Swallowfield Drive, Penallta, Hengoed CF82

Description

Swallowfield Drive is an attractive three-bedroom detached home, combining stylish interiors, sociable living spaces and a garden ready for its next chapter, all set within a popular development surrounded by an abundance of green space.

From the outset, the home has an inviting feel, with a driveway extending alongside the property providing off-road parking and access to the garage.

The lounge is undoubtedly one of the standout spaces. Designed as somewhere to properly switch off at the end of the day, the owners have introduced a bespoke media wall with an electric fireplace, creating a contemporary focal point and a cosy setting for evenings at home and it's a room the sellers particularly enjoy. Life naturally continues into the open-plan kitchen/diner at the rear. Whether it's breakfast before the school run, sitting down together for an evening meal or opening the French doors when friends are over in the summer, this is a space designed around everyday life. A separate ground-floor WC completes the accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, three bedrooms provide space for a growing family, guests or those needing a dedicated home working area. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, providing plenty of room to enjoy as it stands while offering a genuine blank canvas for its next owners to shape into a space of their own.
