An excellent opportunity to acquire a residential and private equestrian property in a very accessible location just outside of the village of Cefn Cribwr and within very easy access of the M4 motorway.
The property has been extensively improved by the vendors, the house itself has much character with a ground floor bedroom and shower room ideal for guests, etc., and a very nice open plan galleried living room. There is also a contemporary kitchen and a very useful utility room to the ground floor with two further first and a bathroom on the first floor.
The equestrian facilities, in the agents opinion, are excellent with purpose built loose boxes and corral areas, etc, a recently refurbished manege with Martin Collins surface as well as level / very gently sloping paddocks and superb far reaching views.
The village of Cefn Cribwr has a Post Office / shop, public house, local club, gym and MOT centre as well as schooling (at the time of writing). Further, more extensive facilities are offered by nearby Bridgend, Cardiff and Swansea all of which are readily accessible via the M4 (junction 36) nearby.
The vendors have utilised the property for residential and private equestrian use for their show jumping horses. We understand, within road hacking distance, there is access to nearby Bedford Park which offers lovely outriding. The property is within short boxing distance of beach riding at Dunraven Bay, Newton Beach Margham Park.
