Nestled within beautiful, undulating countryside north of Cardiff this renovated dream home offers an idyllic pocket of peace, hidden away on a dead-end lane. The sprawling, stylish home occupies an enviable location, commutable to the capital yet surrounded by easily accessed, stunning countryside bursting with woodland walks, bike and horse trails, and a popular local pub for refreshments along the way. Through the gates reveals a collection of former farm buildings clustered around a private and characterful courtyard. Pushing open the front door of the main house reveals a stylish and contemporary country home offering impressive high-end, luxury design throughout that includes a designer kitchen by Loxleys London. The main house offers four substantial bedroom suites that ooze luxury, with opulent bathrooms and generous spaces that can accommodate lounge areas too. Outside, the grounds of approximately 0.85 acres are surrounded by stunning and sweeping rural views and multiple places to entertain family and friends, or find solitaire and silence in the shade under a tree. There's ample parking for multiple vehicles which is a big bonus as this rural retreat comes with surely the best party facilities in the area within one of the converted barns that is bound to attract regular visits from family and friends. The party barn includes a lounge bar that feels like you've just arrived at an exclusive country club, plus an impressive home cinema, spa that includes a sauna, steam room and a gym, a games room that can easily accommodate a full-size snooker table, plus a kitchen, so it's not too far to cook up a feast or find some snacks for guests. Step Inside:- - Step inside the former farmhouse within this cluster of incredible buildings and a glamorous and contemporary home awaits, having been lavished with a high-end renovation that has established luxury at its core. The first impression is a breathtaking one, with ground floor dividing walls and separate reception rooms a distant memory, as these former spaces have been combined and given a truly modern makeover. Stepping into this now open-plan space you can see through to the garden via picture windows and French doors and this, coupled with layers of thoughtfully designed lighting including hidden LEDs and shiny surfaces that bounce light around, makes the space feel very light, fresh and contemporary. The central staircase is a thing of beauty; a bespoke glass structure that sweeps its way to the first floor with a flourish. The flooring choice is contemporary too, high shine tiling that flows throughout the whole ground floor, unifying the space. To one side of the stunning staircase is a spacious dining zone that is the perfect place for a lively and enjoyable dinner party or family gathering, with ample space for a substantial dining table and the benefit of a set of French doors to throw open in the summer so the party can seamlessly spill out into the garden. The other side of the staircase is another zone focussed on socialising - a lounge area where two massive sofas effortlessly curve around the attractive feature fireplace, with visually pleasing symmetry achieved via a large floor-to-ceiling window either side of the flames. It's a space where winter months are warmed by the fire and summer time sees sunshine and garden views flood in through the picture windows, it's a space that will always be popular for gatherings, whatever the time of day or year. A more intimate reception space awaits off this impressive open-plan area, but it can still happily welcome a huge, squishy sofa for family and friends to sink into together, plus its own set of French doors so garden views and summer breezes can join the group gathering. There's a study at the rear of the house on the way to find the kitchen and it is a perfect place for work, with built-in carpentry promoting perfect organisation of work, and there's even space for yet another good sized sofa. Into the kitchen and the luxury fixtures and fittings continue with the discovery of a high-end, Edwin Loxley of London designer kitchen packed with integrated appliances and connected to the dining area via a set of steps. The cook can be joined for a chat and maybe a few taste tests either at the integrated island unit breakfast bar or in the dining area that includes a sizeable wine fridge. With the bifold doors open in the warmer weather, it's the perfect kitchen diner to cook up a feast connected directly and seamlessly to the garden. Additional accommodation on the ground floor includes a utility space and cloakroom, before the stunning glass staircase beckons so the journey of discovery can continue upstairs. The house used to have six bedrooms but with the remodelling of the home came the creative idea to sacrifice two in order to design four fabulous, spacious and distinct bedroom suites. In three of the bedroom suites the ceilings have been removed to create double-height, vaulted spaces full of charm, with the primary boasting exposed roof beams adding character to this substantial space. The ensuite to this largest of the bedrooms is, of course, glamorous and luxurious - and huge. It is an ensuite that is pure pleasure to visit either for a relaxing soak or refreshing shower, and this five-star hotel standard is repeated in the family bathroom where the bath commands most attention thanks to its size and position on an elevated pli.. It feels so luxurious to step up and then step down into the bath and, if