Detached house for sale in Cowbridge CF71, 5 Bedroom

A deceptively spacious five bed detached property probably dating from the 1960's which has been extended over the years to form the good sized family house of today. In brief terms the accommodation on two floors comprises three principal reception rooms, large kitchen/breakfast room, five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a usefully large attic room with lots of potential. The accommodation is usefully flexible with all the space except bedrooms four, five and the attic room on the ground floor allowing considerable flexibility of use depending upon family requirements. Incidentally although the attic room at present doesn't have a window it would nevertheless make a fine additional living space or bedroom with dorms or Velux roof lights subject to any necessary consents being obtained. The Swallows enjoys the benefit of full oil fired central heating and is double glazed. The property stands in a good sized garden enjoying lovely views and there is parking both to the side and the rear for numerous cars and includes a double garage. Alongside the property is an additional paddock and the total area of ground is 2.3 acres.

Despite this delightful rural location, The Swallows is placed midway between the villages of Peterston-Super-Ely and Pendoylan. Pendoylan offers a well regarded junior school, parish Church and The Red Lion. Peterston-Super-Ely has some of the best village facilities in the Vale of Glamorgan including junior school, parish Church, village hall, two village pubs, garage, village shop/post office, playing fields etc. The Swallows is ideally situated for commuting to major centres either via A48 or the M4 and centres within comfortable commuting distance include the capital city of Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bridgend, Llantrisant, Barry etc.
