SituationThe Village of Llancarfan is positioned within gently rolling countryside and contains a number of period houses, a primary school, church and public house. Although enjoying the benefits of a rural community, the village is accessible to the nearby Town of Cowbridge and is within the catchment area of the town's well regarded comprehensive school to which there is a bus service. The historic town of Cowbridge includes a range of quality shops, restaurants, a public library, health centre, a leisure centre and various sporting clubs. The heritage coastline lies to the south and west, with its beautiful cliff top walks and mixture of sandy and stony beaches. The City of Cardiff is also within reach via the A48 road and the M4 motorway provides access to other major commercial centres in the region. There is a main-line railway station at Cardiff providing direct access to London in around two hours.

About The PropertyCliff Barn is a period barn, converted in 2009. It has, more recently, been further improved by the current owners to provide an exceptionally stylish, understated interior with thoughtfully considered accommodation and quite wonderful panoramic views over the Nant Carfan. From the side paved garden area, a stable door leads into the kitchen. The kitchen itself includes a stylish range of ‘Laura Ashley’ units with Mandarin Stone porcelain tiles; appliances, where fitted, are to remain and include integral washing machine and slimline dishwasher. An ‘Everhot’ two oven electric range can remain by separate negotiation; likewise a separate freestanding fridge/freezer. The central heart of the kitchen has ample room for a family-sized dining table and bi-fold doors to one wall, the ideal position from which to enjoy the outstanding views over the surrounding area. A woodburning stove provides an additional focus. The porcelain tiles extend into a ground floor WC/cloakroom. A second stable door opens to a further sheltered courtyard garden while an open square arch links to the living room. This large living space remains cosy with plenty of space for a dining table and seating. Bespoke timber staircase leads to the first floor while a further open arch leads into a second, family sitting room, a neat space with arched, glazed windows surrounded by exposed original stonework looking onto the courtyard garden and over the same glorious views.

To the first floor the principal bedroom is a good double and, like all bedrooms, open to the pitch of the roof with exposed timbers. A window looks from this largest bedroom to enjoy the view with a stable door opening to an external stone staircase. The main bedroom has its own en suite shower room. The second largest bedroom has a window also enjoying the same while bedrooms three and four both have skylight windows and are both single rooms. The family bathroom has a contemporary finish including shower over bath.

Gardens And GroundsAccessed from the village lane, a broad, double width timber gated entrance leads to a driveway parking area adjacent to Cliff Barn. The barn and its plot are in an elevated location and the views throughout are overwhelming, looking north towards Llancarfan in a south-westerly direction towards the coast over the Nant Carfan Valley. There is ample parking for at least 3 cars on this tarmac space with steps leading down to a side courtyard garden and the main entrance to the property. The flagstone paving extends to the front of the property, to an additional seating area over-looked by the kitchen/dining space. This is 'Pole Position' from which to enjoy the panorama.
