DESCRIPTION
A beautifully restored and improved four bedroom semi-detached character cottage, built circa 1870, and providing 1591 square feet of comfortable living space, with spectacular views across rolling fields and countryside. This impressive period home, has been extensively modernised by the recent owners, and is being sold with a lawned rear garden and a further 215 FT long miniature field. The stunning rural location, is adjacent to protected woodland, and opposite acres of fields and paddocks, but approached by a private entrance drive providing space for 2/3 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 a full re-wire in 2007, a new gas boiler circa 2012, a fully fitted kitchen and dining room (24'2 x 13'1), PVC double glazed replacement windows, re-plastered walls and ceilings throughout, a sophisticated intruder alarm, and a large and stylish modern family bathroom, with both shower and bath. This former miners cottage was constructed with local stone from near by quarries, and some walls are around a meter thick. External stone work was re pointed circa 2010, and the main roof was replaced in the late 1980's.
