7 bed detached house for sale

Druidstone Road, Old St. Mellons, Cardiff CF3

Set along one of Old St Mellons most established residential addresses, Cefn Eurwg is a distinguished detached period home of impressive scale (over 3,600 sqft), approached through mature grounds and accompanied by a self contained two bedroom annex. The property enjoys a strong presence within its setting, surrounded by sizeable homes and generous plots that define this sought after edge of Cardiff location. Rich in character and architectural detail, the house now requires comprehensive renovation and restorative works throughout, presenting a rare opportunity for a buyer with vision to reimagine a significant residence and shape it to their own design and lifestyle requirements.

Internally the accommodation extends across several floors and offers a breadth of reception rooms, bedrooms and flexible loft space, while externally the gardens provide a sense of privacy and potential that is increasingly difficult to find so close to the city. The annex adds further versatility, lending itself to multi generational living, guest accommodation or workspace potential, subject to individual needs.

Old St Mellons remains highly regarded for its balance of countryside atmosphere and accessibility. The surrounding area offers local pubs, golf courses, equestrian routes and open green spaces, while everyday amenities can be found nearby at St Mellons, Pontprennau and along Newport Road. Cardiff city centre lies within comfortable reach, with convenient road links to the A48 and M4 providing easy access for commuters travelling towards Bristol, Newport or further west. Well respected schools and a strong community feel continue to make this location a firm favourite for buyers seeking space, character and long term potential within a semi rural Cardiff setting.

The side garden includes lawned areas and a former putting green, leading through to the main rear garden. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a raised patio area close to the house, established borders, mature hedging and fencing, some of which requires repair.

Within the grounds there is a sunken cesspit serving the main house. It is understood that main drainage is available within the road but has never been connected to the property.

A gated side access connects the rear garden back to the front.
