Situation - Nestled at the foot of the Garth Mountain, Gwaelod-Y-Garth is a charming semi-rural village offering a peaceful setting just a short distance from Cardiff. The village combines a close-knit community feel with surrounding open countryside, scenic hillside views, pub and primary school. The area is characterised by a blend of traditional cottages and modern homes, all set within a picturesque landscape.

The Village is well positioned for access to neighbouring villages such as Taff's Well and Pentyrch, this sought-after location offers both natural beauty and connectivity, making it an attractive choice for homeowners and commuters alike.

About The Property - Believed to date back to the early 19th Century, Ty Isaf is a large residence surrounded by its own grounds offering peace and tranquillity. Yet, just a stroll away from the local primary school, making it an ideal family home.

From the front door, the main entrance hallway connects to a utility space with WC. The gas-combi boiler is located here. The hallway continues through into the main living accommodation offering two large reception rooms. The larger reception room has a traditional stone fireplace with wood burning stove, shelving to one side of the chimney breast nook, and to the other, a staircase which leads to the largest bedroom. This room enjoys a dual aspect, with exposed ceiling beams, and links to a useful study - with its own access to the rear of the property. Located just off from the dining room, whereby the main staircase to the landing sits, is a sunny conservatory, offering elevated views to the south gardens, with also access out to the rear garden. The kitchen-breakfast room has been fitted with a range of traditional, solid shaker-style wall and base units with complementary work surfaces. With exposed ceiling beams, and quality pine flooring, this room has the most wonderful views over the grounds and further across the mountain.

To the first floor, there are four sizeable bedrooms. The largest bedroom as the benefit of its own staircase from the ground floor, an en-suite bathroom and walk-through dressing area. The other three bedrooms share use of the 3-piece family shower room.

Gardens And Grounds - Ty Isaf occupies a completely private plot equating to 1.4 acres, with surrounding elevated countryside views.

From its gated access, there is a long driveway which leads to the rear of the property providing ample off-road parking, with potential and space to further add additional outbuildings/garaging (subject to necessary planning consents). The property benefits from an established garden, richly planted with a variety of mature trees that provide both privacy and a wonderful sense of seclusion. The main entertaining spaces are centred around a large lawn with an extremely large patio occupying the southerly position - this sun terrace offers truly stunning panoramic views.
