Plasturton Avenue, Pontcanna, Cardiff, CF11 9HN

When it comes to Cardiff’s cafe culture, Pontcanna is the OG - you’ve got Thomas, Ground, Brava, Heaneys, Gorse, Pipes, the list goes on - and when it comes to living in Pontcanna, Plasturton is the OG. Well this house is on Plasturton Avenue but it’s not what you’re expecting, this one’s unconventional in all the best ways.

The Living room with its tall ceiling has a wide, shuttered bay window looking out across the tree-lined avenue. Then the open plan kitchen and dining room, the scene of many a lengthy dinner party, is a warm and inviting space with a door leading out to the garden. The kitchen is well equipped and has a Smeg stainless steel range oven. There is a utility and cloakroom as well as a large storage cupboard.

The charming idiosyncrasy continues on the first fooor where a large double bedroom spans the front of the house while the cottage-ceilinged second bedroom sits at the rear. There’s a stylish modern bathroom which has a bath with shower over.

On the top floor is the third double bedroom at the front of the house plus there’s a great galleried room straight from the landing which lends itself to a sitting room, study or occasional bedroom. A modern shower room has a wall mounted vanity and large shower cubicle. The top floor could combine beautifully as a large master suite or formalised into four bedrooms.

The charming walled front garden, such a feature of the Plasturton houses, sets it back comfortably from the road. While the rear courtyard garden provides great space for pre or post dinner drinks - plus there’s a gate out onto Pontcanna street where cafe culture adventures await.
