Welcome To Cwm Gwynlais
A Detached Home Full of Charm and Practicality
Tucked away in the picturesque and desirable village of Tongwynlais, this renovated three-bedroom detached property offers the perfect balance of traditional charm and modern convenience. With no onward chain, it’s ready to move into immediately.
Thoughtful Design from Front to Back
The property immediately impresses with its distinctive yellow brick façade, traditional tiled roof, and dark painted trim, all framed by a neatly maintained front garden. A driveway offers ample space for off-road parking and leads directly to an integrated single garage – complete with electric lighting and an up-and-over door.
A side gate allows for convenient access to the enclosed rear garden, making this an ideal home for families or pet owners.
Ground Floor Living – Space to Relax and Entertain
Step inside to find a versatile layout. The main lounge is warm and inviting, complete with a gas fireplace, perfect for cooler evenings. A separate sitting room provides a more private space for reading, working from home, or children’s play.
The dedicated dining room is ideal for hosting, with a clear view into the kitchen. This well-planned flow makes both everyday life and entertaining easy.
Kitchen – Like New and Ready to Use
Installed in 2015 and never used, the modern Sigma kitchen feels brand new. It features handleless cabinets in a sleek, contemporary finish, dark countertops, and a stainless steel extractor hood. A light grey brick-style tiled splashback brings subtle character, and recessed spotlights add warmth and sophistication.
There’s also a handy cloakroom off the inner hallway – great for guests or young families.
Upstairs – Comfortable Bedrooms and Modern Bathrooms
The first floor hosts three bedrooms, each with a calm, neutral décor. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room, offering added privacy and convenience. The other two bedrooms are both generously sized, ideal for children, guests, or a home office setup.
A family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, finished to a clean and modern standard.
Garden – Private, Sunny and Low Maintenance
The south-west facing rear garden is perfect for enjoying sunny afternoons and al fresco dining. Designed to be both attractive and easy to maintain, it features a paved patio area, artificial turf, and stepping stones, all bordered by wooden fencing and mature greenery.
There’s also an outdoor water tap and external electrical socket, making gardening and outdoor entertaining a breeze.
Modern Comforts and Upgrades
This home has been thoughtfully updated to ensure peace of mind for the next owner. The fuse board was upgraded in 2020, and the electrical system includes a spur ready for electric car charging – a future-proof feature in today’s market.
What the Owners Loved Most...
“We fell in love with this home for the lifestyle it offered — a south-facing garden perfect for summer BBQs and growing our own chillies and tomatoes, peaceful village charm, and unbeatable access to both nature and the city. Tongwynlais gave us everything: Scenic walks with our dog, a quiet cul-de-sac with no further development, and the convenience of being moments from the M4 and A470 - major roads through Wales and England. It’s ideal for anyone needing to travel across South Wales, or pop into Cardiff without the noise of living there. The kitchen has always been the heart of our home — a place to unwind, cook, and chat at the end of the day. The village, with its community feel, coffee shops, and nearby castle, made this house more than just bricks and mortar — it’s been our sanctuary.”
A Truly Special Setting in the Heart of Tongwynlais
Nestled in the charming and tightly knit village of Tongwynlais, 5 Cwm Gwynlais offers far more than just a convenient postcode – it’s a gateway to a lifestyle that seamlessly blends countryside serenity with city connectivity.
Suburban Tranquillity with City Access
Tongwynlais is widely regarded as one of Cardiff’s hidden gems. This village delivers the peace and quiet of a semi-rural location while still being incredibly well-connected. Residents enjoy easy access to the A470 and M4, making commuting a breeze for professionals working in Cardiff, Newport, or the Valleys. For those who prefer public transport, regular bus services run directly into Cardiff city centre and nearby train stations at Coryton and Radyr provide efficient rail links straight to Cardiff Central.
Enviable Local Amenities
Within walking distance, you’ll find a host of practical and lifestyle-enhancing amenities including a chemist, gp surgery, dentist, local pubs, and several independent coffee shops. The nearby Asda Cardiff Coryton Supercentre ensures grocery shopping is straightforward, while further retail options are easily reached in nearby Whitchurch and Llandaff North.
Excellent School Catchment
One of the key draws for families relocating to Tongwynlais is the superb school catchment area. The property falls within the catchment for:
Tongwynlais Primary School (English medium primary)
Radyr Comprehensive School (English medium secondary)
Ysgol Gynradd Gwaelod Y Garth (Welsh medium primary)
Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Plasmawr (Welsh medium secondary)
These schools are well-regarded and often sought after, adding long-term value to the area for families looking to put down roots.
A Lifestyle Rich in Outdoor and Community Life
The location truly shines when it comes to outdoor pursuits and village charm. The Taff Trail – a scenic walking and cycling route that runs through the village – offers an idyllic daily escape and is popular with both families and fitness enthusiasts. Just a short stroll away lies the iconic Castell Coch, a fairy-tale Victorian Gothic castle nestled in the woods, adding a touch of magic to everyday life.
The community spirit in Tongwynlais is evident in its local sports clubs, such as Tongwynlais fc and Tongwynlais rfc, as well as the active village hall that hosts community events throughout the year. For those looking to maintain an active lifestyle, The Village Hotel Cardiff nearby features a gym, spa, and indoor pool.
Ideal for Professionals, Families and Downsizers
Whether you're a professional looking for a peaceful retreat with quick city access, a growing family drawn to the excellent schools and green spaces, or someone looking to downsize without compromising on amenities, Tongwynlais offers a rare balance. The blend of village charm, strategic location, and access to green space makes it a destination, not just a location.
