ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Bron Y Garn is a truly unique property, having been occupied by the same family for at least 50 years. It is located conveniently close to the Bush Inn Public House and is still conveniently close to Cowbridge Town. Arranged over three storeys, it provides over 2500 sq ft of accommodation and offers a great opportunity for any purchaser to further modernise and adapt to create a home to suit their needs (subject to any appropriate consent). Steps lead from the driveway to the entrance hallway from which doors lead to the lounge, to the kitchen/breakfast room and to a cloakroom; stairs lead to the first floor bedroom. The family lounge is an extremely generous space with a marble fireplace as a focal feature. Windows to three sides provide a great amount of natural light; double glass doors open to paved south facing patio garden to the rear whilst a square bay to one side looks out over farmland. Two steps lead through a panelled, broad open square arch to the dining area. This also looks out over the rear garden and links to the adjoining kitchen/breakfast room. This great family space has windows looking over the front elevation and second broad window, from the breakfast area, looking on to the rear garden plus a glass door that opens onto the patio. The kitchen itself includes a good range of units with appliances, where fitted, to remain including oven, ceramic hob and integral dishwasher; fridge-freezer also to remain. An adjacent rear entrance hallway and utility room provide further opportunities for storage together with a large butlers sink space/plumbing for a washing machine. A ground floor cloakroom/WC is located to the hallway.To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC, all accessed from the landing area. The principal bedroom is a supremely large room with windows to three elevations. There is considerable potential, if required, to sub-divide to create additional bedroom space. All three bedrooms are double rooms and all have a wash-hand basin. All share use of a great sized family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle. There is, in addition, a separate WC.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

From its lane frontage, a broad gated entrance leads onto the driveway fronting the property, this has space for two cars and also gives access into the double garage. The double garage (approx. max. 5.1m x 5m) is entered via a remote controlled sectional door and provides a good, additional parking / storage space. Quarry tiled steps lead from here to the principal entrance while a path runs from the driveway to one side of the property, leading, in turn, to the rear garden space. The rear garden enjoys a fine southerly aspect, there being a wonderful paved seating area accessed directly from the family lounge. An additional paved area overlooked by the breakfast room and utility room. From these paved spaces, a sloped path and steps lead up to a larger area of lawn bordered by mature hedgerows and including, to one corner, a timber garden store shed (not inspected internally). Hedgerow boundaries divide the property from the adjoining fields.
