Although enjoying the benefits of a rural community, the Village is accessible to the Historic Market Town of Cowbridge and to the nearby Town of Llantwit Major (approximately 4 miles) which both include a comprehensive range of commercial, retail and leisure facilities and to the Town of Bridgend (some 6 miles) which offers a comprehensive commercial, retail and leisure amenities.

About The PropertyStepping inside Dunnock House, you are immediately struck by the sense of space and light. A welcoming entrance hall, with oak flooring and a traditional balustrade staircase, sets the tone for the rest of the property, offering useful storage and direct access to the principal reception rooms.

The lounge is a bright and elegant space, enhanced by French doors with side panels that open onto the south facing front garden and flood the room with natural light. A wood-burning stove, set on a slate hearth, forms a charming focal point, creating a cosy yet refined atmosphere. Beyond, the sitting room offers a more relaxed setting, with French doors opening directly to the rear garden, making it an ideal space for quiet family time or a secondary lounge.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan kitchen-dining-living room, an immensely versatile space thoughtfully designed to accommodate modern family living, with ample room for dining, informal seating focused around a wood burning stove, and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units; the 'Rangemaster' range cooker is to stay; space remains for a dishwasher, wine fridge and low level fridge. The adjacent integral garage provides space for additional appliances. The most recent addition to Dunnock House is a large extension beyond the kitchen and accessed from the same. It brings significant extra accommodation, providing a utility area with space and plumbing for a washer and drier; a study; and a dining room - though these of course can be suited to many and varied uses.

To the first floor, a solid oak staircase rises to a striking gallery-style landing, illuminated by both a front-facing window and a rooflight above. From here, doors lead to all four bedrooms, to the modern family bathroom with its bath and shower; and to a separate WC. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with four skylight windows offering superb natural light and open views across the village onto countryside beyond. It benefits from a well-appointed en suite shower room, finished in a modern style with a large walk-in shower, wash hand basin, and w.c. The three further bedrooms are all bright and versatile, two generous doubles enjoying southerly views across the front garden and a fourth single bedroom overlooking the rear towards open countryside.

Gardens And GroundsFrom Chapel Road a drop down kerb leads to a tarmacadam driveway which also provides parking for a number of cars. The front garden enjoys a sunny southerly orientation and is mainly laid to lawn but has been landscaped by the current owner to contain a variety of different flowers, plants and shrubs. A pathway extends along the western side of the house providing access to the rear garden. The rear garden has again been landscaped to create a delightful, sheltered patio courtyard garden accessed from the new extension and from the sitting room; steps lead up to the adjoining paddock enjoying wonderful views over open countryside.
