Description
Originally constructed in 1894 by the esteemed Hallet family, renowned local shipbuilders, this exquisite estate embodies timeless elegance reminiscent of E.W.M. Corbett's architectural mastery.

Steeped in history, Radyr Chain served as the esteemed residence for successive Vice Chancellors of Cardiff University for over three decades, adding a distinguished chapter to its legacy.

For the connoisseur of fine living, two cellars provide the ideal sanctuary for storage and wine enthusiasts alike.
Outside, the expansive south-facing gardens extend to 1.74 acres and beckon with manicured lawns embraced by a tapestry of mature trees, including majestic Wellingtonias, Cedar, Maidenhair, and a Tulip Tree, many protected by Tree Preservation Orders.
Nestled within the former Stable Block, two charming lodges await, each offering a harmonious blend of modern comfort and historic allure. Both feature well-appointed living spaces, kitchens, each with three bedrooms, and bathrooms, providing an enchanting retreat for guests or income from rental.
