SUMMARY A unique property set within its own 4 acre surrounding plot being the former kitchen-garden to Wenvoe Castle located to the east of the Vale of Glamorgan. The principal home is a Scandinavian-inspired 3 bedroom bungalow with extensive living spaces; and a separate, 2 bedroom annexe providing significant, extra accommodation. Set within a sheltered plot of approaching 4 acres in total, it includes ample driveway parking, a garage/workshop and generous grounds including a thoughtfully planted private ornamental garden, meadows and a stand of old woods.  

SITUATION The Village of Wenvoe includes a Church, primary school, village post office and store, two public houses with dining facilities and a golf club. Wenvoe is within approximately 2 miles from Culverhouse Cross where an excellent road network radiates from a roundabout on the western fringe of the City of Cardiff and provides access to Junction 33 of the M4 Motorway for commuting further afield. Culverhouse Cross includes a range of "national outlets" including Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Homebase and B & Q. There is a main intercity train service available at Cardiff with London/Paddington, reached in around two hours. 

ABOUT THE PROPERTY * The Walled Garden is a unique, distinctively Scandinavian-inspired property set within its own plot of about 4 acres in total.
* It is to be sold together with a stylish, contemporary 2 bedroom separate annexe.
* The property itself was originally built towards the end of the 1970s within the kitchen-garden for the neighbouring Wenvoe Castle.
* It has been modernised and improved by the current architect-owner and offers excellent family accommodation within a fabulously private, enclosed, location.
* The living rooms and bedrooms throughout are wonderfully light-filled, benefiting from tall floor-to-ceiling glazed windows and doors.
* A central living room is open to the pitch of the ceiling has, as a focal feature, a 'Stovax' contemporary wood burning stove; a bank of floor to ceiling glazed windows and doors look over, and open onto, a south facing paved patio with gardens beyond.
* A study is adjoining the living room while a snug with its own wood burner is beyond the lounge and links through to a second bedroom where planning has been obtained for a fourth bedroom / en suite extension
* The contemporary kitchen includes an especially good range of units with appliances, where fitted, to remain including hob, double oven, full integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher.
* An adjoining utility room offers additional storage with space for a washing machine, dryer and an American-style fridge/freezer.
* The largest, principal bedroom is to the northern end of the property and is positioned to enjoy both an easterly, morning aspect and the westerly afternoon/evening sunshine.
* It is a generous double room with its own stylish en suite shower room with especially broad walk-in shower. It also features a bank of accent-lit wardrobes.
* The second bedroom, to the eastern wing of the property, has its own en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle.
* A third double bedroom has its own shower cubicle and basin within.
* All these bedrooms look out over, and have doors opening to, the very private and sheltered garden to the north-eastern corner of the property.  

GARDENS AND GROUNDS * The Walled Garden is set within a deceptive plot of close to 4 acres in total, located next door to Wenvoe Castle Golf Club.
* Access from Port Road East is via lane owned by Wenvoe Castle Golf Club but over which the Walled Garden has a right of access and some shared maintenance responsibility.
* A private driveway leads into The Walled Garden - to a parking area fronting the annexe and, in turn, past a garage/workshop block to further parking for the main property itself.
* The garage block includes a garage space accessed via side-hinged doors; an adjacent former garage is now configured to provide a sizeable, multi-use workshop/storage with power and water connected.
* Its unique position within this plot affords it wonderful multiple aspects over the grounds, for the passage of the sun from its morning sunrise over the southern facing fronting and on to the western elevation, there being a number of distinctive and separate seating areas to catch the sun as it passes over.
* A principal paved patio area is immediately to the front of the living room, there being a further wonderfully neat and sheltered western-facing "al fresco" dining area accessible directly from the kitchen.
* To the southern side of the patio is an area of lawn leading up to a timber post and rail fence. A gated entrance through this leads on to an additional meadow garden featuring a circular, brick-lined sunken pond with a beautiful native oak tree overhanging it.
* Garden, in turn, extends onto a small stand of mature woodland included with the curtilage of property.
* The north eastern portion of the garden is accessible from, and over looked by, all 3 bedrooms and is perhaps the most sheltered, private tranche of the garden. It includes, to the far north eastern corner, a partly paved perennial garden surrounded by hedging and with a decked seating area - ideal for catching the afternoon and evening sun.
 

ANNEXE * The annexe is a more recent addition to the property created from 2 gardeners cottages yet in the same Scandinavian spirit
* It comprises two double bedrooms flanking a central, connecting living/dining space.
* This living space has a large seating area facing the garden and a timber deck with its own adjacent dining-kitchen area with fitted appliances.
* Of the two bedrooms, one has its own en suite bathroom; the other double bedroom has an adjacent shower room.
* There is, an addition, a utility room to the annexe with plumbing for washing machine and further storage
 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Freehold. Mains electric and water connect to the property. Bio-digester style sewerage treatment plant. Oil-fired central heating (for both the Walled Garden and the Annexe). Separate electric and telephone / wifi supplies. Council tax: Band H

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
