The Pontcanna region, affectionately known as the ‘Chelsea of Cardiff’, was
recently described by the Daily Telegraph as one of the trendiest spots in the UK.
On the outer fringes of Pontcanna, on the desirable tree-lined Cathedral Road and
within an important conservation area, lies Cathedral House.
This is a residential setting without equal – beautiful Victorian townhouses, mature trees
and neatly trimmed hedgerows all adding to the authentic kerb appeal. Sophia Gardens,
the River Taff, Cardiff Castle and the Millennium Stadium are literally moments away
and almost all that the city has to offer is within walking distance.
Cathedral House offers an exquisite selection of two bedroom apartments and a
stunning penthouse, with far-reaching views across the rooftops and over the city
towards Cardiff Bay.
Cardiff has received many accolades in recent months including being awarded the
best quality of life, the best city to live in, the best city for young adults and for
offering the best value.
Things have definitely been on the up since Cardiff became the capital of Wales in 1955.
Gone is much of its industrial past, replaced by gleaming new developments, a buoyant and
confident commercial centre and a growing reputation as one of the UK’s top destinations.
The Welsh National Assembly and Millennium Centre on the rejuvenated Cardiff Bay
waterfront and the fabulous city-centre sports stadiums give Cardiff the feel of an
international capital. On rugby match days the city is alive with good-natured fervour,
especially when Wales meet their arch rivals England. This sociable, compact, atmospheric
city has emerged as one of the greats of the 21st century.
* Cardiff was voted top city in a ‘Quality of Life’ index commissioned by MoneySuperMarket.com.

Cathedral House lies under a mile from the prestigious pedestrianised shopping precincts centred around
Cardiff Castle on Queen Street, Mary Street and The Hayes. Head to St David’s for designer brands
including Hugo Boss, Armani Exchange, Kurt Geiger and the largest John Lewis outside of London.
The Victorian arcades and the indoor market offer a profusion of independent outlets, upmarket lifestyle stores,
artisan traders and cafes full of character. Cardiff’s excellent eateries are mainly assembled within the city
centre and in the captivating Mermaid Quay overlooking Cardiff Bay. This is one of the city’s most cosmopolitan
settings with sophisticated boutique shops and a vibrant nightlife as well as a chic range of international
restaurants. Mermaid Quay also hosts a variety of events from art festivals to outdoor theatre and is the perfect
place to clear the cobwebs on a lazy Sunday morning.

SOarING aBOVE tHE rOOftOPS IN ONE Of CardIff’S PrIME
rESIdENtIaL arEaS, tHE PENtHOUSE at CatHEdraL HOUSE IS
SIMPLY SPECtaCULar
The upper floors of Cathedral House provide a spectacular vantage point and with no other buildings of this height
in this part of Cardiff, the views are uninterrupted. The impressive penthouse forms the icing on the cake,
occupying the entire eighth storey generating rooms infused with bright and natural light.
A terrace wraps around the perimeter of the Penthouse providing 360° degree access, with space to entertain or just a
vantage point to admire the unrivalled views. To the north and east are Cardiff’s green lung, the combined acres of Sofia
Gardens, Bute Park and Pontcanna Fields and the meandering River Taff alongside the unmistakable outline of Cardiff
Castle. Three of the city’s magnificent stadia can be seen – Swalec Cricket Stadium, Cardiff City Football Stadium and the
magnificent Millennium Stadium home of Welsh rugby union. To the south-east are the city centre rooftops and in the
distance the wide expanse of Cardiff Bay.
The penthouse offers a unique proposition – a contemporary, lifestyle-led home with a superb internal specification and
beautifully proportioned rooms in a residential region acknowledged for its fine period properties.