accompanied by bubbles, candles and a glass of something refreshing, is a sumptuous experience that can be enjoyed every day at this property and not just when staying at a posh country hotel. Two of the suites have mezzanine bedroom areas with their own staircase which allows space below for lounge areas and even a semi open-plan ensuite as part of the floorplan. But the main house is not the only area of the property that has received a thoughtful and impressive renovation and conversion, one of the barns nestled around the courtyard has been given a new lease of life as surely the best party barn in the area. The barn is so well-equipped there is no need to ever leave the property for entertainment and fun. For the ultimate group fun the main section of the barn is currently dedicated to a games area that can easily accommodate a full-size snooker table and arcade games. Inside this amazing barn there's an impressive home cinema, complete with big, squishy chairs and dimmed lighting that conjures up a magical and intimate atmosphere as the perfect setting for the audience to be totally immersed in the movie. The barn has its own kitchen too, so it's not far to go to drum up some snacks in time for the film or the start of the match. Also found within the barn, that seems bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, is a sizeable gym with a wall of mirrors to assist the workout, and after a hard session the spa area looks very welcoming, offering a sauna, steam room, walk-in shower and room for a massage table. The perfect end to the health and spa session is surely a cool drink waiting at the bar. As all good country clubs can boast, this private version has an inviting lounge bar area, nestled under the exposed roof beams on a mezzanine level, creating an intimate atmosphere to this most sociable of spaces. Outside - Step outside to explore the 0.85 acres of land that sweeps around the property before it seamlessly flows into panoramic rural views that expand to the horizon. Behind the gates, off the dead-end lane shared only with one other property that is also a bridleway, there's plenty of onsite parking for all the guests that are sure to turn up regularly to attend memorable events in the party barn. The lawns are extensive and expansive, lined by trees and hedgerows and offering the perfect place for outdoor games, football matches, and sun-drenched picnics, but the property can offer more intimate spaces too. There are house-hugging patios and courtyards that cluster around the house all boasting special and enticing places to admire the view, enjoy company with family and friends, and tuck into an alfresco feast. Within the grounds is a bonus that not many homes can offer - a characterful stone building called Long Barn that already has planning in place to be converted into a four-bed dream home, offering onsite multi-generational living if required. The vendors also advise that there is also the potential for 2 one bed, suites (with sitting room/kitchen bathroom and balcony) above the parking for five vehicles. This additional potential to create an extra dream home (with its own title deed) is being sold separately to the main property for Guide Price £375,000. With permission, the newly finessed barn could even be rented out as a holiday let to make the most of the property's perfect location, close to the capital of Wales and yet feeling like a world away, surrounded by a rolling rural landscape with onsite socialising and relaxation at the heart of this unique luxury home.

Fine & Country Cardiff are pleased to present to the market this charming six-bedroom cottage located in the highly sought after village of Dinas Powys. Old Mill Farmhouse is a beautiful character cottage that dates back to the 1400s, retaining many original features such as Inglenook fire place, bread oven and exposed beams. The property has been lovingly restored over the years by its current owners, who have enjoyed the property as their family home for many years, read their comments below: Seller Insight: - When we first saw Old Mill Farmhouse it struck us as an ideal oasis. It is completely private and secluded, yet it is in the heart of the village, close to the village square, with the ruins of a Norman castle just at the top of the garden. No-one quite knew the house was there and we later found out that when it went on the market, there were two open days when almost the whole village went to view it out of curiosity! We believe it is one of the oldest houses in Dinas Powys, built as a farmhouse to the mill next door in 1460 and mentioned in a will in 1533. We think it was extended in the 1830s and when we came across it, it had the appearance of a typical country cottage. We bought it in 1987, inheriting with it a cat, Tudor, who didn't want to move away. Then the work really started. It was unlived in, very ramshackle and with an overgrown garden. We set about the renovations one room at a time and really put heart and soul into the house. Because of its history, the house has some lovely features. Some of our favourites are the beamed ceiling in the dining room and the exposed natural stone fireplaces. We love the downstairs lounge where there's an original inglenook fireplace with a bread oven to one side and a little salt drying shelf the other. The alcove beside the fireplace had a curved wall from the original 15th century staircase leading to the upstairs. In the oldest part of the house, the walls are at least two