DESCRIPTION
A truly unique opportunity to acquire a large four bedroom period house, providing 2281 square feet of living space, with a further row of stone cottages with planning to be converted into two houses, together with 11 acres of Equestrian friendly paddock and wood land with stables, garages, hay barns and various out buildings. Glebeland Cottage is a beautifully restored and improved four bedroom semi-detached character cottage, built circa 1870, and boasting spectacular uninterrupted views across rolling fields and countryside. This impressive period home, has been extensively modernised by the recent owners, and occupies a stunning rural location, adjacent to protected woodland, and opposite acres of fields and paddocks, but approached by a private entrance drive providing space for several cars. The delightful location is just a short drive and walk from the pretty village of Gwaelod Y Garth, whilst a little further is a railway station in both Radyr and Taffswell, and excellent local primary and secondary schools. The property is being sold with early possession, and recent improvements include considerable upgrade and modification of existing electrical installation including new consumer units and a complete new smoke alarm system, a new gas boiler, and two new Chesneys wood burner installed in 2020.

The Property 
Further improvements include a fully fitted kitchen, a large dining room (15’0 x 13’6), PVC double glazed replacement windows, re-plastered walls and ceilings throughout, and a capacious luxury new family bathroom with both a free standing bath, twin wash hand basins, a wc and a large walk-in contemporary shower.

This former miners cottage was constructed with local stone from near by quarries, and some walls are around a meter thick. The well planned and versatile accommodation also comprises a large entrance reception hall (18’5 x 11’1), a capacious lounge (15’3 16’0) inset with a log burner, a charming sitting room (14’0 x 12’0) also inset with a log burner, a 22 FT long conservatory, a down stairs cloak room with a style new white suite, and a combined 14 FT entrance porch and utility room. The property has mains electricity, private drainage (independent sceptic tank), LPG gas heating with panel radiators and a neatly concealed under ground gas tank located in the gardens, ‘whilst water is provided by a compliant, filtered and checked water bore hole installed in 2024. This of course will save the new owners a large amount of standard water utility charges, with a quality source of underground mineral water supplied and processed by high tech filters systems.
