RHOSLWYN COTTAGE
Who’s not dreamed of living in a stone built cottage, full of character in a pretty village in the Vale of Glamorgan that’s just a hop, skip and a jump from the beautiful Heritage coastline?
If that’s you, then this is your chance to own a charming cottage in a large plot in the village of St Brides Major. Picture box perfect, the property includes kitchen/dining room, lounge with feature fireplace, two double bedrooms, bathroom and large enclosed gardens with off road parking. If you were so inclined, you could even extend the property to a four bedroomed one, subject to the relevant planning consents.
We spoke to owners Mr and Mrs Martin on why they chose to live in Rhoslwyn and, more importantly, how could they possibly think of leaving…
How long have you been lving at the property?
Rhoslwyn has been our home for the last two years.
What improvements have you made to the property?
We’ve decorated and renovated, but we bought it because of the potential to extend or perhaps to build another property. However, due to our change in life direction we haven’t had the time to extend but it would make an outstanding four bedroomed, two bathroomed property with three reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room, and the house would still have a large garden.
Tell us more about your change of direction, that sounds intriguing?
It’s always been our dream to buy a boat and sail around the world. Luckily we’ve been able to find the yacht to make this dream come true and we’re planning to make this dream a reality.
Why do you like living there?
It is close to the beautiful Heritage coast for amazing walks, also St Brides is a lovely village with a great sense of community. The village school has an excellent reputation and feeds into the highly acclaimed Cowbridge school. The two pubs in the village can keep all tastes happy with The Farmers being very food orientated and The Fox & Hounds being a local’s watering hole. Close by in Southerndown is the highly regarded Le Plie restaurant and for the best pizza in Wales, we have the popular Tempus Fugit which also has amazing views of the sunset. There really is something to suit every palate and all within close proximity.
Our neighbours are really friendly, from a diverse spectrum of professions. The village shop saves a visit to larger grocery stores and, again, the sense of friendship exudes with locals stopping to chat while they go about their business. Our local church is steeped in history and is the perfect place to confess your sins!
Rhoslwyn is a homely but stylish house with a good mix of traditional style and modern conveniences. We love its cosiness and the fact that it has a large, enclosed private garden. VALE LIFE
