Own this Grade II listed water tower and your modern-meets-historic property will be the talk of the neighbourhood

For something exceptional, historical yet stylish – not to mention award-winning architecturally – the Water Tower in Cardiff is hard to beat.

The classical features from this landmark Grade II listed building have been happily married to a sleek, contemporary internal design that maximises use of windows, light and space to deliver a spacious five-bedroom home that will thrill the lucky owner.

Original bricks have been mimicked in the modern sections of the house to ensure the whole property feels as one

A Total Home Technology System has been installed to provide that sought-after lifestyle of convenience and comfort: expect automated lighting and a Sonos sound system.

The kitchen has a glorious full-width window to keep the space light and bright

The ground floor reception rooms are all stylish, sleek and designed for ease of living. There is a spacious kitchen/breakfast area with a nearby utility room to hide away the white goods. There is a porcelain-tiled floor (with underfloor heating) and all the latest modern fittings and fixtures to make the kitchen – which has doors opening out to an external terrace – a natural hub of the house.

The dining space is intimate and classy – you may forget you’re not at a restaurant

Alongside the various dining areas, there is a comfortable living room with ample space for all the family and friends to gather. Even better, take them along to the cinema room and create the big screen experience in the comfort of your own home.

Curling up in the evening with a movie is going to get a lot more luxurious

Climb the stylish stairs that are bathed in natural light to find the five generous and smartly-designed bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms attached.

The five bedrooms are on the higher floors and have large windows to ensure they are bright and feel spacious

The bedrooms have the elegant effortless style of some of the world’s best hotels, although all maintaining their individual style. Of note is the room with bunk beds and a quirky modern design, demonstrating the range of interior design options for an owner keen to make their own mark.

Bedrooms can be playful too, with quirky window placing and some fun decor to suit younger family members

The second and third floors are occupied by the bedrooms and bathrooms, but climb further up to the tower to the fourth floor for one of the many sparkling gems in this idiosyncratic property. Yes, you’re very own bar.

It may be time to hire a bartender for your rooftop drinking establishment..

The bar has access (and more stairs) to reach the metaphorical and literal pinnacle of this glorious renovation: the roof terrace, complete with with fantastic 360 degree panoramic views over Cardiff and towards the Bristol Channel.

The top of the tower, now a roof terrace, provides unparalleled views across Cardiff

The gardens are landscaped and include a patio area for dining and entertaining outside when weather permits. All is secured behind electronic gates and the property sits on one of Cardiff’s most expensive residential streets – many properties cost over £1 million – in the suburb of Cyncoed. It’s close to Roath Park, with two of Cardiff’s most popular schools within easy reach (Cardiff High and Lakeside Primary), and there are a selection of pubs and restaurants in the vicinity (including one of Cardiff’s most loved Indian restaurants).

Mirrors and windows are used strategically throughout the property to optimise light levels and make this house feel larger than it is

The M5 motorway is a 15 minute drive away and nearby Heath has two railway stations for connections to Cardiff Central, from where trains to London take around 2 hours. For flights, Cardiff International Airport is a 45 minutes drive from the property.
