Access to the main routes, both east and west, can be gained via the A48 to the M4 motorway junctions 33, 34 or 35 which service The Vale of Glamorgan. The important commercial centres of Cardiff, Bridgend and Swansea are all within convenient commuting distance.

Set within approximately five acres of private grounds, the property beautifully blends traditional charm with modern comfort.

Inside, the home boasts a wealth of generously proportioned living spaces. The heart of the property is a spacious, characterful kitchen/diner, complete with a working oil-fired AGA, gas hob integrated into the central island, ash cabinetry, and elegant marble effect worktops. A antique Welsh dresser and church pew adds a further touch of heritage to the space. Just off the kitchen is a formal dining room featuring a cosy working log burner, ideal for family gatherings or entertaining guests. A separate utility room with additional storage, a single electric oven, and an external access door adds functionality and convenience.

The expansive sitting room is a tranquil retreat with another log burner, bespoke built-in library shelves, and French doors that open onto the garden, flooding the room with natural light. Above this area, a mezzanine level leads to Bedroom 3, complete with its own en-suite, as well as the primary bedroom, which enjoys a separate private bathroom.

Down a hallway from the living room, you'll find four further bedrooms, one of which includes a second en-suite. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. At the far end of the home lies a magnificent Prime Oak Orangery, bathed in natural light and warmth, leading to a separate bedroom, additional kitchen, and shower room—ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.
