Hillcroft, Heol Y Cawl, Dinas Powys, The Vale Of Glamorgan, CF64

Tucked discreetly along one of the oldest lanes in the village, this substantial five-bedroom character home with surprisingly large garden, driveway & detached garage is a rare opportunity. Overview. Once three individual cottages dating from circa 1750, the property has been sympathetically combined and extended to create a spacious and flexible home extending to approximately 2,700 sq ft. Located within the Dinas Powys Conservation Area, Heol y Cawl ("Broth Lane" in English) is famed for its pre-19th-century cottages, charmingly built right onto the narrow, pavement-less roadway, preserving a traditional village aesthetic. With the village square, train station, common and golf club all just a short stroll away, the property combines historic charm with modern-day convenience. Ground Floor A solid wood entrance door opens into a stunning split-level hallway, flooded with light from extensive glazing and a beautiful stained-glass panel located on the landing. A white-painted balustrade staircase winds up to a galleried landing, framed by vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, creating a truly memorable first impression. The hallway flows naturally into the principal living areas and opens directly onto the garden. There are three principal reception rooms overall, all with large windows enjoying a southerly aspect and all opening directly onto the garden-making them wonderfully light-filled. The principal lounge is spacious and elegant, with exposed beams, a picture window and wood-burning stove set in a traditional inglenook fireplace. Reception 2, currently used as a gym and informal study area, features a second fireplace (gas fed cast iron stove), French doors to the garden and ample floor space suitable for a family room or games room. Ground Floor Continued.. The third reception space is set up as a dining room, with a charming stone staircase and access to the garden. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, with traditional painted timber ceilings, tiled flooring and a green dual-fuel range cooker with a tiled splash back. Shaker-style cabinetry, wooden worktops, and integrated display shelving provide a perfect balance of style and practicality. A generous walk-in pantry sits just off the kitchen, providing excellent additional storage. The ground floor also benefits from a separate utility room, and two cloakrooms. The entrance hallway, kitchen, and all three main receptions enjoy direct garden views through their southerly-facing windows and doors, which bathe each space in natural light. First Floor. Upstairs, the first floor comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged off an impressive landing. The master bedroom features vaulted ceilings, painted beams and a large window with views over the garden. This room also benefits from built-in shelving and an en-suite bathroom. Four further double bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for family members or guests, with a second bathroom serving these rooms. Outside The property presents a striking fa?ade of whitewashed stone under a slate roof, complete with rooflights and historic street-facing walls. The mature and surprisingly large south facing garden is a highlight of the property and a block-paved driveway and substantial detached garage provides valuable off-street parking. To the rear, a flagstone patio provides a peaceful area for outdoor dining set amongst a water feature, mature trees and planting. A low stone wall encloses raised beds and leads to a lawn and planting areas beyond, creating a wild and private retreat. The space is well-suited to families or gardeners alike.
