HOT HOUSE II
THINK of a traditional farmhouse property for sale and you might conjure up images of ceiling beams, open fires and exposed stone walls, but you might not necessarily think of this property as a commuter home. But that is the beauty of Pwll Farm in St Nicholas in the Vale of Glamorgan; all the character charm of a farmhouse but with the Culverhouse Cross Marks & Spencer store literally the corner shop and Cardiff city centre just seven miles away.
But then the benefits of rural living reveal themselves, as the farmhouse comes with approximately an acre of land and stabling. Add to that two driveways and ample parking and the new owner has plenty space to park the car and the horses.
The cute cottage style porch leads into the spacious main living area. Surely the open fireplace with wood mantel and exposed stone chimney breast is the centrepiece of the room, but it’s a close call. The expanse of stonework brings character and warmth to the room too, and the ceiling beams contribute to the farmhouse feel.
Through a set of double doors into the kitchen. No guesses as to the interior design style in this room – yes it’s a farmhouse style with a six gas ring hob perfect for producing all those hearty home cooked meals. Add granite worktops and a handy island and most cooks would be more than pleased to work in this spacious room. But it’s not just a working kitchen, the room extends into a dining and seating area, ensuring this room is an open-plan sociable space.
For more formal dining, the home has a large dining room, with charming window seats over-looking the enclosed garden. Again the character of the property shines through, via ceiling beams, a stone chimney breast and fireplace.
Off the main living room is a lounge, again showcasing a feature wall of exposed stone and a log burner nestled within the fireplace, perfect for creating a cosy atmosphere on a cold winter’s evening.
Upstairs a potential buyer will discover three double bedrooms, all featuring ceiling beams and accessed via one of two staircases. The first of these staircases leads up to the surprisingly vast master bedroom, so large that it can easily accommodate a four seater sofa. This master wing of the home includes an en-suite, complete with double ended bath and a large shower cubicle, plus a walk-in wardrobe.
The second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite, and a third good size bedroom and family shower room completes the first floor accommodation.
The rear garden is enticing as a sociable space and features attractive stone walling leading to two stable blocks. The remaining acreage is mostly flat lawn, with hedged boundaries. Plenty of room for parties and ponies.
