Property description
Set over three floors this outstanding Victorian Gentleman's Residence offers spacious well proportioned seven bedroom family accommodation which has been tastefully renovated with a view of retaining the original charm and character of the period.
Dating back to 1882 the house was built on land owned by Lord Tredegar, a veteran of the Charge of the Light Brigade, and still bears the crest of the Davies family who built it and lived in it until 1962. Infact the property has only been on the open market three times. The Stow Park Circle house is adorned with a wealth of period features from its exquisite plaster ceiling cornices, wall and ceiling mouldings through to an oak panelled drawing room and two Minster Bath stone fireplaces.
The garden, with its expansive lawn, and mass of snowdrops and bluebells in the spring, has been ideal for summer garden parties, as well as for quiet outdoor meals with the family. those who built in the area had shipping interests. Many Doctor Who stories since have been filmed on location here, including the 2008 and 2009 Christmas specials.
Despite the tranquillity of the setting, it is possible to reach an intercity mainline train station within 10 minutes which brings Cardiff, Bristol and London within easy commuting distance, and the M4 junction is just a short drive. The electrification of the South Wales railway line is already underway and when completed London Paddington will be reached in 1 hour and 20 minutes.
