It is old and has a past history being built around 1890 yet has been greatly extended and modernised from 1996 onwards.
It is spacious inside, with approximately 3,500 square feet of living space, but has many areas that are sociable and cosy.
It offers people ample living, outdoor space and leisure activities, including an outdoor swimming pool with separate changing and shower block.
It offers horses the rural dream too, with two stable blocks providing accommodation for four horses, a tack area and seven acres of paddock land.

■ What: It’s not just the rural millionpound homes that offer a new owner a life of fun and games; a city suburb can offer that too.
This substantial detached Georgian style home is not only on one of the most sought after streets in the capital, Hollybush Road, but it has its own large garden terrace with bar and games room.
The garden is surprisingly large for this location, so maybe a new owner will consider putting in a pool to add to the party atmosphere, there’s certainly room for it.
Inside, the distinct detached home is as spacious as the plot of land it sits on. There is a large kitchen, diner, lounge area, plus utility room that runs the width of the downstairs at the rear of the property, which opens out onto the garden terrace and bar area through one of three sets of patio doors. Also on the ground floor is a large, separate lounge, an office and an integral garage, plus underfloor heating and marble floor tiling throughout.
Up the oak staircase, on the first floor of this three storey home, there are four bedrooms including the master, which has built-in wardrobes and an ensuite.
But the occupants of the other three bedrooms on this floor mustn’t feel too jealous, as they all have a dedicated ensuite wetroom.
On the second floor the loft has been converted to provide three additional, large bedrooms, one of which is being used as a games room.
All rear bedrooms have a view over Cardiff to the Bristol Channel in the distance.
