4 bedroom detached house for sale

Nestled in the heart of Aberdare, The Old Clock Tower is a truly unique property that seamlessly blends historical significance with modern living. Once the focal point of the old boys' grammar school, this iconic clock tower has been meticulously transformed into a charming three-bedroom home, filled with character and history. Built in the late 19th century, the clock tower has long stood as a landmark in Aberdare, serving as a reminder of the town's rich heritage.

The current owners have lovingly renovated the property, preserving its original features while adding a stunning extension that enhances its living space. This extension, now serving as a music room and sitting room, is a masterpiece of design.

It boasts a large atrium skylight that floods the room with natural light, and expansive windows that wrap around the space, offering panoramic views of the surrounding hills and countryside. This bright and peaceful room is perfect for those who work from home or simply wish to enjoy the beauty of the landscape throughout the day.

The main house retains much of its original charm, starting with the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room. Once a classroom in the old boys' grammar school, this room is characterised by its high ceilings, which create a grand sense of space. A striking feature is the large mural of a world map that adorns the back wall, a nod to the room's educational past. Steps lead up to the main sitting area, where solid wooden bookcases and a cosy log burner create a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for unwinding in the evenings.

One of the home's standout features is the beautiful wrought iron spiral staircase that ascends to the first floor, adding a touch of elegance and a real wow' factor. The first floor offers split-level accommodation, including three generous bedrooms, each with original fireplaces that add to the home's character.

The principal bedroom comes complete with an en suite shower room, and there is also a well-appointed family bathroom. A second staircase leads to the third floor, where a snug awaits. This cosy room, with its large Velux window, opens up to the roof space and offers spectacular views across Aberdare Park and the surrounding hills, as well as a prime view of the clock tower itself.
