Five Bedrooms and two Bathrooms. Garage and Workshop Block. Large charming Gardens with Orchard, Vegetable Garden, Paddock. Secondary glazed throughout. Freehold. Price £i5Ü,UÛG This early property restored to retain it's Period charm and with lots of interesting features, provides a substantial spacious luxurious family home of character. Probably dating from the 17th Century the property has had little by way of additions made to it and is therefore a striking example of a thatched farmhouse. Internally there is a good modern Kitchen with adjacent Breakfast area, modern Bathrooms and Cloakroom combining well with the particularly spacious and attractive Reception Rooms. The village of Llampha is rural and off the beaten track yet there are three M4 access points within approximately 10 minutes travelling and the industrial area of Bridgend lies close by yet entirely separate from the village, the general station with its high speed trains to London being less than 3 miles away. The Capital City is some 25 minutes away, with Swansea approximately 30 minutes. Cowbridge, the Vale of Glamorgáns' market town is approximately 5 miles away, with its health centre, library, leisure centre in course of construction and general excellent guality shopping.

One of the most ethnically diverse of Cardiff's suburbs, with a significant Asian population such as Pakistanis and Indians, Canton has a population just in excess of 13,000. Canton, Cardiff 2 The name (from "St. Canna's Town") refers to the 6th century female saint after whom Pontcanna is also named. Canton, also known as Treganna (tref town + Saint Canna), was a 13th century manor in Llandaff. It became part of Victorian era Cardiff in 1875 [1] . History Middle Ages Canton, or Treganna in the Welsh language, was formed around a 13th century Manor in Cardiff and assumed lands from nearby Llandaff and Leckwith parishes under the stewardship of an Earl (or Baron) de Kanetune, although today the manor comes under the jurisdiction of the Manor of Llandaff. It is believed that Canton is named after St Canna, the holy matron in the Celtic age of Saints, and Canna herself is reputed to have been a relative of King Arthur In 1215 a parishioner called Lucia de Kanetune is recorded as occupying a field ‘near the Earl's wall’.
