City centre living usually conjures up images of faceless two-up, two-down urban terraces, but not in the case of John and Jackie Lloyd Jones' luxurious Cardiff bolthole. Theirs is a supremely elegant, detached Edwardian home with high, high ceilings, bold frescos and a piano tinkling away in the background. The squishy leather sofas, beautiful stained glass windows and original mouldings retain a hushed historical resonance, and you could be forgiven for thinking that you'd stepped back in time a few hundred years. But the look is tempered by hi-tech, stainless steel ovens, classic, timeless furniture and modern artwork, so what you get is personal and thought-out, rather than a stuffy museum piece. The piece de resistance has to be the master bedroom with its spacious dressing room, gorgeous silk wallpaper and airy balcony. It is a modern-day boudoir that is large enough to lounge around in all day if you pleased … although some may argue that the double garage complete with chandeliers and matching his and hers number plates holds the ultimate wow factor.
