"An impressive barn conversion with versatile accommodation

Description

The Barn in Leckwith is a charming and versatile six bedroom barn conversion dating back to the mid 19th Century. It is set within a generous plot of approximately 0.44 acres and includes an additional field of around 5.2 acres. This property is ideally situated, offering the tranquillity of rural living while being conveniently close to Cardiff City Centre, the A4232, and the M4 Motorway.
The main house was converted in the mid 1990s and extended in the early 2000s, with the extension designed by the renowned local Penarth based architect, Chris Loyn. This blend of historical character and modern design creates a unique and inviting home.
Upon entering, you are greeted by an inviting entrance hall that leads to two spacious living rooms, perfect for relaxation and entertaining. The kitchen breakfast room is well appointed and opens into a dining room, creating a warm and welcoming space for family meals. Additionally, there is a study that can also serve as an extra bedroom, along with two more bedrooms on the ground floor. One of these bedrooms is particularly spacious and features an en suite bathroom, providing a private retreat. The ground floor also includes a utility room and a convenient downstairs cloakroom.
The first floor of the main house boasts a mezzanine landing that leads to two generously sized double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom.
To the rear of the property where it was extended, there is a versatile open plan kitchen living room, which is very modern and features doors that open out to a seating area outside, as well as an additional utility room and shower room.
Upstairs in this section, there are two bedrooms, both with en suite facilities.
Externally, the property benefits from a large driveway that provides ample off road parking for several vehicles. Beyond the driveway, there is a detached double garage with an adjoining workshop, offering additional storage and workspace. The Barn also features a central courtyard garden and a rear garden, providing plenty of outdoor space for relaxation and recreation.
Overall, The Barn combines historical charm with modern amenities, making it an ideal family home. Its versatile layout offers numerous possibilities for customisation to suit various needs and lifestyles.
With the paddock across the lane, it could be used for equestrian purposes with countryside and City views. It has a lovely rural feel, yet is with close proximity to the amenities of Cardiff.
