Cardiff: There are hidden lanes near Cardiff that many people don’t know about. Explore these lanes, and you’ll find charming hamlets and beautiful views.
Just west of Cardiff is the Vale of Glamorgan. This area has unique homes that are a short commute to Cardiff, Penarth, and Barry. It feels like a peaceful escape from the busy city.
At the Culverhouse Cross roundabout, ignore the big stores like Tesco and Marks & Spencer. Instead, take a lane that leads to quiet hamlets, where you can forget the city hustle.
One of these hamlets is St Lythans. Before you reach it, stop by the Horse & Jockey pub in Twyn-yr-Odyn. Then, continue your journey to find an interesting auction property.
This property is called Reservoir House. It’s a lovely red brick home at the end of a private driveway. The house sits in a large garden with stunning views of fields and the Wenvoe transmitter nearby.
Reservoir House was once the caretaker’s home, but the original reservoir is no longer visible. A little research shows that it used to be east of Wenvoe but has since been filled in.
Gemma Vaughan, from the auction house, says this three-bedroom house is a great opportunity. It’s been modernized and is close to St Lythans, making it perfect for commuting.
The house features a welcoming hallway with a charming brick archway. It leads to a home office, living room, and a kitchen on the upper floor. There are three spacious bedrooms upstairs.
Gemma also mentioned a planning proposal to replace Reservoir House with two new homes. The pre-application number is 2019/00164/PRE.
The house is listed for £350,000-plus by Paul Fosh Auctions. Bidding starts at noon on February 4 and ends at 5 PM on February 6. Call 01633 254044 for more details.
