Description
The building can be divided into three sections – cottage, main house and remaining former mill/factory as noted. It currently provides 5 bedroomed accommodation, together with a kitchen, 2 receptions, study, large games room, 2 bathrooms, 1 shower room, together with two large areas on the far end which are suitable for conversion into further living purposes. As currently arranged, it sleeps up to 12 people.

The entrance lane bounds with mature woodland on one side, and overlooks a long narrow dingle and pastureland beyond on the valley bottom. You pass a derelict woollen mill ‘Glan Bargoed’ on the track. On arriving at the property, the building is set just off from the steep wooded bank, and overlooks the valley to its fore, and from the dwelling’s grounds, you look up and down the valley, with mature woodlands flanking the level pasture/amenity land that lies along the valley bottom.

The dwelling sections of the building have smooth rendered external front and side walls, under a traditional slate roof, and have been subject to various upgrading works over the years, but still retaining various character features such as tiled floors, open beamed ceilings and double glazed timber sash windows (replaced under 10 years ago). The cottage section boiler was replaced in 2023, and is now an external based appliance.

Externally
On approaching the dwelling, you can see a small grassed paddock on the right hand side with access off to a larger pasture field, running back down the valley, and bounding with the Nant Bargoed River along the far side. A narrow wooded strip lies below the entrance track. The pasture field merges into a more overgrown area of field. This area bounds on its northern end with the terrace of Glynteg cottages and Ffynnondudur Farm.

To the front of the dwelling is a spacious gravelled car parking/turning area, with mature trees, former water leat collection pond area, and large grassed garden area. A post and rail timber fence separates the river bank from the garden. Two foot bridges cross the leat drainage ditch in this garden area, one leading into a long narrow pasture field to the south of the dwelling. Walking along this field or pathways along the woodland to the south, by crossing the river at the far end to another wooded area, and beyond that, crossing the river again, you access some purpose excavated ponds always known as the ‘trout ponds’ with a further woodland area beyond that. The woodland area turns due east at the far end along another stream and runs for a further distance until reaching the boundary. There is another pasture field to the north of the dwelling providing further access to the river.

From looking at the Ordnance Survey map, no public rights of way affect the property.

The property totals to some 38 acres or thereabouts of which from looking at the attached os plan, some 24½ acres or thereabouts can be classed as mature woodland, with the balance made up of Dwelling & curtilage, track, pasture, amenity land, and river.

To the rear of the building is a 10’ approx. Wide grassed access way, and external oil-fired central heating boiler (installed 2023) and plastic central heating oil tanks.

We are aware that there are areas of Japanese Knotweed located on the land, and a management plan to treat the weed has commenced in 2021 (Details available from the Agent).
