An attractive blend of character features such as boarded floors, original staircase, working fireplace etc with modern standards of appointment including mains gas fired central heating and double glazing. The location of the cottage is a delightfully rural one on a small lane down winding down to the heritage coastline less than a mile away and surrounded by some delightful countryside. Monknash is a tiny hamlet centred around the quaint village pub, The Plough and Harrow. Within walking distance is the slightly larger village of Broughton with the local facilities of the village of Wick a short way further on.
The market town of Cowbridge is within easy driving distance and provides and extensive range of facilities including a wide range of shops both national and local, library, health centre, sporting and recreational facilities etc. Major centres within comfortable commuting distance include the capital city of Cardiff, Bridgend, Swansea etc. A pretty character Cottage well worthy of inspection.
