Maerdy Newydd Farmhouse

Maerdy Newydd Farmhouse has been sympathetically modernised and renovated by the current vendors over the period of time that they have occupied this period farmhouse, the property in itself is thought to date back to the early 1800's and retains an abundance of character features throughout the property. The fusion between the modern kitchen and bathroom, against the exposed beam work, pointed stone and open fireplaces offers modern family living throughout with the benefit of farmhouse, country style. There is plenty of potential with the vendors gaining planning permission for two large extensions, detached garage and leisure facility conversion that would turn the property into something even more grand, however, make no mistake the property is in immaculate condition already.

The accommodation, set across two floors briefly comprises; entrance hall, living room, drawing room, study, WC, playroom, large heart of the home kitchen/dining/family room, inner hall, utility room and conservatory to ground floor. Stairs lead up to an attractive master suite with bedroom and en suite, as well as four further bedrooms and bathroom two to the first floor.

To the outside are circa 2 acres of grounds, double electric gated entrance through into large concrete laid driveway (planning to erect a detached garage), gravelled steps lead down to an attractive timber pergola and decked area, marble laid patio terrace, all south facing and leads across to the leisure facility (in need of renovation), lawned garden and paddock beyond.
