Magnificent Georgian house standing in about 1.75 acres of sizeable mature grounds enjoying wide ranging southerly views. Comprehensively and stylishly restored and modernised by the present owners.

Eight bedrooms and six reception rooms including wing part used as elegant offices. All mains services including gas fired central heating. Walking distance excellent local facilities and only a few minutes drive from the M4. Freehold. Immediately available.

DIRECTIONS: From the M4 Junction 34 head north on the A4119 and at the fourth set of traffic lights turn right onto the B4595 signposted Llantrisant. At the brow of the hill turn very sharp left up the hill towards the old town. Before the next right hand bend turn back on yourself right into the driveway which leads down to Llantrisant House. There is not a 'For Sale' board outside.

INTRODUCTION: The main Georgian part of Llantrisant House has been dated to about 1764 although during recent renovation works there were some indications that parts of the house might be even earlier. There are also traces of Regency influence and some Victorian additions. The property is listed Grade II and is an impressive example of the architecture of the Georgian period. The present owners bought the house about five years ago when it was in need of substantial repair and refurbishment and have undertaken an extremely comprehensive programme to bring the property back to its former glory. Fortunately many of the character features remain and these have been skilfully blended with modern standards of appointment and finish. Much more has been done than just the aesthetics and much work has been done to the basic structure. The owners have substantial records with guarantees etc of the work that has been carried out. At the time the restoration work was carried out a decision was made to use the north wing as offices and this was done with the benefit of full planning permission. Externally there is no difference but internally the north wing is now entirely self-contained in terms of central heating, electricity, etc and provides a delightful work environment. Cleverly the conversion has been carried out in such a way that the office accommodation could easily be re-incorporated into the residential side without the need for major work. Besides its existing office use and conversion back to part of the main house the north wing does offer a range of other potential options subject to any necessary consents being obtained. In more recent times the first floor of the north wing has been converted to a most attractive suite of living room, two double bedrooms and bathroom and making use of the ground floor kitchen whilst retaining the office use on the ground floor. Llantrisant House stands in an elevated position on the hill up to Llantrisant old town and enjoys wide ranging southerly views from its delightful mature garden. Llantrisant and nearby Talbot Green offer a wide range of excellent local facilities ranging from the individual shops of the old town through to modern supermarkets on the outskirts. Other facilities within easy reach include leisure centre, Llantrisant Golf Club, etc. Junction 34 of the M4 motorway is only a few minutes drive away and brings major centres including the capital city of Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bridgend, Barry, etc all within easy commuting distance. There is easy access to main line railway stations and to Cardiff Wales Airport.
