**A Rare Gem.  Elegant Period Residence with Historic Charm and Expansive Grounds**

Nestled in a semi-rural yet highly accessible location, this striking double-fronted period home is a true testament to architectural heritage and timeless character. Originally constructed circa 1860, and with remnants of the earlier 1571 farmhouse still present within the grounds, the property is rich with history, charm, and untapped potential.

Set within a generous 0.4-acre plot, this handsome residence offers privacy, space, and scenic views, all within moments of Talbot Green shopping centre, Llantrisant, and key transport links including the M4 at Miskin. With beautifully maintained gardens to the front, side, and rear, the property combines historic charm with family functionality in a truly special way.

The front garden features a rare and remarkable piece of local history—a Grade II listed dry stone wall, which includes six square bee boles. These ancient alcoves were once used to shelter skeps, traditional woven bee hives, from the elements—a detail that reflects the agricultural roots of the land and adds to the home's unique appeal.

Inside, the house unfolds over three floors, offering deceptively spacious accommodation. A warm and welcoming entrance hall with parquet flooring leads to a lounge that stretches the full depth of the property, complete with an open fireplace. The formal dining room, with its own feature fireplace, offers delightful views over the garden. The kitchen is well-appointed with solid wood units, a Belfast sink, and a range cooker with gas hob—blending classic styling with everyday practicality.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts four generously sized double bedrooms, one currently used as a study. The modern family bathroom includes a traditional three-piece suite with a freestanding roll-top bath tub. The second floor reveals two further large bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, making it ideal as a guest suite or private retreat.

The master bedroom boasts a spacious walk-in wardrobe, with exciting potential to convert part of this area into a luxurious en-suite—plans for which are already in motion.  With stunning front facing views over the countryside.

Outside, the property continues to impress with three separate patio areas ideal for entertaining, a vegetable garden, various fruit trees, and stocked fishponds complete with a waterfall feature. A derelict stone outbuilding within the grounds, part of the original farmhouse, offers considerable scope for renovation, with lapsed planning permission previously granted. An outdoor toilet, boiler room, and ample storage further enhance the practicality of the grounds, while off-road parking is available for several vehicles.

This remarkable home blends period elegance, modern comfort, and historical significance into a one-of-a-kind family residence—ready for its next chapter.