feet thick, so in the summer, it is beautifully cool but in winter the walls provide great insulation and, with the log burner going, it is very cosy. Recently we took up the carpets in the downstairs lounge, hall and dining room and revealed the old flooring quarry tiles, boarding and some really ancient tiles, which could be original to the property. In 1999 we commenced an extension, using a local architect and local builders. We tried to make it in keeping with the theme of a Welsh longhouse so we built into the bank and carried on the line of the roof. It has given us so much extra space and light and a second staircase which has improved the flow of the house. We had a great Millennium party there, before the oak floor was fitted. We left the tinsel and confetti with the date 2000 on it under the flooring and there is a time capsule buried in one of the walls. The new, top lounge is perfect for us all to gather together as a family. It is a really lovely, sunny, bright and airy room with recently replaced bifold doors out to the patio. It's a lovely house for entertaining, which we used to do fairly often for birthdays and anniversaries, with 40 to 50 people in attendance. It was ideal, with the big new lounge upstairs and the other, cosier rooms. It was great for kids' and adults' parties there was always plenty of space. The garden is pretty special. It is a country-style garden, very secluded, with well-established trees and shrubs, mature apple and cherry trees and lots of fruit bushes. We even once had a vegetable patch. The different levels make it interesting and we have our own patch of woodland which is carpeted with daffodils, wild garlic and bluebells, depending on the season. It feels as if you are in the middle of the countryside. At the top of the garden there is room for a lovely summer house or home office, although there are enough rooms in the house to provide work from home space as well. The house faces south and in fine weather it is baked in sun most of the day. Quite often when we came home from work we would sit on the top patio by the pond and waterfall and catch the late afternoon and early evening sun. But because of the apple and cherry trees, there is always shade if you need it. * These comments are the personal views of the current owners and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. Accommodation summary: - As you approach Old Mill Farmhouse from Lettons Way it would be easy to miss the property as it is tucked away in its own private spot. There is a set of steps that lead up alongside a sweeping driveway surrounded by trees, you will spot the sign at the bottom that displays the house name, which is about the only giveaway that there is a house located above. It is surprising that such a secluded property set in such a quiet spot could be so conveniently located for village life, this home really does offer the best of both worlds. Dinas Powys is a highly sought after residential area, offering fantastic schools, great village pubs, train station and easy access to the motorways. The accommodation offers, entrance hallway, three reception rooms, conservatory, study, boot room, cloakroom, kitchen/breakfast room, six bedrooms and a sizeable plot to the front and side of the property along with ample parking for 4/5 vehicles.

Hidden away on the edge of Cowbridge and surrounded by about 1.5 acres of truly stunning, landscaped mature gardens, this Grade II listed historic mansion is a truly exceptional home that offers charming character combined with sophistication and elegance. Within the gorgeous grounds it feels like every day is a holiday at the heated swimming pool area, with the pool surrounded by a patio perfect for sun loungers, alfresco dining and hosting the perfect pool parties. With a kitchen, shower room and toilet facilities there's no need to wander indoors until at least bedtime. But the garden of this magnificent mansion can offer practical features as well as pool parties, with areas to grow produce supported by a greenhouse, sheds, ample parking, a garage and workshop, plus a bonus three-bed house, newly renovated 1 bed cosy log cabin with wood burning stove and a shepherd's hut with enclosed wooden hot tub area that all have the potential to provide extra income. A detached fully equipped party bar that was newly built in 2022 provides a space to entertain your guests, also. The main house is a beautiful home that has been renovated and restored by the current owner with love, care and inspirational interior design that combines original character with elegance and luxury. Exposed stone walls, fireplaces, window shutters, ceiling roses, stripped wood internal doors, wall paneling, a stunning staircase, luxury bathrooms and a handcrafted painted oak kitchen are just some of the incredible features inside to notice and admire. The main house can offer practical options too, with the east wing able to be shut off, with its own separate entrance, to provide a delightful self-contained, two-bedroom, two-bathroom annexe with open-plan kitchen lounge diner that includes a gorgeous inglenook fireplace which oozes character and charm. If the east wing is used as part of the main house, the upstairs boasts six charming bedrooms that include vintage wallpaper believed to date back 200 years, wall panelling and exposed stone walls, and five luxury bathrooms. The principal bedroom is a stunning suite offering a dressing room with built-in wardrobes as well as a sizable ensuite