Property description


SUMMARY
Magnificent 4/6 bedroom Barn conversion set in a select private hamlet comprising just four distinctive homes, approached by a gated entrance with surrounding landscaped gardens and grounds.


DESCRIPTION
Occupying an idyllic position, set back within a private select hamlet comprising just four distinctive houses of character. This charming detached stone built Barn conversion has been extensively renovated and modernised to a very high specification and commands a truly picturesque position fronting its own paddock, approximately 2/3 of an acre, with lawned surrounding gardens and a secluded courtyard with stone walls and a private sun terrace. The property consists of two barns, both having been sympathetically converted. There are a total of six bedrooms with four in the main barn and two in what is currently used as a leisure complex but could equally be used as a “granny annex” or additional guest accommodation as it also includes a separate shower room/WC. The location would be ideal for those looking for tranquillity yet with a range of available leisure facilities as the property lies adjacent to the 4 star Vale Resort and golf complex where you can find a full leisure complex, two golf courses including the “Wales National” championship course as well as a variety of restaurants/bars and other facilities. The property is only 7 minutes from J34 of the M4 providing easy access to Cardiff and the rest of South Wales.

The Property
Excellent local schools include Cowbridge Comprehensive School, and there is a school bus service that collects children from the top of the driveway. There is a choice of both English and Welsh speaking primary schools within the vicinity. Private parking is approached by imposing solid timber electronic gates; with a returning stone drive way leading to a large double garage (31’7 x 15’4) and a turning area all enclosed by stone walls to afford maximum privacy and security. Outside space includes a bespoke sun terrace and an under cover gazebo with timber pillars and a natural slate roof. The grounds include extensive lawned gardens enclosed by fencing together with an attractive pond. Also included is a further paddock, screened by trees for equestrian buyers.

The property is approached through a gated entrance with two large stone pillars over a private driveway, recently laid to tarmac, and jointly owned by the four properties.

The approach road skirts the Golf Course and Hotel grounds and is owned by the Hotel, with a full legal right of way provided to the four residents.
