SITUATION

The nearby historic market town of Cowbridge has a fine choice of quality shops including Waitrose and a range of services as well as a health centre, leisure centre, various sporting clubs, a public library and Old Hall Community Centre. There is a local primary school at Pendoylan, and Cowbridge has an outstanding secondary school. Closer by is the small village of Aberthin with the famous Hare & Hounds Inn and nearby, the newly opened 'White Lion' Public House in Ystradowen. Cardiff, which has the usual amenities of an important capital city, lies some thirteen miles to the east with mainline rail connections to London in around two hours. The M4 motorway is a short drive to the north, whilst the international airport at Rhoose is highly accessible. There are several golf courses within the area; and the heritage coast with its cliff top walks and mixture of sandy and stone beaches is to the south.

ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Prisk Farm is at its heart a 16th Century farmhouse that has over recent years been completely refurbished to the highest possible standard. Great care was taken to enhance the period features such as original beams, stone staircase, bread ovens and the thick stone walls that grace properties of this period. Overall there is an air of a French country farmhouse with Georgian windows contrasting against the stonework. The house is dominated by the impressive hall with spectacular staircase, French limestone fireplace and stunning wall mural by Welsh artist Gill Nontha. The limestone floors lead through to the drawing room with a wood burning stove and original beams, whilst the family room beyond has patio doors opening onto the walled garden. This side of the house, with its cloakroom and boot room, has been designed to be a self-contained annex if ever required. The Chalon-designed hand painted kitchen includes a four-oven AGA, a kitchen island and is a treat to be in. This opens through to the Orangery that is both an additional dining room and sitting area. Cloak rooms and utility rooms are off. Upstairs there is an oak-floored landing which leads to a stunning master bedroom suite with dressing rooms, an elegant wet room in limestone, and other secrets. There are three further bedrooms (one en-suite) and a third bathroom. A fully decorated and carpeted loft room is above.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The property is bordered by gardens and grounds both to its north and south, in total about 4.5 acres. From the village green, a gated entrance opens on to a sweeping gravelled drive and parking area - to the northern side of Prisk Farm - with an antique, reclaimed well head to the centre. It skirts past a large lawn leading, in turn, onto a paddock of approaching 3.5 acres. The sunny, south facing rear garden is enclosed by stone boundary walls, this sheltered space including lawns, flagstone-paved terraces, trellising and fruit trees.
