A Note From The Owner
Living here has been such a privilege. The house is positioned at the end of the old railway track, on which my dad used to drive the trains to Sully when I was a little girl growing up in Penarth. It is now a beautiful nature path for walkers and cyclists and even horses from the nearby farm pass by occasionally. There is a feeling of being close to nature here, whilst being a short stroll away from the bustling Penarth town centre with its array of restaurants and bars. Our house is nestled at the end of the path and enjoys a private, quiet position. If you stroll up the pathway it opens up in the heart of the town by the famous Turner House art gallery.
The clifftop is literally round the corner, where we regularly enjoy the incredible vistas towards Cardiff and the mountains beyond and across the channel. The clifftop is such an open space, it's lovely to blow away the cobwebs to restore balance and wellbeing. The clifftop leads naturally down to the beach, which is a wonderful step back in time to the Victorian heritage of Penarth. The pier offers a cinema, music events and all sorts of community focused activities. The promenade itself houses an exciting selection of eateries and cafes.
The town and beach are connected by various Victorian parks that creates a wonderfully verdant setting for this seaside retreat town, historically known as The Garden by The Sea. Penarth has its own microclimate, which favours clement weather and the fresh sea air.
Penarth is a vibrant community focused seaside town with pretty much everything you need on the doorstep. Cardiff is a hop and a skip away and offers all the cultural attractions and sights that the capital city of Wales has to offer, including the rich cosmopolitan vibe of Cardiff Bay, which is easily accessed by foot along the barrage.
We have adored living in this beautiful and versatile home. I lived here for a few years on my own initially, before my partner and his two children happily moved in. During that time on my own I felt completely safe and secure. Then, as a family, It has been such a wonderfully harmonious and tranquil space to live and grow for so many years. It is so peaceful and the current layout has been perfect for our maturing family to ensure that we have had rooms each to ourselves adding privacy and comfort to suit our eclectic needs.
Our neighbours in the close are absolutely delightful. We have been living here twelve years and during that time everyone subtly looks out for one another, without being in each other's pockets. Our new next door neighbours have created an eco home, which is very exciting to see the potential. As the close is a dead end there is no through traffic, which adds to the safety and peacefulness that The Paddocks offers.
Having lived in other homes in Penarth and Cardiff, the huge amount of off road parking, enough for four cars at the front of the house, is such a luxury to know that how many visitors we have, they always have somewhere safe to park up, which is a real bonus.
The extensive front garden gives the home privacy and a cosiness with the tropical plants. The back garden is a sun trap, enjoying sunshine all day and making a super social space for sunsets and evening barbecues.
The youngsters are now grown up and we are ready to move on to pastures new to be nearer family, but we will be so sad to leave Rowan and Penarth and all that the house and area offer. There will be a beautiful energy awaiting the new custodians of this wonderful home.
