The property
Superb cottage in the heart of Old St Mellons which offers a superb living space.
Almost unique in its essence is this quite fantastic, purpose-built cottage in the ever popular village of Old St. Mellons - just on the outskirts of Cardiff and perfectly located for access in and out of the City via the A48 / M4 link. Built in 2014, the owner has done a brilliant job in fusing together the traditional and the contemporary with this superb cottage - which most certainly surprises once inside. Externally, the property is finished with eye-catching stonework and is fronted by a wide driveway which could accommodate up to four vehicles. Internally, the property is stunning and encompasses modern, contemporary living perfectly with a spacious, open-plan living room / kitchen dining and conservatory space with tiled floor, underfloor heating, small, (separate) WC and space for dining table.
To the front is the sitting area and recessed area for a TV. The kitchen is to the middle of the living space and is finished in a chic, charcoal grey with integrated appliances, breakfast bar and central island (which houses the sink basin and hob,) and offers superb storage space. To the rear of the ground-floor is a wide, bright and spacious conservatory which is nicely used as a dining space (and then leads to the garden) - perfect in the summer.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, all of which are double in size and a modern bathroom with shower over bath. The rear garden is fantastic too with great lawn space and small decked area.
