15 St. Fagans Drive“We were first attracted to this lovely village.” says Frances “St. Fagans gives you the best of both worlds as it is surrounded by green and on the edge of open countryside but only approximately five miles away from the city centre of Cardiff.”

“St. Fagans is an active community and the area has many places to enjoy and easy access to the countryside for walks,” continues Bryan. “The local area has everything you could possibly need, including a lovely village pub restaurant with other facilities, including restaurants and shops, just a short distance away. One of Wales’ most popular attractions, The National History Museum, is within walking distance and all our visitors love going there. The area has many highly reputable schools and transport links are easily accessible. Also, the local bus service runs into the centre of Cardiff.”

“Since moving into the property in 1986 we have extended by adding a lovely, spacious conservatory,” says Frances. “The house was originally built in a 1970s style and so we did a lot of re-decoration in all of the rooms to bring it right up to date and to keep it looking immaculate and tidy. My favourite room now is the conservatory, as it opens onto the stunning garden and gives you that ideal link between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The garden benefits from being a fantastic size and it has been well maintained. There is a fish pond and waterfall in the garden area as well. It is so peaceful and is lovely in the summer months to relax outside and listen to the birds.”

“We are going to miss everything about the house when we leave,” continues Frances. “We love that the house has such fantastic living accommodation, with a total of four bedrooms, plus enough space on the driveway for parking several cars. So the house is particularly good for when friends and family stay with us; there is enough room for everyone. Over the years we have had many parties here; we had up to 100 guests before and the house easily accommodated this. It is a very sociable house and brilliant for entertaining purposes.”

“This would make a great family home for either a couple or a family looking for a friendly and active community, with easy access to both countryside and facilities,” conclude Frances and Bryan. “This is a particularly safe, welcoming environment and is so quiet and peaceful. We would stay here forever if we could but are sure the next owners will be just as happy here as we have been.”*

MAIN DESCRIPTIONA stunning example of modern architecture, situated within a historic village. This 1970’s built, extended property is situated off of a small crescent, on a quiet cul-de-sac.

Offering a sprawling ground floor, comprising a 31ft lounge, dining room, conservatory, games room, kitchen, utility room, cloakroom WC and integral garage. The first floor features a master bedroom with en suite shower room, three further bedrooms and family bathroom.

LOCATION DESCRIPTIONSt. Fagans village is rich in history, and is the home of St Fagans Castle and the National History Museum, both superb, free-to-access visitors’ attractions. The Castle is a former stately home, built in the 1500’s on the site of a medieval castle. Now restored to its former glory and presented as it would have been in the 19th Century, its immaculate formal gardens open into the National History Museum. The open-air museum contains the relocated structures of culturally important buildings from across Wales, including a medieval Church, a village schoolhouse, a saw house and a terrace of Ironworkers cottages. Beside these beautiful buildings, the village features the Parish Church of St Mary, the pub/restaurant, The Plymouth Arms and The Old Post House; a B & B that also holds functions and events.
