Summary - A unique and exciting one-off redevelopment opportunity, to remodel an existing detached bungalow in this much respected village close to Cowbridge. Planning permission has been granted (Vale of Glamorgan Council Reference 2022/0006/FUL) for a stunning and highly stylish contemporary 2 storey detached dwelling, with a total floor area of about 2825 sq feet (263 sq m).

Situation - The property is located just outside the very desirable village of Llandough, and is sited in fine countryside in the Thaw River Valley. This area has been designated as a Special Landscape Area (SLA) which is protected, and where the property enjoys open countryside views to include a wooded river valley to the front elevation, and open farmland to the rear. It is situated within a stones throw from the historic market town of Cowbridge and its excellent shops, restaurants and both primary and secondary schools. Cardiff (14 miles) has all the facilities of an important capital city including Culverhouse Cross Retail Park (9.4 miles).

The Historic Market Town of Cowbridge is at the heart of the rural vale and is famous for its quality, individual shops, boutiques; restaurants, pubs and cafes; and is home to a centrally positioned Waitrose store. Further services include a health centre, leisure centre, various sporting clubs, public library and Old Hall Community Centre. There are also local primary and secondary schools within the town itself. Access both east and west is via the A48, which by-passes the Town. The City of Cardiff which has the usual amenities of a Capital City lies some 13 miles to the east with a main line rail connection to London in around two hours. The M4 motorway lies to the north of Cowbridge and junctions 33, 34 and 35 service "The Vale". There are several golf courses within the area and the heritage coast with its cliff-top walks and mixture of sandy and stony beaches lies to the south and west.

About The Property - The plans envisage a contemporary dwelling providing a magnificent 4 bedroom detached property with feature glazing at first and ground floor levels to maximise the countryside views.
The design incorporates, to the main, the existing footprint of the current bungalow thus eliminating major demolition and substantially reducing building costs.
On the Ground floor there will be a large, open plan family living space Room incorporating the kitchen area, dining area and a snug/TV space, with a separate utility room. There are also two bedrooms on this ground level (one en suite), and where one could be used as a separate lounge if desired, plus there is a family bathroom, and study/home office/ 4th bedroom.
To the first floor, the Architect has generated two layout options. The first being a large family lounge, with a full Master bedroom suite off. This space has a large walk-in / walk-through dressing room, plus a full en-suite bathroom with double vanity sinks, a separate bath and walk-in shower.
The second option has a similar layout as the first, but includes a 4th bedroom at this level, which could be used as a nursery if so desired, or alternatively it could be used as a study/home office area. This second layout option has a Jack and Jill en suite bathroom, off the two bedrooms.
Both of the first floor layout options give access to the front roof terrace from where there are beautiful open country views to the Thaw valley at the front and open farmland to the rear.
The design of the pitched roof at first floor could easily incorporate an integrated solar panel roofing system which, when constructed within the roof, is sleek in design and which will also provide eco friendly power for the home.
This is an amazing opportunity to create a beautiful modern contemporary detached dwelling, where the successful purchaser will be able to put "their own stamp" on it.

Gardens And Grounds - A driveway runs from the village lane via a gated entrance to the parking area to one side of Whips Bungalow. The bungalow itself is surrounded to all four sides by gardens, the rear garden being accessed from steps leading from the driveway. A timber garden store shed, to the south-western side of the property, is to remain.

Additional Information - Freehold. Mains electric and water connect to the property. Cess pit drainage. Council Tax Band: to be confirmed
