INTRODUCTION
Located in one of the most popular suburbs of the city, and only a short distance from the vibrant village of Whitchurch, is this delightful end-terrace house that offers family-size accommodation that requires some updating but having the benefit of a generous corner plot with development potential. The property has gas central heating from a fire-fronted gas boiler that is situated in the living room, and there are radiators virtually throughout. The property has the added benefit of double-glazing. It is the end house of a terrace of three similar properties, with attractive double-bayed (bay-over-bay) front elevations of facing brick, and the roof is of slates. At the front is a gravelled garden area with brick boundary walls, and a wrought-iron gate. At the side and rear of the property is a sizeable garden area that may offer potential for extending or development (subject to planning approval). We understand that the property is Freehold.

LOCAL AMENITIES
With the city centre just four miles away in one direction and countryside and woodland less than a mile in the other - the suburb of Whitchurch offers the very best of both worlds.
It has been put on the map by sporting legends Gareth Bale, Geraint Thomas and Sam Warburton who were all at the local high school, and it is easy to see why it is such a popular place to live and visit, with something for everyone. There is an excellent Library, nurseries, junior and senior schools, bus and train commuter services to the city centre, and one of the best suburban shopping areas with Boots, Iceland and Co-op supermarkets, and a variety of shops and stores. The village is vibrant day and night as the suburb has established itself as a real foodie destination with lots of family-friendly cafes and restaurants, alongside traditional pubs. The historic Fox & Hounds pub is situated just off what is now the main thoroughfare through Whitchurch. However, this was once the centre of the old village which dates back to the 12th century, as directly behind the pub a Norman motte and bailey castle once stood. Across the road are St Mary’s Gardens, once home to St Mary’s Church, (the white church) which gave the area of Whitchurch its original name.
If it’s fresh air and exercise you are looking for, Whitchurch Golf Club is only a short distance from the property. The suburb also runs alongside the Taff Trail popular with walkers and cyclists, and there are a number of parks and interesting countryside walks. If you don't want to go far, the Forest Farm Nature Reserve is less than a mile from the main street. It includes the last remaining stretch of the former Glamorganshire canal, which ran from Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff. The canal still provides a good hunting ground for kingfishers, herons and many other species.
