5 bedroom house

"The Green" is a large detached family home and is reputed to date from the early 1800's when it is said to have been a thatched farmhouse used alongside the neighbouring mill. In more recent times, the house has been extended to create a wonderful family home offering accommodation including reception hall, drawing room, sitting room/study, inner hall, kitchen, cloakroom, living room, utility room to the ground floor. To the first floor are all five bedrooms. The largest of these includes an en suite bathroom and balcony looking over the swimming pool and gardens to rear. Three further double bedrooms and one single all have use of the family bathroom and adjacent WC. The Green is situated in a pretty location and stands in approximately 0.28 acres of mature gardens and grounds. The garden to rear enjoys a sunny orientation with an outdoor swimming pool and a detached garage.

Llancarfan has long been recognised as one of the Vale of Glamorgan's prettiest villages with its conservation areas status and is situated in the Valley of the Nant Llancarfan which meanders through the village and is crossed by two fords and a small bridge. The village enjoys a rich history with major monastic activities in the 5th to 12th Centuries although the early settlers in the area were from Roman times. In early times the many local wells were famous for their power of healing certain diseases being blest by the early saints who dwelt there. These days the village comprises mostly individual detached houses including a number of converted former mills, chapels, cottages etc. In the heart of the village is St Cadoc's Church thought to date from the 12th century, The Fox and Hounds, the village hall and tennis club with court.
