SITUATION

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Located to the south side of Bridgend no 82 Merthyr Mawr Road is positioned in a broad section of this most sought after of areas. The property is understood to have been built in the early 20th century and retains a wealth of period features with the modern conveniences required today. The extensive, spacious accommodation must be viewed to be fully appreciated. A porch leads into a most impressive entrance hallway with feature fireplace to one corner and original fitted bench seat adjacent. A central, inner hall beyond has doors leading to the two principal reception rooms and a staircase to the first floor. An additional door leads to a ground floor cloakroom / WC. A drawing room has a bay window looking over the lawned front garden whilst a considerably larger family lounge/dining room runs the width of the property with a broad, tall window to the side, driveway elevation and double, French doors leading to a paved patio area with garden beyond. This is a most sizeable family space with ample room for a generous dining table and for plenty of seating. It has, as a focal feature, an electric fire recessed within the chimney breast. Beyond the dining area is the kitchen, positioned to the rear of the property with a broad window looking out over the rear garden; a door opens to the patio area while a further door opens to a side entrance linking to the driveway. The kitchen itself includes a good range of modern units with appliances, where fitted, to remain and including an electric hob, double oven, fully integrated dishwasher and fridge; a matching fitted dresser unit with glass fronted display cupboards is to remain. There is space to the centre of the room for a breakfast table. Additional utility space is located to the rear of the garage. To the first floor a light filled, galleried landing area has doors leading to all bedrooms, the bathroom and to the separate WC. A hatch provides access to a substantial, boarded attic space via a pull down ladder - an ideal additional space ripe for conversion (subject to any appropriate consents). The principal bedroom looks to the front elevation with a bay window to the same. A second large double room looks over the rear garden and includes a hand basin and a very good range of fitted wardrobes. The third double bedroom has wardrobes flanking the doorway and looks over the rear garden while a fourth double bedroom looks to the front. A fifth child s nursery / study looks to the side driveway. The bathroom itself includes a bath and a separate shower cubicle; there is a separate WC.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

The property itself is positioned within a generous garden plot as is befitting a property of this era. There is vehicular access from Merthyr Mawr via a drop-down kerb onto a long block paved driveway. The driveway runs past a well tended lawned front garden and continues to the side elevation to the principal entrance doorway and onto the garage. Garage (approx. max 4.7m x 3m) is entered via an up and over door. It includes, to one end, a utility area. Block paved driveway sweeps around to the front of the property and leads, via a timber gated entrance, to one side into the rear garden. The long rear garden is, like the front garden, extremely well tended with a wonderfully well tended lawn bordered to one side by a long path and an adjacent deep shrub border. A section of garden including the garage area has received residential planning permission and is not included in the sale.
