DESCRIPTION

Also close by are further local parks within Penylan including Roath Mill Gardens and Waterloo Gardens. Local amenities also include the Roath Park Tea Rooms, Waterloo Gardens Post Office, Penylan Pantry, Penylan Bowling Club, and the Church of St Edward King and Confessor located along Westville Road.

Originally the property was designed as a purpose built four bedroom semi-detached house, whilst in 2012 a professional loft conversion was completed by Messrs Star Light, using the smallest fourth bedroom to house the custom made staircase that leads to this amazing master bedroom space. The original fourth bedroom is now a study.
