Description

Lydmore Mill is a historic water mill with Georgian influence, now a unique smallholding comprising house, stables, detached outbuilding and attractive pasture situated in the Dyffryn Valley offering excellent semi -rural location with easy access to Barry, Cowbridge, Cardiff and the M4 corridor alike but offering idyllic privacy and seclusion.

In total the parcel sits in 8.58 acres of quality pasture. The vendors have resided since the late 1970's and this is always a glowing recommendation of the quality of property - in that timeframe the land has used the land mainly for equestrian purposes. The property is accessed via an adopted highway that traverses into a private lane.

The property itself is spacious, circa 3,600 sq/ft, and benefits from an abundance of character. There are Georgian influences throughout with double pillared entrance and whilst the property has been extended profusely, there is still potential for further development. Accommodation throughout briefly comprises; double height entrance vestibule, cloakroom, drawing room, snug, dining room, inner hall, WC, study, boiler room, utility, breakfast room and kitchen. There is a main stairwell from entrance vestibule and a further secondary stairwell from inner hall. The first floor benefits from large master suite with master bedroom, dressing room and en suite, bedroom 2, bedroom 3 and bathroom 2. There is a further en suite bedroom 4 and bedroom 5 to the Northern wing of the property.

There is an impressive stable block that benefits from power and light, sizeable foaling stables under a slate pitched roof and concrete base. There is a further outbuilding that is double height and provides excellent potential for conversion, currently in use as workshop and store room.
