additional family room. A roof lantern draws natural light from above, while bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between inside and out. It is easy to imagine these doors folded back during the warmer months, children moving between the house and garden while the kitchen and family room become the natural gathering point for entertaining.

Practicality has been considered too. A separate utility room keeps laundry and household essentials away from the main kitchen, with a stable-style door providing access outside, while a ground-floor WC is an invaluable addition for a busy household.

The first floor continues to offer the generous proportions expected of a traditional family home. There are three bedrooms at this level, including two particularly comfortable doubles alongside a third bedroom which would work equally well as a child’s room, nursery or home office.

These rooms are served by a beautifully finished contemporary shower room, recently updated with stylish tiling, a rainfall shower, vanity storage and carefully considered lighting.

The second floor is perhaps one of the features that really sets this home apart. The loft conversion has created two further excellent bedrooms together with an additional shower room, transforming the property into a genuine five-bedroom home. This floor offers tremendous flexibility for older children and teenagers, guests or anyone wanting a little more independence within the house. Equally, one of the rooms could make an excellent home office away from the main living areas.

Outside, the rear garden has been designed to be attractive without demanding endless maintenance. A porcelain patio provides plenty of room for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, complemented by an artificial lawn and established planted borders. It is a garden that can be enjoyed rather than constantly worked on.

A timber garden room, complete with power and lighting, provides further potential. Already a useful additional space, it could be developed into a dedicated home office, studio, gym or hobby room. There is also a single garage with power and lighting, together with driveway parking to the front.

For families, the location is every bit as important as the house itself. Whitchurch has long been one of North Cardiff’s most sought-after areas, offering that increasingly desirable combination of a genuine village atmosphere with excellent access to the city.

Whitchurch Village is just a short walk away, making it easy to leave the car at home and enjoy its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. The area is particularly popular with families thanks to its highly regarded primary and secondary schools, while nearby parks and green spaces provide plenty of opportunities to get outdoors.

Excellent public transport connections also make the location particularly convenient for commuting into Cardiff city centre, while road links provide straightforward access to the A470, M4 and surrounding areas.

It is this combination of space and setting that makes the property such an appealing long-term family home. With five bedrooms, two shower rooms, separate and open-plan living areas, a practical utility, garden room, garage and a lovely rear garden, there is room here for a family to grow without quickly outgrowing the house.

After 26 years with the current owners, this much-loved home is ready for its next chapter – offering another family the opportunity to put down roots and enjoy everything that life in Whitchurch has to offer.

The cost of these checks is £54 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Coadjute, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Coadjute to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
