Understood to have been built in 1981, it has been significantly remodelled and extended in recent years. It now provides impeccably presented, extensive accommodation and further scope to extend in accordance with planning already passed (including garage and another building). Fronting the property is a large gravelled off-road parking with an entrance porch leading into a ground floor hallway. The ground floor hallway enjoys a vista from the front door through the study in a northerly direction over the gardens and grounds. The hallway has doors opening into the lounge, to the study and to the kitchen/living/dining room; a staircase leads to the first floor. One further door opens into a ground floor cloakroom/WC. The family lounge runs the depth of the property with a broad window looking to the front elevation and French doors looking out over, and opening onto, the rear garden and grounds. This northerly aspect is fabulous, looking over gently sloping grounds onto farmland towards Dyffryn Gardens. It has, as a focal feature, a contemporary wood burning stove recessed within a chimney breast. A second reception room is currently used as a home study and with considerable potential to be utilised for many and varied uses. The superb kitchen/living/dining space of generous proportions with the distinct kitchen area itself including a good run of units with central island. Range cooker to remain if required; space and plumbing for dishwasher and additional appliances. An adjacent utility room provides further storage and space/plumbing for washing machine and dryer. The kitchen/living/dining room has ample space for a family size dining table to the end of the room next to broad sliding doors with gardens and grounds beyond.

The largest bedroom is positioned to the northern side of the property and enjoys far reaching views over the area. It has its own en suite shower room. A second, guest bedroom is also en suite. Of the three further bedrooms two of these are very good doubles. The fifth bedroom is a neat single room/study and could be incorporated into the main bedroom as a dressing area if ever required. These three bedrooms share use of a contemporary family bathroom.Gardens And Grounds - Northcliff Rise is set in a distinctive well defined plot of close to 3½ acres. From its lane frontage a pull-in leads to a timber 5-bar gate from which there is access onto the gravelled forecourt parking area for the property. This is an extensive space with plenty of room for a number of vehicles to park. The gardens and grounds surround the property and extend in a northerly direction sloping away from the house. This very generous area is understood to include areas of ancient woodland, more recently planted woodland, a small hazel grove and a structure (approx. max. 13.4m x 5m) is currently used for housing livestock and poultry. This 67sq.m structure would lend itself to additional amenity purposes.
