The first floor offers four bedrooms, with two bathrooms. Substantial plot of circa 0.5 acres of quality gardens and grounds that wrap around the property.
Graig Penllyn is one of the most popular villages in the Vale with a good mixture of individual properties grouped around local facilities including the Barley Mow, playing field, tennis courts, playground etc. Although the location is pleasantly rural it is no more than a few minutes drive into the market town of Cowbridge with more extensive facilities including schooling of excellent reputation for all ages, a wide range of shops both national and local, sporting and recreational facilities including leisure centre, cricket club, squash club, tennis club etc. Although situated very much in the heart of the rural Vale of Glamorgan, Graig Penllyn is well placed for commuting to major centres including the capital city of Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bridgend etc.
