Welcome to New Haven
Tucked away along Newport Road in Old St Mellons, Cardiff, New Haven is a home built with heart. Designed and constructed by the current owners in the mid-1980s, it’s a property that has seen decades of joyful family life — and now it’s ready for a new chapter. Set within approximately 0.44 acres, this detached home offers over 2,800 square feet of versatile living space, ideal for a growing family seeking room to expand, entertain and relax.
Arrive in Style
Approaching via a private block-paved driveway edged with floral beds, you’re met with a generous parking area that comfortably accommodates up to 8 cars. A detached double garage offers excellent storage or workshop space. Steps lead down to the glazed entrance — giving a subtle nod to the unique architectural touches within.
Light-Filled Living
Step through the front door and you’re immediately struck by the abundance of light and space. The large central hallway features laminate wood flooring and a mid-century inspired staircase, with large rooms leading off in every direction.
The primary living room is positioned to the front, with wide windows drawing in natural light and patio doors that open out onto the rear garden. It’s a welcoming, warm space — the kind of room you can truly unwind in with a roaring fire on winter nights.
Versatile Living Spaces
New Haven is unique in its flexibility. In addition to the main lounge and formal dining room, there’s a second sitting room on the opposite side of the home. Originally intended as a granny flat, it has evolved over the years from playroom to games den, and could just as easily be a home office, studio, gym or teenage retreat. All reception rooms feature direct access to the garden, blending indoor comfort with outdoor enjoyment.
A Social Kitchen
The kitchen/breakfast room sits at the heart of the home, with wood-effect units, a breakfast bar, and plenty of space for a family table. Sliding patio doors make al fresco breakfasts and BBQs an easy part of daily life. There’s a separate utility room for laundry and white goods, along with a generously sized downstairs WC — with enough space to add a shower if desired.
Upstairs Accommodation
Head up to the first floor where the landing opens out to reveal four excellent bedrooms, each with leafy green views and built-in wardrobes.
The principal bedroom includes a tiled ensuite with vanity unit, WC and bath. The remaining three bedrooms are a mix of spacious doubles and a generous single, all ideal for growing families or those working from home.
The family bathroom is particularly luxurious, with a corner jacuzzi bath, walk-in shower and Velux window, offering a spa-like retreat at the end of the day.
Outside Oasis
This garden is truly something special. South-facing and measuring around 0.44 acres, it has hosted everything from children's football matches to summer garden parties. Mature trees and hedgerows provide privacy, while a charming pond attracts wildlife, adding to the tranquillity.
Whether you're looking to enjoy a quiet morning coffee surrounded by birdsong, or entertain friends with a summer BBQ, this garden is ready for it all.
Community & Location
Old St Mellons is a highly desirable area on the outskirts of Cardiff. Offering the best of both worlds — peaceful residential surroundings with excellent connections — it’s easy to see why families love it here. Schools, shops, and leisure facilities are all within a short distance. A nearby bus stop offers direct routes into the city centre, and the train station provides commuter links further afield. There are also welcoming local pubs just a short walk away.
A Home with Heart
New Haven is more than just a property. It's a home that has been filled with love, laughter and family — and now, it's waiting for its next chapter. With room to grow, space to personalise, and a layout that adapts to modern living, it offers a rare opportunity in a sought-after location.
