BRIEF DESCRIPTION ** Occupying a sizeable, elevated plot to the corner of this cul-de-sac, 8 Maes Cefn Mabley is an immaculate detached family home with four double bedrooms. Accommodation includes: lounge with bay window, study, dining room, kitchen-breakfast room, both these opening to the rear patio and garden. Cloakroom. To the first floor: master bedroom with dressing area and en-suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Ample driveway parking and detached double garage to the front of the property. Lawn area to front enjoying a westerly aspect and, to the rear, a broad sheltered paved seating area with lawn beyond.  

SITUATION The Historic Town of Llantrisant is some two and a half miles to the north of Junction 34 of the M4 Motorway - thus providing access to Cardiff, major road networks and other Commercial Centres in the region. The Town of Llantrisant includes a Leisure Centre with an in-door swimming pool and there is a wide range of shopping facilities in the area. There are some well regarded "dining" and leisure facilities in the locality. Golf Clubs include The Vale of Glamorgan, Llantrisant and Creigiau. The prestigious Vale of Glamorgan Country Club offers tennis, squash, yoga, a gymnasium, swimming pool, 2 golf driving ranges and courses. The Historic Miskin Manor also includes a health club and swimming pool.

The City of Cardiff is within 12 miles and includes comprehensive retail and commercial facilities, Theatres and Concert Halls, leisure and sporting facilities. Pontyclun train station (2.5 miles away) is a main-line rail link to London (Paddington) in around two hours. Cardiff (Wales) Airport is some 12 miles and offers national and international flights with a daily service to London  

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY From a covered entrance porch, a broad central hallway has doors leading to the lounge, study and kitchen whilst a staircase leads to first floor bedrooms. One further door opens to ground floor cloakroom. The lounge is positioned to the front of the property and has a broad, bay window looking over the front garden and cul de sac onto Llantrisant Common and hillsides to the distance. The large kitchen breakfast room and the adjacent dining room are positioned to the rear of the property, both of them having doors opening to the patio seating area. The kitchen itself is of two distinct sections, the kitchen area including a good range of storage units and integrated appliances with an adjacent dining area. A door connects from this to the dining room which, in turn, has a further door leading to the lounge.

At first floor level are the four double bedrooms. The master bedroom is a good double room with dressing area linking in to an en-suite bathroom. The second principal bedroom, also positioned to the front of the property, enjoys the same sweeping views over the surrounding common and countryside. The two additional double rooms both overlook the rear garden, so too the bathroom.  

GARDENS & GROUNDS 8 Maes Cefn Mabley occupies an elevated plot to the corner of this quiet cul-de-sac. A drop-down curb leads to a generous off-road parking space fronting the detached double garage. Steps lead from here through the lawned front garden to the principal entrance doorway. The garden to the front of the property, enjoying a westerly aspect, is mainly laid to lawn and extends to the rear of the garage. A gated entrance to one side runs via a paved path leading to the rear garden. The rear garden is a sheltered, south facing space, there being a broad, deep seating area overlooked by the kitchen and accessed from both kitchen and dining room. Further steps lead from here to a raised section of lawned garden continuing to the boundary fence.

The detached double garage is accessed via twin up and over doors and is approx. 5.5m x 5.6m, has electric lighting and power connected. The property borders public playing fields and, to the opposite side, Llantrisant Rugby Club. 

TENURE & SERVICES Freehold. All mains services connect to the property. Metered water supply. Gas fired central heating boiler.

  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
