ABOUT THE PROPERTY
A truly unique family home, China House has been created through the sympathetic conversion and amalgamation of a row of former pottery workers' cottages into one impressive residence. Occupying a glorious plot of approximately 1/3 of an acre, bordered by farmland and situated within the sought-after Glamorgan Heritage Coast, the property enjoys a wonderful semi-rural setting with far-reaching countryside and coastal views.
The property is entered via an entrance porch with a convenient cloakroom/WC. Beyond lies a spacious central dining hall, forming the heart of the home and providing access to the principal reception rooms, with a staircase rising to the first floor. The generously proportioned family lounge is a particular highlight, featuring a hand-crafted fireplace constructed from locally sourced stone and housing an open working fire. An open archway leads through to a later garden room addition, a delightful space enjoying a sunny southerly aspect and views over the gardens. A second, more intimate sitting room offers a cosy retreat and also benefits from an open fireplace. Located adjacent to the kitchen, it provides an ideal family snug or evening reception room. The impressive kitchen/breakfast room was refitted in 2025 and features a comprehensive range of contemporary units, extensive work surfaces and ample space for family dining. Beyond the kitchen is a practical utility/boot room housing the central heating boiler and providing internal access to the garage.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys particularly generous proportions together with superb far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards the Bristol Channel. It benefits from its own en suite bathroom with shower over bath. All four bedrooms enjoy attractive outlooks over the surrounding landscape.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
China House is approached via a shared driveway from the village lane, also serving Fossil Cottage, over which both properties enjoy rights of access. The driveway leads to a substantial flint-chipped forecourt providing extensive parking and turning space. The gardens extend to approximately 1/3 of an acre and are enclosed by a combination of mature hedging, timber fencing and traditional stone walling. A public footpath passes beyond the north-western boundary, leading to the adjoining fields. The drive continues to the detached garage (approx max 5.6m x 5.2m) accessed via twin sectional doors and benefiting from useful eaves storage; a rear pedestrian door opens directly into the garden. The grounds are arranged into two distinct garden areas to the south-west and north-east of the property respectively. The western garden features a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining, surrounded by established lawn. A pathway runs around the rear of the house, linking to the eastern garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and incorporates a selection of fruit trees together with a substantial timber garden store (approx max 5m x 2m).