shower room. The house is tucked behind grand gates, nestled off a the a48 road that meanders into the popular market town of Cowbridge, so restaurants, shops, and sport and leisure facilities are literally on the doorstep, making it the perfect location to become a boutique hotel as a different option to a home, subject to planning consent. With the home being just a short walk from Cowbridge you can wander into town to meet friends for lunch or indulge in some retail therapy, and as a bonus for families looking for excellent schools, the house is within walking distance to the best in the county. Or head out in the other direction once you've left the house to access all the enchanting river bank routes, beaches and woodland walks that the area can easily tempt you with. From exhilarating water-based activities to hiking and biking within this famous landscape, this house is well-placed to explore it all. It's hard to imagine ever wanting to leave the house, and its glorious garden, but if you have to travel for work or need to go further afield to explore more of the stunning scenery in the area, the A40 is easily accessible as a direct route to the UK's network of motorways and airports but none of those roads will lead to a home as truly breathtaking as Llwynhelig House. Step inside:- - Stepping inside this historic Grade II listed mansion reveals a world of sophisticated and stunning interiors that have been lavished on this elegant home through a thoughtful, high-end renovation by the current owner. The outstanding restoration of Llwynhelig House has also ensured the historic heart of the home, that dates back in parts to the 14th century, is present too. There are exposed stone walls, fireplaces, window shutters, wooden beams and delightful wallpaper. The handsome home's charming Georgian facade and impressive columned entrance leading to a large black front door is a mesmerising first impression that ignites anticipation, and the inside completely satisfies the high expectations the outside sets. Choosing the stone pillar route into the house gets you into the formal dining room and it's a space that oozes character, from the panelled walls to the ceiling rose, the wood flooring to the robust stone fireplace housing a substantial log burner. Home to countless memorable dinner parties, family meals, and special Christmas dinners, the room can easily welcome a large dining table as well as a cosy seating area nestled next to the fire. Next door, an inviting morning room is the first of a trio of reception rooms to explore that all look out over the garden. This cosy space showcases more wall panelling, wooden floors, plus original window shutters, and there's a log burner as the focal point of a winter's evening chatting with family and friends in this intimate atmosphere. Further down the hall is a very generous drawing room decorated to a luxury standard that oozes sophistication. It is a substantial space that is easily home to a grand piano, as well as a number of sofas and armchairs clustered around a breathtaking carved stone fireplace. The room is a wonderful space for relaxing while listening to music or reading with one of the French doors in the big bay window thrown open to invite sweet summer breezes in to join you. Conversely the sizeable space can welcome a large group of family and friends to gather and enjoy each other's company in this most elegant of rooms. This delightful room opens out onto the glorious patio area with water feature leading out and beyond into the beautiful, landscaped gardens and party bar. Next to the sitting room is a study and home office that can boast its own wood panelling and statement furniture, with a vintage desk placed at the window offering the perfect position to be happily distracted from ominous work deadlines by the attractive and absorbing garden views including the tranquil sounds of the trickling water fountain. Back into the inner hall and through a delightful breakfast area boasting a built-in Welsh dresser and you'll find an exposed stone doorway into the stunning kitchen. Everything brought into the property to create this astonishing dream home has been chosen with care and this is very evident in the kitchen, where the bespoke joinery of the luxury handmade units in solid oak is of the highest level of craftsmanship. There are granite worksurfaces, a porcelain twin sink, hot water tap, built-in appliances, a Rangemaster induction hob and extractor hood, plus double oven and warming trays, all cloaked in tasteful neutral decor and crowned with an original oak beam which was reclaimed from one of the ceiling beams. Next to a cloakroom there's a door that forces you to make a decision about the east wing of the house. Keep the door open and connected to the house or close it to create a self-contained annexe that boasts its own character as well as the option for multi-generational living. The east wing has a gorgeous open-plan kitchen dining and living space that combines wood flooring with original beams and a log burning inglenook fireplace on the ground floor all with underfloor heating. The potential annexe has its own staircase leading to two bedrooms, one with an ensuite, and a family bathroom with a beautiful exposed stone feature wall and traditional roll-top bath. Back into the main section of the house to climb the main staircase to explore four more beautiful bedrooms that continue the theme of luxury combined with character, from exposed stone walls