DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Kingsland is a fantastic property believed to be over 200 years old and which has been extended by the current owners yet still offers opportunities to refurbish and further extend (subject to any appropriate permissions). The accommodation is surprisingly generous and all the living rooms are positioned to benefit from the southerly aspect. There is an extremely large lounge with wood burner stove and enjoying views to the south and west aspect and is a more modern addition to the property. A central hallway includes a feature fireplace and stairs, with store cupboard beneath, leading to the first floor. A principal family living room also includes a period exposed stone fireplace with wooden over-mantle beam and recessed wood burner within and a broad, deep square bay window to the front elevation with expansive, panoramic views over own gardens and grounds and in a southerly direction over the Upper Thaw Valley. From here a door leads into a study area off which is a cloakroom. The kitchen, to the eastern side of the property, a gate features a broad window looking over front gardens and grounds. There are a number of storage cupboards with ample room remaining for a large family sized dining table. Beyond this is a utility room/scullery and a side entrance porchway. To the first floor the three largest bedrooms all enjoy that panoramic view and all these three have hand basins in the rooms. The fourth bedroom is another double positioned to the rear of the property. There are two bathrooms shared by these bedrooms.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS Kingsland is positioned in an unrivalled location a short drive from St Mary Church Village; Cowbridge town is two and a half miles beyond. It is set above the roadway level and as a result enjoys a great deal of privacy, being screened from this by hedging. It has its own sizeable surrounding gardens and grounds. The principal garden space is to the south and east of the property, there being a wooded embankment to the rear of the property with additional land to the west.

From the roadway frontage, a pillared entrance leads onto a tarmac topped driveway parking and turning area. Lawns adjoin this whilst paths lead through the paved patio gardens immediately fronting Kingsland and continue to the prnciapl entrance doorway. Paths run onto the gardens and also to the outdoor heated swimming pool and an adjoining timber summer house/changing room which also houses the heating/filtration kit for the swimming pool.

Within yards of Kingsland itself is a range of stone built barns. It is understood that planning permission has been granted previously for it to be converted into a ‘Granny Annexe’, though any new buyer would need to reapply for permission. The three barns are adjoining yet separately accessed and currently used as a storage space, snooker room (with full size snooker table) and wood store, there being two further adjacent, open carport areas.

The land surrounding Kingsland has been planted and maintained by the family for over 50 years ago and includes a range of maturing larch trees, ash, sycamore and apple with tended paths throughout. There is a paddock area within the curtilage to the west of the ground. The land in total - including woodland, gardens and paddock - runs to about 9.7 acres.

TENURE AND SERVICES Freehold. Mains electric connects to the property. LPG fired central heating. Supplementary hot water from wood burner to one of the living rooms. Bore hole water supply with filtration/pumping kit housed within summer house.
