4 bedroom detached house for sale

Coed Parc was originally developed in 1899 by Samuel Llewellyn as a large two-story, Art Nouveau, villa-style house. Up until 1939, the area was the principal residence of a succession of wealthy Bridgend families. During the Second World War, the site became a local military headquarters.
In 1967, the site was purchased by Glamorgan County Council as the headquarters for the County Library Service until it was sold in 2011. The site is now under phased development for executive residential homes.
The main house is Grade II listed and comprises a two-story masonry structure with a painted render finish and a pitched slate roof. External doors and windows are painted timber, single-glazed units.
The house currently consists of a ground floor containing a large entrance hall with teak panelling and parquet flooring, a large dining room, a drawing room with a bay window, a morning room, and a study. The main staircase has been described as a "handsome" staircase in teak, with panelling and stained-glass windows. The first floor originally contained six bedrooms. Alongside these were toilets, a linen closet, a housemaid's pantry, and a staircase leading to the attic.
Two bays project on either side of the south-facing main door, with ground-floor bay windows and a wooden veranda between the bay windows, over the front door. A mosaic-paved porch to the front door lies between the two bay windows.
In front of the house, the area is tarmacked and bounded by a low brick wall. Both the driveway and footpath are flanked on both sides by mature trees and bushes, with dense trees and bushes infilling the areas between these routes and the property boundary. Taller trees tend to line the periphery. The entrance to the driveway from Park Street is formed by a simple curving low mortared stone wall and a modern metal traffic barrier gate.
The house and grounds have been modified during its life as a high-status residence in the first half of the 20th century, although sales indicate that any modifications are likely to have been relatively minor. There is likely to have been renovation work to the interior of the house (the extent of which is unknown) and works in the grounds.
The site is accessed from Park Street and is bounded to the north, east, and west by existing dwellings on West Road, Coed Parc Court, Park Street, and Walters Road, respectively.
The current development proposal comprises plans for the renovation and conversion of the main house into two residential units, with a rebuilding/extension on its western side. Plans for the potential glass house extension are available to view online.
In addition, nine new residential units are largely to be established to the rear of the house, with terraced properties to the east and a detached unit to the southwest.
The house is Grade II listed, and Listed Building Consent would be required for any works that affect the building. Any development within the site boundary is likely to impact the setting of the listed building.
