Property of the Week: A remarkable four-bed property with modern features in the village of Llanblethian near Cowbridge

This week's property is a four-bed, four-bath modern home with idyllic countryside views for £1,295,000 and listed with Harris & Birt.

Here's what they have to say about it:

A simply stunning individual detached property created by the chartered architect head of an architectural studio, specialising in RIBA conservation, for his occupation based on a detached stone-built cottage called "The Glebe".

The Glebe is referenced in the Cowbridge Record Society book Llanblethian Buildings and People, it is described as a "Lobby Entry back-to-back fireplace house from the 17th-century".

This is further supported by the book Glamorgan Farmhouses and Cottages which backs up this finding with 1730s documentation and information held by The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic monuments.

The present owner has created this amazing property by combining the essential character of the original cottage with a cutting-edge extension full of light and using the best of contemporary finishes and materials.

The attached photographs and specifications give you an idea of what has been achieved but are forewarned you will not be able to stifle the "wow" as you walk around.

Briefly, the usefully flexible accommodation includes three reception areas, a splendid kitchen/dining room, four bedrooms and four bathrooms including a guest suite and a superb master suite with its terrace overlooking the garden and countryside beyond.
