Situation And History
Cefn Mably House is steeped in history, originally the seat of the Kemeys family until the early 20th century. Most of the building was undertaken by Edward Kemeys in the late 16th Century. The Grade II Listed property was redeveloped about 12 years ago into 13 luxury apartments. Due to the listing most of the original features have been restored to provide elegant luxurious apartments in an unique parkland setting.
The interior retains the 16th Century Hall which is now a residents’ private sitting room with its finely moulded ceiling beams and full height panelling to the walls. It is a fine reception room which is retained for the sole use of the residents of the apartments.
Cefn Mably House is an integral part of the exclusive Cefn Mably Country Park development of private houses and apartments set in approximately 15 acres of parkland. The apartments have approximately three acres of historic parkland for their own use.
Cefn Mably County Park is ideally situated within minutes of J30 of the M4 and enjoys a peaceful country environment. Access is either from the M4 junction, or Began Road in old St. Mellons, allowing equal access to city and country. There is a large retail development at Cardiff Gate, only minutes away. Cardiff Wales International Airport is about 14 miles to the west. There are ample recreational opportunities nearby such as golf courses at St Mellons, Cyncoed, Lisvane and Llanishen and several leisure centres within a short drive.
