Stunning sea views from clifftop home

- BRONTE HOWARD bronte.howard@walesonlin­e.co.uk

IT’S got an Italiandes­igned staircase, a massive kitchen and a stunning view over the bay that’s worth a fortune – or £1.75m to be precise.

This ultra-modern house perched on a cliff overlookin­g Southerndo­wn in the Vale of Glamorgan is nothing short of luxurious.

Entering through grand double doors, you come into a circular tower and are met with a magnificen­t floating staircase.

The ground floor is an expansive, open space that has been designed with entertaini­ng in mind. There’s room for various sitting areas and an openplan kitchen/diner kitted out with everything even a profession­al chef could ever need.

Upstairs, there’s a second living room that boasts stunning, uninterrup­ted views of Dunraven Bay thanks to its dropped floor and outdoor terrace. There’s also a kitchenett­e complete with a fridge and a bar – perfect for parties.

The house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms across its two floors. Three double bedrooms on the first floor have their own private sitting areas and unique en-suites.

And of course, they have floor to ceiling windows overlookin­g the garden, Southerndo­wn cliffs and the sea.

According to estate agent Savills, despite the rear of the property being predominat­ely glass, there is an “emphasis on privacy”.

The master bedroom on the first floor is entered through an intricate Narnia-esque door and its marble and travertine master bathroom includes a Japanese soaking bath.

But this house doesn’t just offer luxury – it’s also environmen­tally conscious.

The wooden floor is bamboo, the carpeting on the first floor was made with recycled fibre and the toilets flush with rainwater.

The house also features eco cladding, roofing and insulation and all the wood comes from sustainabl­e sources.

And to top it off, there’s a smokeless bio-fuel fireplace on the ground floor.

The house on

Croft Lane is on the market with Savills for £1,750,000. For more informatio­n, call 029 2243 0212.
