The fully fenced property is wired for a private gate, allowing for an enclosed compound-style living experience. The upstairs ocean-view deck is more than just an outdoor space—it features a beautifully designed living and dining area, seamlessly extending the exquisite interior to the outdoors. This breathtaking space creates a harmonious flow for both relaxation and entertaining, offering the perfect setting to enjoy Cardiff’s coastal beauty.
