An extended detached cottage enjoying a hugely convenient yet surprisingly private location in the heart of Llantwit Major. The versatile accommodation is packed with an abundance of character features and briefly comprises entrance hall, living room/bedroom three, study, dining room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and utility/shower room to the ground floor. Upstairs offers two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside enjoys the benefit of a detached garage, driveway parking for several vehicles and a private and enclosed south facing garden.
The location is a delight and when you are in the cottage and garden, it is hard to believe that you're really in the centre of the town. It is within walking distance of all of the town's excellent facilities including the railway station on the Cardiff to Bridgend line and the beach on the heritage coastline just a mile or so to the south. The property has easy access to the main road network, bringing major centres such as the capital city of Cardiff, Bridgend and Swansea within comfortable commuting distances. In the reference book "Glamorgan Farmhouses and Cottages" published by The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments in Wales, the property is called Fonmon House and is dated from circa 1750. Cadw lists Fonmon Cottage as Grade II being of historical and architectural interest.
