4 4 3

Set within approximately 10.68 acres of picturesque countryside, Tavern Bach is an exceptional detached four-bedroom family smallholding, occupying an enviable edge-of-village position in the highly sought-after Trehyngyll, just minutes from the renowned country town of Cowbridge. Offering a rare blend of privacy, space and accessibility, the property is ideal for those seeking a rural lifestyle without compromise.

Equestrian enthusiasts are particularly well catered for, with excellent on-site facilities and access to a well-established bridleway network, while direct access to public footpaths also makes this an attractive home for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The House

Approached via stone-pillared timber double gates, a sweeping gravel driveway provides ample parking and an immediate sense of arrival. An oak entrance door opens into a welcoming hallway with the main staircase rising to the first floor.

At the heart of the home is a spacious L-shaped family room, formerly the dining room, finished with oak flooring and an internal glazed screen. This room enjoys southerly views across the land, creating a strong connection between house and countryside.

Off the hallway is an elegant formal living room, filled with natural light from three elevations and centred around a wood-burning stove, offering a cosy retreat for winter evenings.

Double doors from the family room open into an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, designed for modern family living and entertaining. Two sets of triple-paned sliding doors lead onto a raised natural stone terrace with glazed balustrading, enjoying panoramic southerly views. Overhead rooflights further enhance the sense of light and space.

The contemporary kitchen features an extensive range of shaker-style units, a large central island with Spa worktops and inset 1½-bowl sink, and integrated appliances including a double oven, microwave, warming drawer, induction hob with vented extractor and dishwasher.

Adjoining is a utility room with matching cabinetry, stainless-steel sink, space for laundry appliances and a side access door. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

To the front of the house is a study with rural outlook, incorporating a secondary staircase leading to an annexed bedroom suite—ideal for guests, older children or home working with independence.

Bedroom Accommodation

The first-floor landing includes a linen cupboard and provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room with magnificent southerly views and a well-appointed en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are also comfortable doubles, enjoying open countryside views and served by a contemporary family bathroom.

Bedroom four, accessed via the secondary staircase, forms a self-contained guest or annexed suite with its own en-suite shower room.

Gardens & Land

To the rear lies a large south-facing garden, mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. A natural stone terrace with glass balustrading wraps around the rear of the house and extends to a further paved area, where a sauna and outdoor hot tub are available by separate negotiation.

Beyond the garden, a gravel track leads to a concrete yard and an impressive range of outbuildings extending to approximately 6,800 sq ft, including:

• Three stables and tack room


• Secure steel-frame barn


• Internal workshop with attached lean-to barn


• Two additional steel-framed open-fronted barns


• Tool store


• A high quality all weather menage is sited behind the barns

The surrounding land is divided into three predominantly level and gently sloping pasture fields, enclosed by mature hedging and ideal for equestrian or smallholding use. In total, the property extends to approximately 10.68 acres.

Location & Lifestyle

Despite its peaceful rural setting, Tavern Bach is just two miles from Cowbridge, renowned for its excellent schools, boutique shops, cafés, restaurants and sports facilities. Cardiff lies approximately 13 miles to the east, offering easy access to major transport links, cultural attractions and employment centres.
