The Graylands, Rhiwbina, Cardiff, CF14

Tucked away at the head of a quiet Rhiwbina cul-de-sac, just minutes from the village, you'll find this pretty bay fronted home. Benefitting from a wonderfully bright and spacious open plan kitchen, the property has been beautifully modernised throughout and offers all the charm and character you'd expect from a traditional home with all the modern creature comforts you could ask for.

"I had a feeling when I first viewed the property - I hadn't felt like it in any other property. I could picture living here and I knew it was the one!"

The Graylands is located within the increasingly popular North Cardiff suburb of Rhiwbina. Affectionately known by locals as ‘The Village', Rhiwbina has become popular with both families and downsizers alike due to the excellent schools, vibrant community and wonderful countryside on its doorstep. Together with the superb array of independent shops, cafes and other businesses, it's not hard to see why it's become one of the most sought after postcodes in Cardiff.?

"We'll miss being so close to the village…walking to grab a coffee or taking the kids to the park."

Stepping inside the entrance hall is bright and welcoming. There's ample storage under the stairs to hide away coats, brollies and buggies, and the perfect place to kick off muddy boots after a walk through one of the nearby parks.

The first of 2 reception rooms is located at the front of the property, a fresh, bright space thanks to a pretty bay window which floods the room with natural light. A window seat provides a comfy spot to relax and enjoy your morning coffee whilst looking out over the quiet cul-de-sac. A period fireplace with exposed brickwork provides an attractive focal point which together with the picture rails brings an abundance of character to this welcoming reception.

Back into the hallway, before heading into the second reception you'll find a generous utility room and W/C. Fitted with a range of base units this handy space allows you to close the door on those noisy appliances and provides plenty of space to store your cleaning supplies and smaller appliances you don't want cluttering up the kitchen.

Next, it's time for the jewel in this home's crown - the kitchen. This impressive open plan space benefits from underfloor heating throughout and has been extended to provide a superb room for the whole family to enjoy. It's often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home and it's certainly true for this property.? Spacious enough to accommodate both seating and dining areas and with bi-folds opening directly onto the sunny gardens you'll be playing host every weekend!

A log burner stands handsomely in the fireplace, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere ready for those cool autumn evenings ahead. Just add popcorn for the perfect family movie night - if you can agree on a film!

"When I bought the property it had a galley kitchen, like lots of houses from that era. Opening up the kitchen has transformed it into the heart of the house."

The magnificent chefs space certainly has the wow factor. Fitted with a range of base and wall units housing integrated appliances including dishwasher and wine cooler. A large island provides more storage and counter space, perfect for even the messiest of chefs and incorporates a breakfast bar, the ideal perch for friends or family to drink and chat while dad rustles up his famous spag bol!

Bi-fold doors open onto the secluded rear gardens which are mostly laid to lawn with a large patio, a real suntrap, and the ideal place for a spot for alfresco dining. A path to the front provides gated side access.

"The patio gets so much sun during the day - there's nothing better than having a BBQ and relaxing with a drink!"

Heading upstairs. the first of two double bedrooms benefits again from the light that floods in through a large bay window which looks out to the front. Original features such as the case iron fireplace, picture rails and exposed floorboards complement the classic white of the d?cor. The second double bedroom, this time to the rear of the property, also benefits from a cast iron fireplace and picture rails. A single bedroom at the front of the property, is currently utilised as a dressing room but would make an excellent child's room or office.

The family bathroom is of excellent proportions, easily accommodating both walk in shower and freestanding bath. Serene aqua tiles to the shower and splashback add a pop of colour and with the addition of a few scented candles help set the scene for a relaxing soak after a long day.

The main bedroom is located on the second floor and is an impressive size double, easily accommodating a super king bed and numerous items of furniture. A Juliette balcony looks out over the picturesque garden and greenery beyond. A door opens to the ensuite shower room, fitted with a white suite comprising low level W/C, pedestal wash hand basin and walk in shower.

"The street is so friendly and really safe for children. We have a street WhatsApp group where people help each other out and arrange street parties."
