Property description

Glamorgan Cleave is believed to be approximately 200 years old and was purchased in 1975 by the present owner. Although renovated internally, the cottage still retains the footprint of the original two cottages. There are period features throughout such as original beams throughout the ground floor, slate floor and two large open fireplaces, one with a woodburner and both with cloam ovens. A Heritage Range in the kitchen compliments the heating, hot water and cooking. The owners have raised their family at the cottage, the children attending local schools and are reluctant to leave such a lovely place after nearly 40 happy years to downsize.
The cottage is situated in its own 2.7 acres of deciduous woodland, the owner having planted hardwod trees in the 1980s to replace wood taken for the fires. The cottage has a large terrace with beautiful south west views across the valley.
