Ewenny Isaf Farmhouse was originally part of the estate of nearby Ewenny
Priory. The property has been the subject of a meticulous and imaginative
conversion to the exciting dwelling house of today making full use of the
character of the original building and sympathetically adding modern wings, as
well as adding a detached building providing ancillary living accommodation to
the main property. It is a testament to the skill of design and quality
materials and building that the old blend seamlessly with the new as evidenced
by the modern oak floors and original stone walls. There is considerable
emphasis on flexibility of use and layout and the provision of light. The
central reception area features a pitched glazed roof which has the effect of
pumping natural light into the centre of the building and in the 60' plus
kitchen/breakfast room/ family room there are high pitched ceilings with huge
windows which again pump light into the living space.
Ewenny Isaf Farmhouse stands in an attractively large garden facing south with
views over surrounding farmland. There is an adjoining paddock with separate
road access. Situated in the garden is a large heated swimming pool and
substantial summerhouse currently used as a gymnasium and sauna. The location
is a pleasantly rural one and on a small lane which leads to Ewenny Priory.
Local village facilities include an excellent general store/post office and
Southerndown Golf Club is just a short drive down the road. The good local
road network brings major centres including the capital city of Cardiff,
Bridgend, Swansea, Cowbridge, Llantrisant, etc all within east commuting
distance.
