Notes from the owner
We’ve lived in our lovely home for 50 years and have had so many happy family times here. We love Penarth. We moved to Meliden Road all those years ago with our young family because it was ideally situated for the best schools, local shops, the railway station and the park and because it’s just a short stroll to the town centre and the seafront. The road is quiet and welcoming but so central to all the action. The house is solidly built, warm and insulated, and virtually sound-proof to the neighbours. Even piano practice didn’t filter through! We also love our secluded sunny garden at the back and the fruit trees we planted when we moved here - our little orchard. As our children grew, we also had parking space for the cars our family acquired, with the double garage. Fast forward to 2024 and as you can imagine it’s taken a while to decide it’s time to let this house go. Our lives have matured and our children have long moved away. The time is right to say Goodbye to the house now. We’re ready for the next chapter in our lives. We’ve come full circle in 50 years, buying this house from David Baker Snr and selling through Richard Baker, his son. We hope the next owners will make lasting happy memories here, as we have, and maybe breathe new life into the house with the help of the Planning Permission we’ve secured. We wish them well.
