Situation

About The PropertyThe Ramblers is a cottage of immense character - one of the “Treasures of the Vale of Glamorgan” thought to date back originally over 300 years. It has been extended in more recent years to offer significant, additional spacious accommodation. An entrance porch opens into a ground floor hallway from which a staircase leads to the first floor and doors lead to the kitchen/breakfast room and to the family lounge. The family lounge is a cosy space with deep silled window looking to the front elevation and features a particularly deep inglenook style-fireplace with multi-fuel stove resting on a flagstone hearth and timber over mantle beam. A barn door connects from here to the dining room, at a lower level to the original property. This large, additional reception room features a wood burning stove and is beautifully placed to enjoy the southerly aspect with double, French doors opening out onto – and looking out over – a decked seating area with lawn beyond, beyond which are open fields and farmland. The kitchen/breakfast room is a cosy space with two oven LPG-fired Aga and separate electric hob and electric oven. Integrated appliances, where fitted, are to remain and include slimline dishwasher, fridge-freezer. There remains ample room for a dining table. Linking both the kitchen/breakfast room to the dining room is a neat rear entrance lobby with considerable potential for many and varied uses, such as family room or playroom. Off here there is a ground floor WC and a utility area with space and plumbing for washing machine, a dryer and for additional storage. Doors lead from here to the off-road parking area to the back of the property.

To the first floor the landing area has doors leading to all three bedrooms and to the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is to the rear of the property from which there are immense, far reaching southerly views over the rear garden and the surrounding farmland. This double room has painted pine floorboards, a great range of fitted wardrobes and its own shower room with shower and basin. The second bedroom is especially generous with a range of fitted bookcases; the third bedroom includes bespoke, handmade wardrobes and storage. The second and third bedrooms both share use of the modern family bathroom (newly fitted 2024).

Gardens And GroundsThe Ramblers is to the south eastern edge of the village of Colwinston, where the village road meets the lane leading down to Llysworney . It fronts onto the village lane while vehicular access to the off-road parking area is off the Llysworney road. The front forecourt garden is enclosed by stone walling and featuring a Victorian-era post box (it was the Village Post Office may years ago). A pedestrian gated entrance opens on to a paved path, through planted flower and shrub beds, to the entrance porch. The rear of the property enjoys a fine southerly aspect, there being double, French doors opening from the dining area to a seating area beyond which is a larger lawn running to the rear boundary wall. This rear garden benefits most from the southerly aspect and the spectacular view, looking out over the open fields and farmland.
