Step Inside: - Step inside this handsome and impressive home between two grand columns reminiscent of a Georgian country. It is the most inviting of welcomes that includes a covered veranda, offering a place to sit, relax and enjoy views of the garden even when it's raining. Push the front door open and the generous hallway is a grand greeting that's befitting a house of this stature, combined with an inviting ambience. A window immediately opposite frames a glimpse of the delightful inner courtyard and the bespoke staircase beckons you upwards, but there's much to find on the ground floor first. To the front of the house, either side of the entrance, there is a bedroom with an ensuite that can offer guest accommodation and multi-generational living options, but it's at the rear of the property that the home truly comes alive. Three substantial reception spaces run the width of the house and are joined by the welcome surprise of a leisure suite that's hiding behind one of the garages, offering a sizable indoor heated swimming pool that opens out to the garden terrace via bifold doors, so the pool party can seamlessly transition from water to garden. The well-designed family home can boast high-end additions including underfloor heating and Jerusalm stone used throughout plus the huge windows, many of them spanning a floor-to-ceiling position, have been thoughtfully designed with oak used on inside and uPVC on the outside. Maybe the most evident room for oozing luxury though is the kitchen, fitted only a year ago with designer units from Anderson hiding a range of appliances and flanking a huge central island unit. The bifold doors at one end of the room connect the kitchen seamlessly to the garden terrace and at the other end of this sizeable space is a dining area that can easily welcome all the family to enjoy a feast together, then relax in a comfy armchair or sink into a sofa within the lounge area of this most sociable of spaces. The kitchen has double doors out to the inviting inner courtyard but also into the adjacent formal dining space that is so spacious you can increase the dining table size to fit however many guests you want to entertain. At the other end of this central reception room is a delightful garden room area, home to a curved exterior wall with multiple windows and French doors offering different angles of the rear garden from different, well-positioned sofas. The dining room flows seamlessly into the main lounge, which is also a vast space but feels cosy too due to the impressive stone fireplace. This beautifully carved beast is home to a substantial log burner that can effortlessly draw people to it, and persuade them to relax on the sofas that nestle around it. The ground floor also offers a practical shower room by the pool, a utility room and handy cloakroom before the impressive carved wooden staircase calls you to explore the first floor. Upstairs there are more surprising and fabulous design features to find, and as soon as you get to the top of the stairs the first becomes evident. Instead of a standard landing this thoughtfully designed home offers you a first floor reception area that can be a music room, library, study, artist studio,or snug - whatever an owner desires can be accommodated. This double-height area has a wall of towering floor-to-ceiling glass that offers mesmerising views on one side and access to the balcony overlooking the inner courtyard on the other side. From quiet reading to evening drinks in a more intimate setting, this additional area is a wonderful and inviting space. More surprises wait to impress as you wander past a double bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, to a door at the end. Behind it is a spacious gym that can happily host a significant number of machines and offer rural views to accompany your workout. Finally the principal bedroom on the other side of the landing lounge is a wonderful suite, boasting a wall of wardrobes, a separate room that would make a dressing room to make the neighbours jealous, and a four piece bathroom that can relax or revive in the bath or the shower at each end or the start of a busy day. Outside - Step outside into an idyllic, mature garden that surrounds this special home, offering about 1.25 acres of land to explore and enjoy combined with social spaces next to the house to gather with family and friends. Anyone who visits will immediately be impressed just arriving at the substantial iron gates, inviting you to meander up the driveway to the handsome modern mansion. Of course, there's ample parking space for guests to use, as well as a double and single garage for the owners' cars, but they are more likely to be distracted by the views of the enchanting garden that greet them. The house has been designed with socialising at its core and that includes the outside spaces too. At the rear of the house is an immaculately landscaped garden that boasts a substantial terrace that can be seamlessly accessed from most of the ground floor rooms. It is the perfect place to party and enjoy alfresco dining and summer BBQs, with an impressive water feature as the mesmerising backdrop. The indoor heated swimming pool is the base for fabulous pool parties that can effortlessly flow out onto the terrace via a bank of bifold doors, as well as offering an option for daily exercise to supplement the workout in the first floor gym. Plenty of flat lawn areas are ideal for children and dogs to exercise and play, and there's plenty of space to establish growing your own produce with a greenhouse to support the endeavour. The tranquil country scene is completed to picturesque perfection with the discovery of a trickling stream at the bottom of the garden. But that's not the end of the outdoor offerings, as the house is hiding a delightful inner central courtyard with a stone fountain, feeling more like an Italian villa than an impressive home in the heart of south Wales.
