freehold family home of huge significance that has scope to be extended to 9 double bedrooms within the existing footprint (subject to necessary consents). The sale includes the clock tower, entrance courtyard and the majority of the 2.5 acre historic grounds and outbuildings.
This wonderful Grade I listed Manor house, located 11 miles from Cardiff and just 4 miles from the coast between hugely sought after Cowbridge and Llantwit Major, in the glorious Vale of Glamorgan, is inextricably linked to what many would regard as one of the most significant events in British history.
We are advised that as tenants, the Carne family had called Nash Manor home since 1432, but they took ownership in 1521 when it was gifted to Sir Edward Carne by Henry VIII in gratitude for his services to the monarchy as Ambassador to Rome when Britain severed ties with the Catholic Church.
The Carne family remained until the mid-20th century (1951).
Whilst retaining so many of the historic gems, the Jacobean staircase and astonishing timber work and panelling in the Drawing Room are worthy of particular reference, Nash Manor has gradually and subtly been transformed into a significant and impressive family home with scope for further enhancement in the South Wing and across the entire second floor.
Approached through the arch beneath the clock tower and through the entrance courtyard, arrival at Nash Manor feels like an event in itself.
The ground floor is blessed with three sizeable reception rooms, the entrance hall could serve as a 'baronial' dining room, a large kitchen/breakfast room with granite topped island and AGA, utility room, guest cloakroom and six different doors accessing the
grounds and gardens.
The first floor comprises five bedrooms and three bathrooms including a south facing principal bedroom with far reaching views towards the coast through an attractive and rare, floor to ceiling sash window. There is scope to install a further suite/home office or ancillary accommodation in the South Wing, accessed from the Jacobean staircase.
The second floor is set into the roof space and only a small proportion has been converted to functioning accommodation (the southern end has served the current owners as a den and office). With the extensive fenestration (8 windows) on this floor, only the expected height restrictions of a pitch roof, the occasional beam and imagination restrict how the new owners could take advantage of the substantial, under-used internal space. Three large double bedrooms appear perfectly achievable (subject to any necessary consents).
Outside
The approach from the road through the main gates and up the woodland bordered drive sets the scene until Nash Manor comes into view as gravel crunches under the tyres. The grounds and gardens are impressive and blend the formal and informal beautifully with a distinct Arts and Crafts flavour as one moves from 'room to room', from formal lawns to a lovingly established 'wildflower' garden and less formal planting beyond. The formal box bordered knot garden with adjacent stone store/outbuilding offers a beautiful secondary entertaining space, The water feature which commands centre stage on the main lawn is also particularly worthy of note.
The large southern lawn offers far reaching views across the adjacent farm land and the gardens as a whole offer a stunning blend of borders, shrubs, ornamental and fruit trees. There is a double garage, further outbuildings, glasshouses requiring some renovation, vegetable gardens and a rear access via a five-bar gate for garden equipment and machinery.
East wing is located 11 miles from Cardiff and just 4 miles from the coast between hugely sought after Cowbridge and Llantwit Major.
