Highfield Terrace, Pontypridd

James Douglas is thrilled to welcome this architecturally designed four-bedroom detached family home to the market. Built in 1966 by the architect for his own occupation, this truly unique residence is being offered for sale for the first time in 38 years and occupies an enviable elevated position overlooking Pontypridd town centre, enjoying spectacular panoramic views from virtually every room, as well as the gardens and patio areas. This exceptional home combines timeless design with exciting potential, making it a rare opportunity for families looking for something truly special.
Accessed via steps leading to the first-floor entrance, the property immediately showcases its distinctive 'upside-down' design, carefully planned to maximise the breathtaking outlook across the valley. The welcoming entrance hallway provides access to a convenient WC, a well-appointed kitchen and an extended dining room, ideal for entertaining family and friends. The generous living room is undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home, where large windows perfectly frame the uninterrupted views, creating an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons. Access to bedroom four/office is directly from the living room, future proofing any prospective buyer whilst continuing to offer those spectacular views.
Stairs descend to the ground floor where you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexible accommodation for growing families, home working or guest space. The principal bathroom serves the bedrooms, whilst internal access is also available to the integral garage.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The beautifully manicured front, side and rear gardens have been lovingly maintained and are complemented by lush lawns, attractive chipping areas, mature trees and established shrubbery, along with two decked seating areas perfectly positioned to enjoy the spectacular scenery. There is also access to a handy storage room located directly underneath the extension. The east-facing rear garden provides a wonderful setting for morning coffee and summer entertaining while taking full advantage of the unrivalled outlook.
The home is approached via a private gated driveway, shared with just one neighbouring property, and offers off-road parking for multiple vehicles in addition to the integral garage. Further enhancing its future potential, the property previously benefitted from planning permission (now lapsed) to extend to the side, creating larger ground floor bedrooms should a purchaser wish to explore this opportunity again (STPP).
Additional benefits include freehold tenure, a Johnson & Starley WarmCair C16 warm air central heating system, and a layout unlike anything else currently available on the local market.
Properties of this calibre, with such an iconic position and remarkable views, rarely become available. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate the architectural design, generous accommodation, beautifully landscaped grounds and outstanding potential that Porthkerry House has to offer.
