3 bed detached house for sale

Melville Avenue, Old St Mellons, Cardiff CF3

Set within a substantial and mature corner plot, this substantial 1930s detached home offers approximately 1,400 sq ft of versatile family accommodation in a quiet and well-established private road in Old St Mellons. Enjoying a peaceful position away from passing traffic, the property combines a secluded setting with excellent accessibility to the A48, M4 and the wider Cardiff and Newport areas.

Originally constructed in 1934, the house occupies a prominent position at the entrance to Melville Avenue, a small and highly regarded private close. The accommodation is well balanced and filled with natural light, retaining a wealth of period detailing including wood block flooring, panelled internal doors, high ceilings and wide bay windows that give the home a strong sense of character.

Set back from the road behind a private stone-finished driveway, the property is surrounded by established gardens that offer a high degree of privacy. The gardens are a standout feature, enclosed by stone walls and mature hedging and planted with an excellent variety of trees and shrubs such as magnolia, lilac, wisteria and Mexican orange blossom. Well maintained lawns and multiple seating areas, vegetable beds, herb areas and several mature apple trees. The south-facing aspect allows both the house and garden to enjoy sunlight throughout the day, while a large sheltered patio creates an ideal space for outdoor entertaining.

The property has been carefully maintained and upgraded in recent years, with improvements including rewiring and installation of a Worcester combination boiler in 2015, replacement Georgian-style double-glazed windows (many fitted between 2020 and 2022), Virgin Media full-fibre broadband, and removal of the chimney in 2024.

Despite its quiet and private position, the location remains highly convenient. Old St Mellons village, a range of local amenities, pubs, shops, a garden centre and well-regarded schools including St John’s College are all within walking distance. Road links provide easy access to Cardiff, Newport, Bristol and the M4 corridor.

To the front and side of the property is private off-road parking for two to four vehicles, with scope to extend if required, completing a characterful and well-located family home in one of the area’s most desirable private settings.
