Full Description

INTRODUCTION
The old saying "You can't always judge a book by its cover" is certainly true here! This is one of those properties that really will surprise you! Situated in this popular cul-de-sac that is within easy walking distance of UHW at Heath is this much extended end-terrace house that offers very spacious family-size accommodation and has a large corner garden. A two-storey side extension was added to the property some years ago, providing a considerable amount of extra living space, and the property benefits from having gas central heating and double-glazing. It is an end-terrace house with attractive facing brick front elevations, and the roof is of man-made slates. The property has a large, splayed side and rear garden with a sunny south-west facing aspect, and there is off-road parking with access via the rear lane. There is also a useful garden workshop/store with power and light. The central heating is fired by a wall-mounted Worcester combi gas central heating boiler, and there are thermostat-controlled radiators virtually throughout.

Local amenities are excellent, and include; shops, stores and supermarkets on Whitchurch Road, and nearby Western Avenue; junior and senior schools, including the popular Ysgol Mynydd Bychan Welsh language primary school; popular pubs, restaurants, bistros and a superb range of eateries; parks and recreational facilities such as Heath Park, Roath Park with its lake, and the nearby Maindy Leisure centre, a Post Office, local Library etc., all within walking distance.
