Bridge Road, Old St. Mellons, CF3

Tanglemead is a truly one-off two-bedroom detached bungalow, set in expansive gardens with far-reaching views, on the edge of the historic village of Old St Mellons.

With its flat roof, crisp white render, natural stone walls and black-framed glazing, the house has a distinctly mid-century feel. Inside, parquet floors, a timber-clad feature wall and a stone fireplace carry that character throughout.

At its heart is a spacious open-plan living, kitchen and dining space of around 45 sq m. Two sets of wide bi-fold doors open it straight onto a stone patio and lawn, with views stretching out beyond the garden. The living area centres on the stone fireplace, with built-in shelving and a large picture window. The kitchen pairs dark shaker-style units with brass fittings, green tiling and a chequerboard floor, with a separate utility room just off it. Two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with parquet flooring, lead off the entrance hall, along with a bathroom and built-in storage. It’s ideal for couples, small families or anyone working from home who wants space, light and greenery.

The property is offered unfurnished, with white goods included, among them a dishwasher. Outside, the gardens are the real showstopper: a sweeping lawn framed by mature trees, hedging and flowering shrubs, with a garden storage room for tools, bikes and outdoor kit.

Old St Mellons is one of Cardiff’s few true villages. Its historic core has been a designated conservation area since 1976, centred on a Grade I listed parish church that keeps most of its medieval fabric, and its pubs include the Fox & Hounds, which dates back to the early 1700s. The village also has a petrol station, newsagent and convenience store, a chip shop and a hairdresser, and St Mellons Church in Wales Primary School is on Bridge Road itself. For a bigger shop, Cardiff Gate Retail Park has a 24-hour Asda and B&Q, plus a Pure Gym and Costa.

The village bus stops on Newport Road are around 15 minutes’ walk, with regular services into Cardiff city centre and across to Newport. By car, Junction 30 of the M4 and the A48 are a short distance away, and the city centre is around 20 minutes’ drive. Llanishen and Heath stations are each around three miles away.

There is off-road parking on the driveway.

A rare chance to rent a home with real character, space to breathe and views to match, in one of Cardiff’s most charming village settings.
