Local primary and secondary schools, and indeed all of Cowbridge's excellent facilities, are within walking distance.
ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Occupying an enviable, private position within the highly desirable village of Llanblethian close to Cowbridge town, this substantial detached residence enjoys superb views over the Thaw Valley and offers a unique upside-down living arrangement designed to maximise its stunning outlook.
Thoughtfully extended and enhanced by the current owners over the last 25 years, the property provides spacious and versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family living. The designed layout places the principal reception areas on the first floor, where large windows frame rural vistas, creating light-filled living spaces that make the most of the exceptional setting. This first floor forms the heart of the home, featuring an open plan L-shaped kitchen-dining space. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of contemporary high-gloss units with complementary Silestone work surfaces. A range of integral appliances to remain to include; eye-level 'Bosch' double oven/grill, and touch-screen induction hob. Also an integral larder fridge and wine cooler to remain.
