Maes Glas, Cefn Cribwr, CF32

The Wintles is an architecturally designed detached residence set within approximately 7 acres of private grounds, enjoying panoramic rural views and offering highly flexible accommodation over two levels. Built in 2002, with an award-winning extension added in 2008, the property blends Mediterranean villa and ranch-style influences to create a unique and impressive family home. Features include expansive open-plan living space, multiple reception and bedroom options, a lower ground leisure suite, landscaped gardens, private driveway, double garage, and extensive outdoor entertaining areas. Underfloor heating serves the main level (excluding the conservatory/sunroom).

Ground Floor

The property is approached by a covered canopy and entered via a uPVC double glazed door with glazed side panel into a welcoming entrance hallway. From here, doors lead into the main open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, while the hallway also provides access to four double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The original lounge is currently used as a versatile double bedroom. Positioned just a few steps up from the entrance hall, the room features windows to one side and French doors opening onto a private patio, making it ideal as a guest bedroom, snug or additional reception room. A door links to the family bathroom.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living space. The farmhouse-style kitchen centres around a striking stone-built fireplace with wood-burning stove and is fitted with a range of base, wall and drawer units, display cabinets, composite granite work surfaces and a central island seamlessly incorporating a bespoke oak dining table seating six to eight people. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge, additional fridge space, one and a half bowl sink unit, and range cooker with extractor over.

The kitchen opens into a substantial lounge area with high ceilings, feature arched windows, ceiling fan and further windows flooding the room with natural light. French doors open onto a composite decked terrace enjoying spectacular views across the grounds and countryside beyond. A large wood-burning stove forms a central feature and links through to the adjoining sunroom via a double-sided fireplace.

The sunroom is beautifully light-filled with windows to all sides, glazed roof panels and doors leading out onto the patio, creating an ideal additional reception or relaxation space.

The main bedroom is a spacious double room enjoying windows to the side and rear with far-reaching countryside views. It benefits from a built-in dressing area with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and cupboards, along with a stylish en-suite shower room comprising tiled walls and flooring, shower cubicle with thermostatic shower, vanity wash hand basin, WC, mirror and shaving point.

There are two further double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks and ample space for bedroom furniture.

A large family bathroom serves the property with a four piece suite comprising a corner bath, shower cubicle, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

Lower Ground Floor

A wrought iron gate from the entrance hall opens to a staircase descending to the lower ground floor.

This level is currently arranged as a games and entertainment room, with space for a full-size pool table, seating area and darts area, but could equally serve as an excellent self-contained guest suite, annex space or additional bedroom accommodation.

There is a built-in utility cupboard housing the washing machine, tumble dryer and wall-mounted Viessman combination boiler.

French doors and a rear window provide natural light and open directly onto a private secluded terrace with artificial lawn.

A shower room comprises tiled flooring, shower cubicle with Mira electric shower, vanity wash hand basin with WC, fitted mirror, extractor fan and heated chrome towel rail.

Adjacent to this room on the lower level area is a timber cabin currently housing a hot tub and sauna, with French doors opening to the rear garden. Steps from here rise to both the front and rear of the property.

Outside

The property is approached via a private driveway accessed from Maes Glas, leading onto a sweeping tarmac drive and courtyard parking area with space for multiple vehicles. 

A five-bar gate enhances the sense of privacy and arrival.

The grounds extend to approximately 7 acres and are divided into various sections, offering a combination of lawned gardens, mature trees, shrubs and open land. (There may be restrictions affecting parts of the land, subject to verification)

There is large double garage attached to the property.

The landscaped gardens wrap around the home and include numerous patio and seating areas positioned to make the most of the stunning views across the surrounding countryside. Decorative dwarf walls, wrought iron railings and gates lead to the entrance patio and porch area, which features tiled flooring and a sheltered seating space before entering the main house. Allotment area with storage shed.

The overall setting is private, peaceful and ideal for those seeking country living with generous outdoor space and excellent entertaining areas.

Garden

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a tandem off-road parking area is bordered by mature hedgerow, enhancing the sense of approach. To the rear lies a substantial south-westerly facing garden, thoughtfully arranged across three distinct tiers. The first offers a seating area ideal for day-to-day use, leading to a highly functional kitchen garden, with the upper tier providing a further decked seating space. The garden is interspersed with decorative planting and backs onto well-maintained woodland, creating a superb natural backdrop.
