A NEW SOUTH WALES LIVING
IF YOU were able to design your home based on your extensive travels around the world what would it look like? For the current owners of this stunning, architect designed dream home hidden away on the edge of a popular village near Cardiff, the influence was Australia.
So, once you wander through the impressive electric gates, you’ll find a house that’s bursting with light cascading into its spacious, open-plan living area that includes a wall of glass doors that open out onto the garden, offering a seamless connection and enticing you out into the sun.
In Oz that probably means the doors are almost perminantly open but on the edge of the village of Dinas Powys it’s probably wise to wait for the rain to stop. But when it does this amazing family home is ready to party, with the huge kitchen lounge diner that spans the back of the house the ultimate socialising space and the decked garden with sunken hot tub and substantial patio happy to host any social gathering.
And if, or when, the rain clouds appear, or if shade from the sun is sought, then the gazebo built over the outdoor lounge area is the place to be, or watch the sunset through the foliage at the front of the house on the covered veranda with a drink as the stars appear.
Inside, the house has the perfect flow.
A central hallway runs the whole width of the house, offering access to all the ground floor rooms plus stairs up to the four bedrooms that includes a spectacular principal bedroom suite.
At the rear of the house the stunning lounge kitchen dinner also offers access to a utility room and gym.
At the front of the house you’ll find a ground floor ensuite bedroom that is very handy as a guest area or for someone with mobility challenges, a separate living room, music room and home office, as well as access to the inviting front veranda.
The house nestles into the landscape along a country lane that meanders out of the popular Vale of Glamorgan village of Dinas Powys, offering a range of local amenities and facilities but within a very short drive of the capital city for more opportunities to work, rest and play.
