Vendor Insight
This exceptional and generously proportioned family home occupies a delightful position within the friendly village of Old St Mellons, just a few miles from the vibrant Welsh capital of Cardiff. Built in the 1980’s, the property has been a much adored home for its present owners, Paul and Sue, since 2006. Recognising its potential from the moment they stepped through the front door, plus, they immediately felt a sense of calm and belonging, both, instinctively, knew that this was where they wanted to create their future family home.

“As Paul is an experienced and highly professional builder, we undertook a major programme of improvements, transforming the house into the impressive home it is today. Over the past 20 years, no detail has been overlooked, with considerable thought given to quality, practicality and contemporary comfort. The result is our beautifully presented home offering generous, well-balanced, accommodation, excellent storage and an exacting standard of finish throughout, particularly evident in the superb, bespoke, German kitchen and well-appointed bedrooms.”

“Above all, first and foremost, our home is designed around family life, providing ample space for everyone to enjoy time spent here, while coming together to make lasting memories. Our children, and now our grandchildren, have always loved visiting, while the spacious dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining friends and family over leisurely meals. Our accommodation offers a wonderful balance of comfortable everyday living, and other more formal occasions, with space to relax, play and celebrate together.”

“Outside our private garden is equally impressive. The conservatory and kitchen open out onto a generous, paved area, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living and providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining. Our professionally landscaped garden offers a wonderfully private environment in which to unwind or entertain. Indeed, the space has proved ideal for larger celebrations, having hosted a post wedding party attended by more than 100 guests.”

“The village has a strong sense of community spirit, pleasant walking routes, excellent schools, good pubs and a much loved award winning fish and chip shop. Everyday shopping facilities and supermarkets are close at hand, while Cardiff offers an outstanding choice of shops, restaurants, cultural attractions and sporting events. The nearby coastline provides further opportunities for leisure, whilst convenient road and rail connections make travelling further afield straightforward.”

After 20 exceptionally happy years, we are preparing for our next adventure. Although leaving will be very difficult, this magnificent home is ready to welcome a new family who we know will enjoy as much happiness here as we have experienced and from which we will take away many treasured memories”’
