4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Cae Mawr Road, Rhiwbina, Cardiff CF14

Positioned along one of the most desirable streets in Rhiwbina, number 8 Caermawr Road is a home that immediately communicates warmth, heritage and possibility. This four-bedroom semi-detached property has been thoughtfully maintained, allowing its original character to shine while offering the comfort and practicality modern family life demands. It is a house that feels settled and reassuring, yet full of opportunity - the kind of place where future plans naturally begin to take shape.

The approach sets the tone. A handsome frontage and solid wood front door hint at the craftsmanship within, and stepping inside reveals a bright, spacious hallway where mosaic tiled flooring creates an instant sense of arrival. Light moves easily through the space, drawing you towards the principal living areas and offering that familiar feeling of a home that has been cared for across generations.

The front reception room is both elegant and inviting. Original wood block flooring runs underfoot, grounding the room with warmth and texture, while a large box bay window fitted with plantation-style shutters fills the space with soft natural light throughout the day. A brick feature fireplace forms a natural focal point, and fitted cabinetry within the alcoves provides beautifully integrated storage with shelving and cupboard space. It is a room that adapts effortlessly - quiet mornings with coffee, evenings gathered with family, or relaxed entertaining with friends.

A connecting door leads through to the rear reception, currently arranged as a dining room, where the home’s character continues to unfold. The original wood block flooring flows seamlessly into this space, creating a sense of continuity, while a charming original picture rail wraps the room and speaks to the home’s heritage. The chimney breast houses log burner set above a slate hearth, bringing both atmosphere and practicality during the colder months. At the rear, a bay window incorporating French doors opens onto the patio, allowing summer air and garden views to become part of everyday living.

The layout naturally transitions into the kitchen, creating a sociable arrangement that supports modern family routines. Slate flooring adds durability and contrast, while off-white shaker-style cabinetry provides a timeless finish. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, a five-burner gas hob with extractor above, dishwasher, washing machine and space for an American-style fridge freezer. There is a sense here of a kitchen that works hard without losing its charm - somewhere cooking, conversation and daily life overlap with ease. Tucked neatly beneath the stairs, a contemporary cloakroom with a low-level WC and wall-hung wash hand basin completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first floor continues the home’s balanced feel, offering three well-proportioned bedrooms. Two generous doubles provide comfortable retreats, both benefiting from fitted wardrobe space that keeps the rooms uncluttered and functional. The front principal bedroom enjoys the same distinctive box bay window with plantation shutters seen below, creating a light-filled space that feels calm and restful. The second double overlooks the garden, offering a quieter aspect and equally practical storage. A third bedroom to the front provides flexibility - ideal as a nursery, home office, dressing room or guest space depending on the needs of its owners.

The family bathroom has been styled to complement the property’s character while delivering contemporary comfort. A traditional white suite sits alongside crisp white metro tiling, and a clawfoot roll-top bath with glass screen creates a focal point that feels both classic and indulgent. Dual shower heads, including a rainfall fitting, ensure the space works as well for busy mornings as it does for slower evening routines.

Rising to the top floor, the loft conversion introduces bedroom four - a bright, airy space defined by natural light from Velux windows and a sense of privacy that makes it particularly versatile. There is ample room for a double bed and additional bedroom furniture, while access to eaves storage provides valuable practicality. An ensuite toilet with wash hand basin adds convenience, making this an ideal principal suite, teenage retreat or guest room that feels comfortably separate from the rest of the home.

Outside, the garden is a standout feature and one that significantly enhances the property’s long-term appeal. Larger than average due to additional land acquired by previous owners, it offers a rare sense of openness and privacy. A generous patio creates an immediate entertaining area before giving way to an expansive lawn bordered by mature hedges, shrubs and trees that frame the space beautifully. It is easy to imagine children playing, long summer evenings outdoors, and seasonal changes bringing different textures and colours to the setting.

Importantly, the scale of the plot creates clear potential for extension. Many neighbouring homes have squared off the rear to create substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and family spaces, and this property offers similar opportunity without compromising the garden. For buyers seeking a home they can evolve over time, the possibilities here are both practical and exciting. Off-road parking at the front, together with a garage, ensures everyday convenience matches the lifestyle on offer.

The setting plays an equally important role in the story of this home. Located within one of Cardiff’s most loved residential villages, Rhiwbina offers a rare blend of community, connectivity and green surroundings. Independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities sit alongside well-regarded schools and open spaces, creating an environment that naturally supports family life. There is a genuine village feel - neighbours who know one another, familiar faces on school runs, weekends spent locally - while the city centre remains easily accessible.

Homes on Caermawr Road are particularly sought after because they offer that combination buyers often hope for but rarely find, character properties with space to grow, positioned within a settled and welcoming neighbourhood. This is not simply a house to move into; it is a home that can adapt alongside its owners, supporting changing routines, expanding families and new ambitions.

Beautifully presented, thoughtfully maintained and set within one of the area’s most desirable streets, this is a home ready for its next chapter. For buyers seeking character, community and the reassurance of a property that can grow with them, number 8 Caermawr Road offers something genuinely special - a place where life can settle, evolve and feel unmistakably like home.

Anti Money Laundering Regulations

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property as prescribed by the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Coadjute who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £54 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Coadjute, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Coadjute to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