to numerous fancy fireplaces. The principal bedroom suite is located above the formal morning room, meaning it can enjoy the benefit of an impressive bay window too, with a trio of large windows offering three absorbing views of the garden directly from the pillow. The elegant fireplace offers more character while the space flows through a charming arch into a magnificent dressing room with built-in wardrobes that leads into an ensuite with double walk-in shower and his and her sinks. There are another five bedrooms on this floor, two potentially allocated to the east wing annexe, and all of them are gorgeous slumber spaces that each have their own interior story to tell. One bedroom has panelling, continuing the trend from the ground floor although this room can boast it on the ceiling too, and two have tactile exposed stone feature walls. There's even a bedroom that can shout about its well-preserved vintage wallpaper, perfectly illustrating how this house has been lovingly renovated, combining character and history with modern, sophisticated living to create a truly exceptional home. Vendor insight:- - Llwynhelig House is 700 years old and can only be described as glorious as the front is draped in delightful wisteria that has been there for over 125 years. The property is full of wonderful features, including original fireplaces and shutters in several of the rooms, say the owner. I think the best thing though has to be the warm ambience that embraces all who enter and it was one of the first things that I noticed. It has the most welcoming atmosphere and visitors always say that it's such a happy house. It's perfect for day-to-day family life and entertaining as there's plenty of space for us all to be together and space to retreat to when in need of some peace and quiet. The stunning Vale of Glamorgan is ideal for long walks and we're within easy reach of several seaside resorts and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The town of Llwynhelig and its independent shops are an absolute delight and we're close to Cardiff and Swansea where we can access a wide range of amenities. The grounds here are magnificent and well-maintained by our gardeners who do fantastic jobs keeping it all looking splendid, whilst being as eco-friendly as possible. The fully enclosed garden is very private so we can relax and enjoy all it has to offer, including the heated swimming pool that is such a luxurious treat to use all year round. There are at least six different seating areas where we can sit with a cold drink and take in the views, including sheep and lambs in the fields. We've lived here for 11 fabulous years and have hosted several charity dinners in the formal dining room and I always enjoy afternoon tea with my friends in the garden. It's a peaceful home with tranquil views from the drawing room, whilst the morning room is the best place to enjoy a coffee and feel at one with the garden. My bedroom is simply outstanding with a dressing room, bay window, and comfortable sofa where I sit with a cup of tea looking out over the grounds. It has taken us nearly 10 years to complete a full renovation where we have enhanced and reinstated the original features wherever possible, including exposed stone walls and wooden panelling. It's all ready and waiting for the new owners to walk in and make their own. Outside - Step outside into the tranquil landscaped gardens of about 1.5 acres that cocoon this beautiful home, to find lawns and mature trees and shrubs cloaking the substantial plot in peace and seclusion. But this outdoor sanctuary can also boast fabulous areas to socialise and make incredible lifelong memories with family and friends, with an enviable number of sun-drenched patios to choose from. The heated outdoor pool is a magnet for gatherings and for fun in the sun, but also for serious swimming as a refreshing start to the day, or a place to find peace as the sun sets and you sip a late-night cocktail. With the newly extensive lighting system this creates a romantic ambience that will take you well into the evening. In fact, it will feel like you're on holiday every day with the pool area enveloped by a patio made for loungers, built in BBQ area and alfresco dining sets and hosting very popular pool parties. There's a kitchen that can provide the food, snacks and drinks, and there's no issue about traipsing any water into the stunning house either, as this party zone has a pool house with shower and toilet facilities too. Taking a pleasant stroll around the landscaped gardens, down charming stone steps, through the gentle topiary designs, and around intriguing stone statues, and the more practical aspects of this special, sunny garden are revealed. The grounds can happily host an area for growing your own produce, provided by an established vegetable patch and supported by a greenhouse, plus there's a number of sheds, a double garage and a workshop. A wander around this wonderful country estate is almost like visiting your own little hamlet, as there is a pretty, detached three-bed home, one-bed timber lodge and shepherd's hut within the grounds, generating extra income as well as effortlessly providing multi-generational living options too. Arriving at the elegant house, the impressive electric metal gates open and invite you in with the promise of the best pool parties and social gatherings in town, so it's handy that the property has oodles of parking space to accommodate everyone for as long as the party lasts.
