A superbly and stylishly appointed detached house with extensive accommodation
delightfully tucked away down a private lane and set in close to 2 acres of
garden and paddock with a large detached double garage and stables and yet
within walking distance of good village facilities and a few minutes drive
west to the market town of Cowbridge and east to the capital city of Cardiff
and vibrant Cardiff Bay.
Originally a stone barn the property has been converted, extended and
modernised with the addition of a large orangery, built approximately 6 years
ago, at the rear of the property reflecting the very latest ideas on layout
and quality finish and providing an open living space of approximately 900sq
feet. Briefly the accommodation includes a large reception area/entrance hall,
drawing room, sitting room/snug, study, living room/orangery open plan to
kitchen/breakfast room (almost 900 sq feet) together with a well appointed
utility room and two cloakrooms. There is an additional single storey self -
contained wing attached to the house, having its own
front door, kitchen, bathroom and central heating system.
The property downstairs creates a wonderful and imposing blend of traditional
and modern, offers light and airy living and gives a sense of effortless flow
from room to room. Upstairs in the main house are 5 double bedrooms, two of
which are suites each with its own dressing room and large bathroom and there
is also a large third family bathroom.
Along with the modernisation of the property, the garden and al fresco dining
terrace has also been extended so you can now step out from the living room
/orangery/kitchen via two large sets of triple sliding doors onto the newly
created rear terrace and enjoys views over the garden to the paddock beyond.
There are gravel courtyards to both front and rear with space to park numerous
cars. The solidly constructed detached garage and stable complex has been
extended to provide plenty of amenity space with all services and fronting
onto an 1800sq' concrete yard with gateway to the paddock which is laid to
grass and provides an attractive backdrop to the outlook of the main house. In
addition, there is substantial external lighting to both the front and rear of
the property.
The property is situated at the end of a small private lane laid to tarmacadam
serving just four high quality individual houses. Local village facilities
with walking distance include the village shop/post office, Bonvilston reading
rooms (rather nice name for the village hall), parish church and The Red Lion.
Cottrell Park Golf Club with it's two 18 hole courses is just down the road.
There is a bus service along the A48 which passes through the village. The
village is within the catchment area for the highly regarded Cowbridge school
and the excellent village junior schools close by including the adjoining
village of St Nicholas. Just a few minutes drive to the west is the market
town of Cowbridge with more extensive local facilities including library,
health centre, wide range of shops both national and local, sporting and
recreational facilities including leisure centre, cricket club, tennis club,
squash club, bowls club etc. To the east and again just a few minutes drive
away is the capital city of Cardiff with all the facilities you'd expect of a
major city together with the vibrant Cardiff Bay area. Bonvilston is situated
in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan with the Heritage Coastline just a few
miles to the south. There is a mainline railway station in Cardiff with
regular connection to London and Cardiff Wales Airport is within easy driving
distance.
An exceptional property fitted and finished to a particularly high standard
reflecting modern life and designed to take full advantage of its delightful
and convenient location. Inspection is thoroughly recommended.
