The unassuming Cardiff home with a major surprise in the back garden

An unassuming Cardiff home has recently come to the market with a surprising feature in its back garden. This detached property, situated in the quiet community of Lisvane, is listed for just under £1 million at £999,950. At first glance, the exterior of the five-bedroom house appears modest and typical for the area, but it holds a remarkable secret.

The traditional-looking family home in Lisvane hides a covered, heated swimming pool in its garden, a luxury not commonly found in city suburbs. Inside, the property seamlessly blends characterful old touches with a modern aesthetic, featuring a bespoke open-plan kitchen and family room.

The ground floor includes spacious living areas such as a dining room, kitchen, lounge, and a utility room that leads to the impressive back garden with the heated outdoor pool. Upstairs, five bedrooms, including a grand master bedroom with its own balcony, provide ample living space.

The first floor also features a main bathroom with luxurious amenities such as a Jacuzzi corner bath. Outside, the garden offers a landscaped lawn, sun terrace, and a decked area leading to the heated swimming pool. Marketed as “useable all year round,” the pool adds an extra touch of luxury to the property.

This stunning home named The Woodlands is currently on the market with a guide price of £999,950 through Peter Alan, Llanishen. With its 3000 square feet of living space and proximity to woodland and reserve areas, this property offers a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a blend of modern comfort and natural beauty in Cardiff.
