ocated in the highly desirable suburb of Cyncoed, Ashbrooke House is an outstanding detached property. Built to an exceptional standard around three years ago and superbly maintained by the present owners, its breathtaking design combines a contemporary aesthetic and specification with traditional materials and features. Offering just over 3,600 square feet of living space over two floors, the property is set back off Cyncoed Road, within a lovely plot bounded by mature trees. Double electric gates open onto a shared private drive which leads to a paved parking area, with space for several cars. Inside, you’ll find underfloor heating, an integrated Sonos sound system throughout and full height glazing, creating a light and airy space. On the ground floor are three luxurious reception rooms, two of which let in plenty of natural light. The principle living room is generously sized – a great space for entertaining – with a feature fireplace and bi-fold doors to the garden, and the family room, open-plan to the kitchen, is used as a spacious dining and living area, with tiled flooring and picture windows overlooking the rear and side gardens. There’s even – get this – a luxurious cinema room. The stylish kitchen, meanwhile, has been fitted with contemporary units and features a full range of integrated appliances, including a range cooker, two ovens and a fridge/freezer. There’s a handy utility room, too. And stairs lead from the double garage up to a games room, offering potential for a further bedroom or home office. A walnut cantilevered staircase takes you up to the first floor, where a generous landing – with more of that natural light – provides access to four good-sized bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom boasts a walk-in dressing room and quality en-suite, and the second bedroom also has 80 I CARDIFF LIFE I www.mediaclash.co.uk

The private, formal rear garden provides a patio area – ideal for alfresco dining – and lawn, with a further wooded area at the side of the house to relax in. There’s a stream at the bottom of the garden, too, another charming touch. It really doesn’t get much better than this.
