4 bed detached house for sale

Pantylladron, Cowbridge CF71

A traditional stone built farmhouse, with planning permission to build an impressive circa 6,000 sq/ft property in its place, probably dating from the Victorian era, set in 3.2 acres of garden and pasture on the outskirts of St. Hilary and is thought to be the highest point some 137m above sea level, in the Vale of Glamorgan enjoying simply the most stunning, uninterrupted views across the east south and west over miles and miles of countryside and to the heritage coastline and across the Bristol Channel towards Somerset.

The farmhouse is in need of complete renovation, however, the current planning permission (2022/01085/ful) gives acceptance to demolish and rebuild. There is also planning to improve the highways access from the A48.

In brief terms the current accommodation offers; three living rooms, five bedrooms, large utility room, kitchen, bathroom and WC. An interesting range of outbuildings include attached garage, attractive stone built two storey barn, small roofless stone barn and a range of other building in a various state of repair. The approach to the house is impressive with a gated entrance flanked by mature deciduous trees to the front boundary and a shady driveway up to the house flanked by more mature deciduous trees.

The location is a convenient one, south of the A48, a couple of miles east to the market town of Cowbridge with its extensive range of facilities including schooling of excellent reputation for all ages, a wide range of shops both local and national including Waitrose, library, health centre, sporting and recreational facilities including leisure centre, rugby club, cricket club, tennis club, squash club and bowls club. Cowbridge is situated in the heart of the rural Vale of Glamorgan with the heritage coastline just a few miles to the south. A good local road network via the A48 and M4 brings major centres including the capital city of Cardiff within easy commuting distance.
