A Rare Opportunity in Prestigious Charlotte Square 

Nestled within the highly sought-after Charlotte Square, No. 23 presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a home in one of the most prestigious and rarely available locations. A place where history, community, and potential come together, this four-bedroom semi detached home is waiting for the next family to create their own lifelong memories.

Built as part of an exclusive development in the early 20th century, Charlotte Square has always been a place of distinction. Over the decades, the square has nurtured a strong and welcoming community, something the current owners have cherished for nearly six decades.

Stepping through the door, you’re greeted by generous proportions and endless possibilities. The home features four double bedrooms, two spacious reception rooms, and a large kitchen, offering the perfect canvas to modernise and make your own. The shower room and separate toilet lend themselves to being transformed into a luxurious family bathroom. Outside, a long private driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, while the expansive rear garden, lined with mature trees and shrubs, offers wonderful privacy and room to extend if desired. A garage with a pitched roof completes the picture, ensuring ample storage for any growing family.

This is a home where lifelong friendships are made and where generations grow together. The current owner recalls, “We moved into No. 23 in 1967. I was only five years old, but I still remember how enormous the house seemed compared to our old home. Straight away, I made so many friends, all living in the square, all around the same age. It was the safest place in the world to grow up.”

Charlotte Square isn’t just a location—it’s a lifestyle. The lush green at the heart of the square has long been a gathering place for children playing football, hide and seek, and even hosting Jubilee celebrations with trestle tables stretching around the road. Christmases here are described as magical, “like a snowy Christmas card,” while summer brings barbecues, paddling pools, and endless sunshine in the spacious gardens.

For families, the location is unparalleled. With excellent schools, local parks, and Church just a short stroll away, every convenience is at your fingertips. As children grow, the Butcher’s Arms, a historic local pub, becomes a familiar landmark, just as it did for past generations. And even in recent years, the strong community spirit remains, as the owner recalls, “During Covid, my mum and many of her lovely neighbours formed a ‘hub’—sitting in her front garden, 2m apart, drinking tea, and putting the world to rights.”

Beyond its personal charm, Charlotte Square boasts excellent transport links, with easy access to Cardiff city centre, major road networks, and nearby train stations. Whether commuting to work or exploring the surrounding countryside, this location strikes a perfect balance between urban convenience and peaceful suburban living.

Inside, the home itself is brimming with potential. The spacious reception rooms, with their high ceilings and large windows, create a bright and airy atmosphere. The kitchen is ready to be transformed into the heart of the home, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. Each of the four double bedrooms offers generous proportions, with the front-facing rooms enjoying picturesque views over the square. The shower room and separate toilet could be combined to create a modern family bathroom, designed to suit contemporary living.

The outdoor space is just as impressive. The long private driveway ensures ample parking, making it ideal for multi-car families or guests. The rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn, is a secluded haven framed by mature trees and shrubbery. It offers a safe and peaceful retreat for children to play and for adults to relax. With the potential to extend the property (subject to planning permissions), the possibilities for this home are endless.

One of the most remarkable aspects of living in Charlotte Square is the sense of belonging. The current owner reminisces about the joy of growing up here, saying, “The friendships I made in the square have lasted a lifetime. We would camp out in each other’s gardens, run to the stream by All Saints Church, and later, as we got older, meet at the Butcher’s Arms. Even now, I remain best friends with someone I met here 50 years ago.”

This home has witnessed decades of laughter, celebrations, and togetherness, from festive Christmas gatherings with neighbours to lively New Year’s Eve parties that lasted until dawn. As the owner reflects, “Mum and Dad always made sure no one spent Christmas alone. There would be at least 12-14 of us around the dining table, sharing food, laughter, and stories.”

Now, No. 23 Charlotte Square is ready for a new chapter. With its rich history, strong community spirit, and outstanding potential, it offers a unique opportunity to create a forever home in one of the most desirable locations in the area.
