3 bed detached house for sale

Waunwaelod Way, Caerphilly CF83

Nestled in an enchanting semi-rural setting, surrounded by rolling fields and ancient woodland, Garth View is a truly unique and much loved home that offers the charm and character of countryside living, while remaining wonderfully convenient for Cardiff and Caerphilly. Tucked away along a peaceful lane, this spacious family home has been in the same family for over 45 years, and the warmth and care poured into it is immediately evident from the moment you arrive.

The property is framed by picturesque cottage style gardens that wrap gently around the house, creating a natural tapestry of seasonal colour, soft fragrances, and dappled sunlight. Birdsong fills the air, and the surrounding trees and hedgerows are alive with wildlife, from squirrels to butterflies and a chorus of garden birds. A public footpath directly opposite leads you out into miles of scenic walks, including routes that connect to Caerphilly Mountain, perfect for dog walkers, hikers, or those who simply enjoy peace and nature. And yet, despite its idyllic location, you’re just minutes by car from the amenities of both Cardiff and Caerphilly, and only a short stroll to the renowned Black Cock Inn, a local favourite known for its welcoming atmosphere.

Stepping inside, you're welcomed by an impressive entrance hall. A room in its own right with soaring ceilings and a beautiful mezzanine landing above. Natural light pours through multiple windows, bouncing off the warm tones of the wooden staircase. There's ample built in storage here, with a large cloakroom cupboard offering the perfect space for coats, boots and shoes after muddy walks through the countryside.

To the left of the hall, a door leads you into the heart of the home, a spacious and welcoming kitchen diner, full of country charm and practicality. The shaker style kitchen cabinetry lends a warm, traditional feel, perfectly complemented by the presence of an Rayburn stove nestled into the original chimney breast. This classic cast iron cooker not only creates a striking focal point, but brings a comforting warmth to the room year round. Beloved by generations, it is as much about lifestyle as it is about cooking, a place to dry gloves, warm the dog, and slow-cook hearty meals with love.

In addition to the Rayburn, the kitchen features an integrated electric oven and a four burner hob, offering versatility for any cook. There’s ample space for a large farmhouse dining table, perfect for family meals, lively dinner parties, or lazy Sunday brunches. A cosy lounge area at one end of the kitchen invites guests to linger longer, making this a truly social and inclusive space. This is where life happens, and where the best memories are made.

Double doors open out to a stunning timber-framed conservatory, bathed in light and offering a breath taking 360 degree view over the private, lush gardens and the woodland beyond. It’s a haven for wildlife lovers, with squirrels, birds and even the occasional fox making an appearance. French doors open from here onto a generous decked area, ideal for family barbecues, long summer evenings with friends, or simply enjoying a peaceful morning coffee as the sun rises across the fields. The current owners speak fondly of garden parties, bonfire night celebrations, and watching fireworks light up the sky all the way from Cardiff.

A separate utility room offers even more functionality with plumbing for a washing machine, space for a fridge freezer, and a practical sink and drainer, perfect for sorting vegetables from the productive garden plot just outside, or cleaning up after a day of gardening. There’s also direct access out to the garden, making it ideal for muddy boots and wet paws.

Across the hall, you’ll find the main lounge, a wonderfully bright and airy space with windows on two sides, allowing the natural light to flood in throughout the day. An impressive brick fireplace, complete with oil burning stove, adds character and warmth, making it the perfect place to gather on chilly evenings. The room easily accommodates the whole family, whether for movie nights, quiet reading, or festive celebrations. One can only imagine the joy of Christmas here, with a tree in the grand hallway, garlands on the staircase, and the glow of the fire lighting up loved ones’ faces.

Adjacent to the lounge is a versatile room, currently used as bedroom three. With dual aspect windows and ample fitted storage, this room would also make a wonderful additional reception room, a home office, or even a hobby space, depending on your needs. A convenient downstairs shower room and W/C complete the ground floor accommodation, offering flexibility and convenience for guests or multigenerational living.

Upstairs, the mezzanine landing continues the feeling of space and elegance. It’s more than just a hallway, it’s a place where light, air, and architecture come together to create something truly special. High ceilings and multiple windows make this an inviting and uplifting space.

The first floor offers two generously sized double bedrooms of similar proportions, each with charming triangular dormer windows that frame far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Whether it’s watching the sun rise over the fields or catching glimpses of distant fireworks in the evening sky, these rooms offer the perfect balance of rural romance and modern comfort. There's excellent eaves storage throughout, keeping the upstairs clutter-free and serene.

A stylish modern bathroom serves both bedrooms, fitted with a clean white suite including bath, W/C and wash basin, making this space fresh and functional.

Outside, the gardens are simply magical. Thoughtfully planted borders brim with colour through every season, while mature trees provide shade and privacy. There are hidden corners to sit with a book, sunny spots for loungers, and plenty of room for children to explore. The productive vegetable plot has been a source of pride for the current owners, providing fresh produce and a rewarding outdoor hobby for the whole family.

As the owners reflect, “We’ll miss all of it – the garden, the kitchen, the wildlife... But most of all the memories we’ve made here.” It’s a sentiment that anyone who visits Garth View will immediately understand. This is more than just a house, it’s a home where time slows down, where nature is always just a glance away, and where community, comfort and connection flourish.

The immediate area offers the best of both worlds, a strong sense of rural peace, yet just minutes from thriving local hubs. Rhiwbina, with its shops, cafes, and amenities, is just a six-minute drive, while Caerphilly is even closer. Castle Heights Golf Course lies half a mile down the road, ideal for a quiet round with friends. And for those who commute, Cardiff is easily accessible, offering the excitement of city life just a short journey away.

For those seeking a countryside lifestyle without compromising on connectivity or convenience, Garth View is the perfect fit. Warm, welcoming, and filled with character, it offers a rare opportunity to live in harmony with nature, surrounded by beauty, and embraced by community. A true sanctuary, waiting for its next chapter to begin.
