Y Cerigos – A Peaceful Coastal Retreat

Welcome...

Y Cerigos offers a quiet retreat, a peaceful sanctuary, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Enjoy early morning walks along the nearby pebble beach to set you up for the day, or lazy summer afternoons meandering through the nearby parks, or watching the swans glide gracefully across the marine pond. An idyllic setting that sounds too good to be true, as if you are living in a permanent holiday without stress or strife.

For those seeking a balance between convenience and calm, this property provides the best of both worlds. With the sea on your doorstep, the town within walking distance, and Cardiff just a short train ride away, Y Cerigos is the kind of home where you can truly slow down without compromising on lifestyle.

Privacy and Community

The gated residence ensures privacy and security, with maintained gardens and allocated parking for 2 cars as well as additional visitor spaces for when guests come to stay, which they surely will. There is a real sense of community spirit among the residents who regularly get together for summer parties and celebrations.

Unlike many modern developments, Y Cerigos strikes the perfect balance between independence and neighbourly warmth. Whether you prefer to keep to yourself or become part of the friendly community, you’ll find the atmosphere here both welcoming and respectful.

A Ground Floor Home With Space to Grow

The property is situated on the ground floor, and offers a blank canvas for the lucky new owner to make their mark. The entrance door opens up into a hallway with storage cupboards for shoes and coats. Practical touches like this make daily life effortless, ensuring that everything has its place.

For downsizers, the ground floor position adds ease of access. For professionals or families, it provides peace of mind and a practical layout that flows naturally from one space to the next.

Let There Be Light...

The living space is open plan, with a large window and two sets of French doors leading out onto a private balcony. This room is spacious, filled with light and offers wonderful views filled with leafy greens and azure blues. There is plenty of room for comfortable seating and dining space, ensuring you have ample space for relaxation and entertainment.

This room is arranged in a generous L-shape, giving it natural zones for lounging, dining, and working from home if needed. It is a layout that makes entertaining easy and everyday living effortless.

The decked balcony is private and the perfect spot to sit and read with your early morning cup of coffee, or enjoy a tipple as the sun sets. This balcony is an excellent extension to the living space, and the fact that it is covered allows you to use it in all weathers. Imagine getting cosy under blankets with a hot cup of tea and with the sound of raindrops falling on the lake.

Kitchen...

Off the main living space, separated by glazing and double doors, is the well-equipped kitchen. A range of wood-effect units is fitted with plenty of storage and workspace. There is an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher as well as a double oven, hob and microwave.

For those who enjoy cooking, the kitchen’s layout makes preparing meals a pleasure. Its separation from the living space means that cooking aromas remain contained, while the glazed doors still allow you to stay connected with guests or family in the adjoining room.

Bedrooms...

Each of the three bedrooms is spacious and measures at a very generous double. At the rear of the property, overlooking the lake, is the principal bedroom, with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room. The en suite has simple white tiles, a shower cubicle, a wash hand basin in a vanity unit and a WC.

Next is a second bedroom, which is a similar size and has the same fantastic views. Finally, the third bedroom sits at the front of the property and is located next door to the house bathroom.

For versatility, the bedrooms could easily serve as a guest room, home office, or hobby room, giving you the flexibility to adapt the space as your lifestyle evolves.

Bathroom...

The house bathroom has a bath, with a shower above, a wash hand basin, and a WC set within a vanity unit, offering excellent storage. Neutral finishes make it a practical and timeless space that can be styled to suit personal tastes.

Outdoor Living and Natural Beauty
