The good local road network brings major and local centres including the capital city of Cardiff, Swansea, Bridgend, Llantrisant, Barry, etc all within comfortable distance and access to the M4 motorway, main line railway and Cardiff Wales Airport brings other parts of the country within easy reach.
It is unusual to find a house of this quality with this range of facilities in such a delightful yet convenient location and inspection is thoroughly recommended.
Situated on the outskirts of Cowbridge, a superb equestrian facility and luxurious house set in about 14 acres and with planning permission for the keeping, training and breeding of horses.
The house, known as Lyndon Grove, has been the subject of an extensive and stylish refurbishment and remodelling by the present owners and now offers extremely luxurious accommodation including five/six bedrooms and three bathrooms on two floors with the upper floor currently providing a splendid master suite of bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. Ground floor accommodation includes a most impressive reception/dining hall, cloakroom, large drawing room, beautifully fitted large kitchen/breakfast room, study, utility room and there is also a large detached games room. Lyndon Grove enjoys private gardens with a southerly aspect to the rear and views over the surrounding countryside but is still only a few yards walk from the stables.
The stables comprise a large U shaped yard, open to the south, laid to stone sets. Arranged around the yard are 19 boxes. Behind the main yard and joined to it is a very large upper yard also laid to stone sets and providing extensive parking and storage space. Additional facilities include a greetings room for clients, office and rest room for grooms, large hay barn, storage, etc. Across the upper yard is the foaling block with 8 boxes, tack room and hay barn.
