4 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

A substantial DETACHED FAMILY HOME located at the end of a long private road and set in large gardens which adjoin rural farmland.

This is a unique and interesting property which has been extended over the years and provides exceptionally well appointed accommodation presented to good standards.

With central heating and double glazing the accommodation features entrance porch which leads into the vestibule, reception hallway which gives access to all ground floor rooms including a very large lounge and separate sitting room, kitchen/diner, shower room and a utility room. To the first floor are four double bedrooms and a very modern family bathroom. One of the features of the master bedroom is a balcony which forms a delightful sitting area to take in the very best of the rural views on offer.

The property benefits from generous off road parking in addition to a double garage. Small private courtyard to the front and a feature decked boardwalk (making access to the garden wheelchair friendly) to the side leads to the delightful lawned gardens with mature trees, making this a nature lover’s paradise. The rear gardens are surrounded on two sides by rolling green fields and the elevated nature of the site gives wide ranging views over the Vale of Glamorgan.

In summary, this house is a hidden gem. It’s address belies the fact that the property is located literally off the beaten track yet in reality is a short drive from the excellent amenities of Barry town centre and Culverhouse Cross, in addition to offering easy access to Cardiff Wales Airport which is only a short drive away. Early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
