This charming stone farmhouse, believed to date back to the Victorian era, presents a unique opportunity for renovation or redevelopment. Situated on 3.2 acres of garden and pasture land on the outskirts of St. Hilary, this property boasts stunning panoramic views that stretch across the countryside and towards the heritage coastline and Bristol Channel. Its elevation at approximately 137 meters above sea level offers a rare vantage point for enjoying the serene landscape.
Currently in need of extensive renovation, the farmhouse holds significant potential with existing planning permission (reference number: 2022/01085/FUL) for demolition and construction of a new dwelling, which would encompass around 6,000 square feet. This also includes plans for improved access from the A48, making it even more appealing for investors looking to capitalize on modern construction standards while retaining the property's inherent charm.
The existing layout features three living rooms and four bedrooms—ideal for families seeking space and comfort—or as part of a transformative redesign. The ground floor includes a variety of communal areas such as a sitting room with captivating views, a living room that opens up to the rear garden, and a dining room equipped with traditional fireplace details. The kitchen connects conveniently to utility facilities. Upstairs are the bedrooms that continue to showcase those remarkable views over the Vale of Glamorgan.
Beyond the main house, various outbuildings are located on-site—including a two-storey stone barn with distinctive architectural elements—offering further renovation possibilities or space for ancillary accommodation. The natural setting is enhanced by mature trees lining both sides of an impressive gated entrance, leading up to well-defined areas suitable for gardens or pasture land.
The location itself is strategically positioned just south of the A48 and only a few miles from Cowbridge—a market town known for its excellent schools, diverse shopping options including local retailers and national chains like Waitrose, as well as numerous recreational facilities such as sports clubs and leisure centres. Proximity to major roads provides convenient access to Cardiff and other urban centers while maintaining the tranquility that comes with rural living.
With its blend of historical character, ample grounds, and substantial redevelopment potential within an attractive locale, this property stands out as an excellent investment opportunity in today’s market.
