2 Seaview As the name aptly describes, this spacious, exquisite, limestone barn conversion, enjoys the very best views across the Bristol Channel to the Devon and Somerset coastline. In addition, it is surrounded by breathtaking countryside and wondrous pebbled beaches, with the Welsh Heritage Coastal Path sat behind the house. It is not hard to comprehend the reasons why the present owners were attracted to Seaview and its outstanding location, and they had no hesitation in deciding to purchase the house nearly three years ago. They have since added their own personality to the house and, not only replaced the kitchen and bathrooms but have brought back to life many of the of the original features, creating an outstanding family home. A spacious, bright and sunny house with copious amounts of glazing, teamed with natural wood and several exposed walls of beautiful limestone, inspirationally marrying a unique blend of tradition and contemporary styles. The layout is extremely flexible, its two reception rooms enabling the owners to utilise one for the rough and tumble of everyday life, whilst the second is elegant and charming. Sunny days are special here, with doors thrown open wide embracing the idyllic surroundings, but cold winter days are magical too, cosy and tucked up with the log burner blazing away. An easy home in which to entertain, especially in the summertime when BBQs with friends and family take place. Guests spill effortlessly into the garden with views across the sea and there is plenty of space for children to play safely and happily. A great amount of love and care has been given to the garden. There is a large lawn with raised flower beds, bordering the meadow, grazed by cattle and lambs. There is also a splendid outbuilding, part of which provides a relaxed, gentle, area in which to sit and savour the remarkable peace and tranquillity of the surroundings. Everything required is easy to reach, including a choice of schools, a local train station and Cardiff International Airport. Cardiff city centre is only ten miles from the house, and the historical town of Llantwit Major is only a stone s throw away with all it has to offer including breath taking walks across the countryside and down to the beach with many traditional watering holes dotted along the way. Also near is the bustling market town of Cowbridge with some of the best restaurants and boutiques in the Vale. An outstanding, stunning, family home from which the owners will be sad to leave, but one which has provided them with a superb quality of life whilst here.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
