2 bed detached house for sale

Doe Close, Penylan, Cardiff CF23

Tucked away within a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Penylan area of Cardiff, this stylish detached coach house presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers and investors alike. Beautifully presented throughout, the property offers well-planned accommodation complemented by an attractive kitchen and contemporary bathroom.

The accommodation is bright and welcoming, centred around an impressive open-plan living and dining room. Natural light floods the space through windows to two aspects, while the adjoining kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a skylight that enhances the feeling of space and light.
