DESCRIPTION
A 2 bedroom cottage of much character situated in a quiet rural hamlet close to Cardiff. The Brew House, originally a single storey dwelling with an inglenook fireplace and thatched roof, was converted to a two storey dwelling in the 1920s. The Old Brew House is approached from the quiet country lane into the hamlet.
Situation
The Old Brew House is situated in the delightful rural parish of St Brides-super-Ely. The focal point of the hamlet is the church dedicated to St Mary. Situated on the doorstep of the Vale of Glamorgan, the hamlet offers a tranquil and pretty rural environment with excellent access to the capital city and M4 motorway. St Brides-super-Ely is one of the closest Vale hamlets to Cardiff. There is a local bus service from the village into Cardiff.
Cardiff is approximately six miles away with all the retail, leisure and domestic facilities of an important capital city. The BR main line provides fast and frequent services to London in under two hours. Cardiff airport is within approximately 10 miles and Bristol about 52 miles.
Local facilities at Culverhouse Cross, approximately three miles away, are excellent with an extensive and diverse range of retail outlets.
The Vale of Glamorgan offers a great choice of leisure and country pursuits. The historic market town of Cowbridge offers quality shops, a public library, a health centre, a leisure centre and diverse sporting clubs in an attractive setting. The Glamorgan Heritage Coast with its dramatic plunging cliffs, tiny secluded coves and breath taking views is within a short drive. There are country walks on the doorstep.
