Set on the sought-after Romilly Crescent, this beautifully presented Victorian home offers an appealing combination of period character, contemporary design and a wonderfully connected Pontcanna location.
Originally built in around 1860, the property has been
thoughtfully and comprehensively refurbished by award-winning developer
Portabella, completed in 2015.
The result is a stylish and welcoming home that retains the charm and
proportions of its period origins while providing the comfort and finish
expected of modern living.
Romilly Crescent is ideally placed within one of Cardiff’s
most established and sought-after residential neighbourhoods. Pontcanna is renowned for its leafy streets,
handsome period architecture, independent cafés, restaurants, shops and relaxed
community atmosphere.
Pontcanna Fields, Thompson Park, Sophia Gardens and the River Taff provide an
abundance of opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor recreation. Sophia Gardens is also home to a range of
sporting facilities, including Glamorgan Cricket and the Sport Wales National
Centre.
For everyday amenities, Pontcanna, Canton and nearby Cathedral Road offer a varied selection of independent cafés, bakeries, restaurants, bars and local businesses. The neighbourhood's combination of green open spaces and a thriving independent food and drink scene has helped establish its reputation as one of Cardiff's distinctive city-village communities.
Despite its peaceful residential character, the property is conveniently positioned for access to Cardiff city centre and beyond. Cardiff city centre is approximately a 10–15 minute walk from Pontcanna, with Cardiff Central railway station around a 20-minute walk to Visit Cardiff. Ninian Park and Cathays stations are also accessible from the area.
Local bus services provide connections between Pontcanna, Canton and the wider Cardiff area, with routes including the 24 and 25 serving the neighbourhood. Road connections are also convenient, with Western Avenue providing access towards the A48, A470 and wider road network.
For those who enjoy travelling by bicycle or on foot, the nearby Taff Trail provides an attractive route alongside the river, while Pontcanna's proximity to Bute Park and the city centre makes active travel particularly appealing.
Family’s will also benefit as the area offers access to a
variety of primary and secondary schools; with nearby options including Severn
Primary School, St Mary's R.C. Primary School and Radnor Primary School.
Ysgol Gymraeg Treganna provides Welsh-medium primary education within the local
area, while secondary options include Fitzalan High School and other schools
across Cardiff.
