Hue dares wins!

FROM the front, this period semi-detached home looks welcoming and spacious but behind the front door there are rooms that are memorable Instagram-worthy spaces where the owner's obvious love for interiors has been allowed to blossom.

The agent selling the four-bedroom home on the outskirts of Caerphilly calls the design style "a playful mix of colour and texture". And when you combine this with original character, moments of visual drama and plenty of light cascading in through the sizeable windows, the home tour is full of memorable spaces that could even inspire people to be a shade braver or add more personality to their own abodes.

From pretty floor tiles to a sleek contemporary kitchen, from wall panelling to a sensational metallic statement bath, the house packs a visual punch that is full of things to see, tactile surfaces that you want to touch, and places where you feel compelled to linger.

Outside there are more spaces to gather and socialise when the weather allows, including an elevated, sun-splashed terrace at the front of the house with a mix of urban rooftop and snatches of rural landscape the engaging vista to enjoy, day or night.

At the rear, the house offers a double garage home for a car or for storage - or both - as well as a very private patio area perfect for relaxing in a more intimate atmosphere, plus street parking on the quiet residential road for guests who are likely to regularly visit this very sociable home.

Woodland walks are on the doorstep and riverside park is just a few streets away and described by local residents as "a great place for walking dogs or for a stroll".
