The vibrant city centre is 6 miles to the south. Accessed via one of two sets of remote gates, the access road sweeps through 3 acres of well-tended grounds .Tucked peacefully away, yet access to supermarkets is just minutes from the Park, with schools and other amenities, including sports, being available at St Mellons. Also, the vibrant city of Cardiff is only three miles away and is full of excellent shops and restaurants.
The city is renowned for its arts festivals and theatre, together with its ease of access to coastal resorts and to the outstanding countryside of Wales. The mainline station provides a service into Paddington of less than two hours and major roads and motorways are within easy reach.
**** The history of Cefn Mably house dates back 900 years, and has been the seat of numerous noble families throughout the centuries, all of which have had a significant influence on the area we now know.
In the process of restoration, the Chapel was given special consideration by renowned Welsh architect Michael Davies. Keen to retain the feeling of open space, he devised a mezzanine floor to retain the architectural feel of the main chapel whilst adding useable living space. The same architect was employed by the sole owners to add a modest extension to the upper section of the property, complimenting the original structure perfectly.
The result is a stunning example of a building steeped in history, full of unique character that has been sympathetically restored and devised for modern living.
Comprising a vaulted living room, kitchen and mezzanine bedroom in the main part of the Chapel, with an addition master bedroom with en-suite, further bathroom and family room to the upper level. Although the property has almost sole access to a good portion of the communal grounds, it also has a private elevated garden accessed from the family room.
