Old Vicarage Close, Llanishen, Cardiff, CF14

Set within a peaceful residential cul-de-sac on the edge of Llanishen Village, 1 Old Vicarage Close presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-loved semi detached family home occupying a generous and mature corner plot. Offered to the market with no onward chain and vacant possession, this three bedroom property has remained in the same family since it was first built in the 1960s. It has provided a safe, happy and welcoming home for generations and now offers a new family the chance to make it their own.

The house itself is set back from the road with a wraparound garden that extends to the front, side and rear, offering plenty of privacy and green space. The accommodation, while well maintained, would now benefit from some updating. It is, however, presented in a fresh and tidy condition, ready for immediate occupation or gradual modernisation. The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hall with original wood block flooring that extends into the two receptions. There is also a handy cloakroom and W/C.? The spacious living room is filled with natural light, and the adjoining dining room opens directly into a bright conservatory. The conservatory overlooks the gardens and offers a pleasant place to relax or dine with views of the outdoor space. The fitted kitchen, located to the rear of the house, also benefits from a garden outlook and has been cared for over the years.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms and a modern shower room. There is also a large loft, which is fully boarded and accessible via a pull-down ladder. This loft space presents exciting potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The property sits on a generous corner plot, with well-established gardens that wrap around three sides of the home. These gardens have been a source of joy for the family who lived here, offering plenty of space for children to play, for pets to roam, and for adults to enjoy the peace and privacy the plot affords. The side garden in particular was once a safe, enclosed area for play, complete with a swing set and room for rounders. Today, it offers the same secure and versatile space, with mature planting, lawn, and scope for landscaping or extending the home, subject to planning.

A standout feature of the property is the detached garden room, formerly a garage but now converted into a fully powered and heated outbuilding. As well as offering excellent secure storage, it would make an ideal home office, gym, creative studio or playroom. Its flexibility adds real value and appeal, especially for families seeking additional space that can adapt to changing needs.

There is currently off-road parking for one vehicle to the front of the house, though there is also enough room to extend the driveway if more off road parking is required.

The location is another key highlight. Old Vicarage Close is a quiet, well-regarded cul-de-sac that enjoys a strong sense of community. The street was named after the original vicarage that once stood on the site, and it remains a place where neighbours greet each other, look out for one another, and where children still play safely outside. Llanishen train station is just a five-minute walk away, offering direct access into Cardiff and beyond, while several bus stops are also within easy reach. The property is just a short stroll from the centre of Llanishen Village, which offers a good selection of independent shops, cafes, a post office, and essential amenities.

Families will appreciate the choice of schools in the area, with well-regarded primary and secondary schools all within walking distance. Coed Glas Primary School, Christ the King RC Primary and Llanishen High School are all nearby. Healthcare is well catered for too, with Llanishen Court Surgery close at hand.

Nature lovers will enjoy being just a ten-minute walk from Llanishen Reservoir, a peaceful setting that's popular for its walking trails and natural beauty. There is also a large, open playing field at the bottom of the Close, providing additional space for recreation, dog walking and informal games.

This home has provided many happy memories for its previous owners, and it is easy to see why. With its spacious plot, flexible accommodation and unbeatable location, it offers a wonderful lifestyle opportunity for the right buyer. There is ample scope to extend, improve and reimagine the space over time, making it perfect for families seeking a long-term home they can truly make their own.

1 Old Vicarage Close is a property with heart, character and enormous potential. Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate everything this much-loved home has to offer.
