A stunning house nestled on the edge of Cardiff offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a perfect commuter dream home. The Old Rectory, surrounded by six acres of breathtaking grounds, provides a serene rural retreat just a 10-minute drive away from the bustling capital.
Tucked away off a meandering lane connecting Cardiff to the village of Llandough in the Vale of Glamorgan, The Old Rectory welcomes visitors with an impressive tree-lined driveway leading to its grand six-bedroom residence. Behind its charming stone facade lies a beautifully renovated home that exudes elegance and timeless decor.
Former residents have spoken of the tranquil and naturally beautiful setting of the rectory, with its expansive six-acre plot including four acres of woodland. One previous owner fondly recalled the joy of family gatherings at Christmas, describing the property as a magical place reminiscent of Narnia, especially when covered in snow.
The current owners have poured love and attention into restoring and renovating the house, blending period features with modern comforts seamlessly. The result is a turn-key property where new owners can simply move in and bask in the semi-rural lifestyle The Old Rectory offers, while still being a stone’s throw away from the city.
Boasting a price tag of £17 million, this remarkable residence is listed for sale with Jeffrey Ross, Pontcanna, and Herbert R Thomas, Cowbridge. The property features a winding driveway, ample parking, and two acres of well-manicured gardens providing a safe and private space for children and pets to enjoy.
Upon stepping inside, guests are greeted with a meticulously restored interior, including a spacious drawing room with period features, a cosy lounge with bespoke carpentry, and a stunning kitchen diner perfect for social gatherings. The house comprises six bedrooms, with the principal bedroom offering a luxurious ensuite and dressing room.
For added flexibility, the property includes a versatile annexe with its kitchen and shower room, ideal for multi-generational living or Airbnb rental. With four bathrooms, including three ensuites, every corner of The Old Rectory exudes luxury and comfort.
The house’s exceptional blend of rural charm and city convenience makes it a standout opportunity for those seeking a unique and captivating living experience.
