This historical farmhouse is believed to have origins dating back over 500 years and some of the original character has been retained in the oldest parts of the house. The current owners have lovingly and extensively refurbished the house throughout in recent years to an extremely high standard, creating an exceptional family home with large bright rooms and modern conveniences.
Adjoining the farmhouse is a substantial traditional stone barn that has scope for conversion to provide an extension to the main dwelling or a separate annexe, subject to any necessary permissions.
Undoubtedly the star attraction of this exceptional property is the superb range of outbuildings, stables and paddocks which are ideal for private equestrian use, and there is access to many miles of hacking in the local area most notably in Smilog Woods.
Despite its secluded location, the property is only 2 miles from Pontyclun which provides a good range of local shops and amenities including a railway station, Talbot Green Retail Park and Royal Glamorgan Hospital. Junction 34 of the M4 Motorway is only 4 miles to the south providing a fast link to the Severn Bridge to the east and Swansea to the west.
The ever-popular market town of Cowbridge within the Vale of Glamorgan is within easy reach and a little further on yet still easily accessible is Cardiff city centre.
