Property description
The Pontcanna region, affectionately known as the 'Chelsea of Cardiff', was recently described by the Daily Telegraph as one of the trendiest spots in the UK.
On the outer fringes of Pontcanna, on the desirable tree-lined Cathedral Road and
within an important conservation area, lies Cathedral House.
This is a residential setting without equal - beautiful Victorian townhouses, mature trees
and neatly trimmed hedgerows all adding to the authentic kerb appeal. Sophia Gardens,
the River Taff, Cardiff Castle and the Millennium Stadium are literally moments away and almost all that the city has to offer is within walking distance.
Cathedral House offers an exquisite selection of two bedroom apartments and a stunning penthouse, with far-reaching views across the rooftops and over the city towards Cardiff Bay.
Cardiff has received many accolades in recent months including being awarded the best quality of life, the best city to live in, the best city for young adults and for offering the best value.
Things have definitely been on the up since Cardiff became the capital of Wales in 1955.
Gone is much of its industrial past, replaced by gleaming new developments, a buoyant and
confident commercial centre and a growing reputation as one of the UK's top destinations.
The Welsh National Assembly and Millennium Centre on the rejuvenated Cardiff Bay
waterfront and the fabulous city-centre sports stadiums give Cardiff the feel of an international capital. On rugby match days the city is alive with good-natured fervour,
especially when Wales meet their arch rivals England. This sociable, compact, atmospheric
city has emerged as one of the greats of the 21st century.
Cathedral House lies under a mile from the prestigious pedestrianised shopping precincts centred around Cardiff Castle on Queen Street, Mary Street and The Hayes. Head to St David's for designer brands including Hugo Boss, Armani Exchange, Kurt Geiger and the largest John Lewis outside of London.
The Victorian arcades and the indoor market offer a profusion of independent outlets, upmarket lifestyle stores, artisan traders and cafes full of character. Cardiff's excellent eateries are mainly assembled within the city centre and in the captivating Mermaid Quay overlooking Cardiff Bay. This is one of the city's most cosmopolitan settings with sophisticated boutique shops and a vibrant nightlife as well as a chic range of international restaurants. Mermaid Quay also hosts a variety of events from art festivals to outdoor theatre and is the perfect place to clear the cobwebs on a lazy Sunday morning.
