Boverton Street, Roath, Cardiff, CF23

Standing on a quiet tree lined street, within a stones' throw of Roath Lake, Park and Rose Gardens you'll find this truly exceptional 5 bedroom period home. The current owners have lovingly renovated the property to provide a stylish, contemporary home whilst retaining all the charm and grandeur you can expect from Edwardian architecture at its finest.

The house was designed by the famous Cardiff architect EWM Corbett, responsible for some of Cardiff's most significant buildings including the Castle Arcade and Mount Stewart. The property has been meticulously maintained over the years, resulting in many original features being beautifully preserved for generation after generation to enjoy.

From the street the original tiled path leads to the open porch and front door which is beautifully framed by an ornate limestone arch.

You'll be instantly in awe as you step into the entrance hall. The original mosaic tiled floor leads your eyes down the hallway, passing an impressive staircase and intricate lincrusta wallpaper. The tall ceilings are adorned with elaborate plaster cornicing which together with the original solid oak doors make for a wonderfully welcoming entrance and a room in its own right.

Originally two separate rooms, the main reception offers ample space for both relaxing and dining. A large bay with double glazed sash windows allows an abundance of natural light to flood in and fill the space and a period fireplace with slate hearth not only provides an attractive focal point, the working fireplace is a cosy addition, perfect for those crisp winter evenings curled up with a cocoa and your favourite boxset. The original floorboards are exposed and display a beautiful patina, a charming reminder of the property's history and the families who've called it home. Further original features including coving and picture rails round off the character of this room

A door with glass panelling opens to reveal a handy downstairs W/C and utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and ample space to store bulky items and cleaning supplies.

Heading back into the hallway you'll find ample space under the stairs for hanging coats and kicking off boots after two laps of the lake. A door opens to reveal the magnificent chefs space.? There's no doubt that this high-end contemporary kitchen has the wow-factor. A large island provides a huge workspace, even for those messiest of chefs, and incorporates an induction hob with downdraft extractor, great if you love to play host. Guests can relax and enjoy a glass while you rustle up your signature dish.

"We love the kitchen we've put in with its Quartz worktops and integrated AEG appliances, it's a great place to cook, socialise and eat. It's also great to use the back family seating area in the summer, looking on to the garden."

A chimney breast acts as a room divide between the kitchen and rear reception, a bright garden room. At it's best in the morning, when the sun streams in through the French doors, this versatile space works wonderfully as breakfast room or snug.

Upstairs this beautiful home continues to impress with no less than five bedrooms. The largest occupies the front of the property providing plenty of room for a super king size bed. Built in wardrobes provide plenty of storage space. The room benefits from a large bay window with views over the picturesque Edwardian street. Heading towards the rear of the property you'll find another 3 bedrooms, all benefiting from excellent proportions.

The family bathroom is newly refurbished with a white modern suite comprising low level W/C, wall hung wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over.

Stairs continue to the second floor, a fabulously spacious room. Currently used as office space it would equally suit use as a teenagers bedroom or guest room benefiting from an ensuite W/C.

To the rear of the property is a well presented walled garden.? The sunny south easterly facing patio offers space for both eating and relaxing. Whether you're sunning yourself in a lounger or enjoying a spot of alfresco breakfast this pretty courtyard makes an ideal setting. A garage offers parking for one car and is accessed via the rear gated lane. As well as offering additional storage, the garage also benefits from an EV charging point.

The property is set in a highly desirable location with numerous parks and recreational spaces on its doorstep. Within a short walk you'll find the very popular Wellfield Road, famous for its trendy bars, boutique shops and restaurants. There's also Albany Road nearby with a multitude of conveniences including fresh food stores, banks, galleries, takeaways and even a post office!?

"We'll really miss the location - the fact it's across the road from Roath Pleasure Gardens and the Rec which is a hive of activity on a sunny day, as well as it being a short walk from the cafe's and eateries of Wellfield Road. We also regularly walk into town and we can now walk to John Lewis in 23 minutes! Transport links are great, with the bus stop at the end of the Road."
