<p>Extensively and meticulously refurbished by the current owners in recent years, Dowlais Cottage Farm now presents as a luxurious and highly specified family home, where considered design and craftsmanship are evident throughout. Throughout the house, new plumbing, radiators, double glazing, flooring and carpets have been installed, alongside refined decorative finishes including Farrow & Ball paintwork, Sanderson blinds and bespoke joinery.<br/></p><p>Approached via electric gates, the property reveals itself with quiet confidence. A resin driveway with a large double garage with electric doors and EV charging provides generous parking for multiple vehicles. <br/></p><p>A footpath leads to a striking oak-framed porch with fitted window seats—an inviting prelude to the interiors beyond. The reception hall is expansive and beautifully appointed with limestone flooring, underfloor heating, a feature stone fireplace, intricate cornicing and a decorative ceiling rose, setting a tone of understated elegance.<br/></p><p>At the heart of the home lies a magnificent, 600 square foot, designer kitchen dining room, providing exceptional scale and perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Natural limestone flooring runs throughout, complemented by underfloor heating. A substantial central island with breakfast bar, quartz worktops and a sociable four-ring AEG induction hob with downward extraction provides the centrepiece to the room with ample surrounding quartz worktops and timber wall and base units with premium handles offering abundant storage.<br/></p><p>All the appliances are integrated and include twin AEG ovens, a full-height fridge, twin freezers, and a Belfast sink with boiling water tap and dual filtration.

Engineered oak flooring and detailed cornicing add warmth and texture, while a wide bay with shuttered windows and sliding doors opens directly onto the garden. Beyond, a triple-aspect garden room offers a more relaxed retreat, with tiled flooring, vaulted ceilings, working shutters and French doors to the outside—ideal as a snug, playroom or study.

A versatile study or fifth bedroom completes the ground floor accommodation.<br/></p><p>Upstairs, four well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged around a bright landing, three enjoying westerly aspects with far-reaching rural views. The family bathroom is particularly striking, finished with premium porcelain tiling, a freestanding bath, double walk-in rain shower and contemporary wall-mounted fittings. <br/></p><p>Bedrooms two and three benefit from stylish en suite shower rooms, while the principal suite is particularly exceptional. A substantial bedroom leads into a vaulted, bespoke Sharps dressing room, illuminated by six Velux windows and a large picture window capturing panoramic views across the surrounding farmland towards the Bristol Channel and Wales beyond. A second walk-in Sharps dressing room provides further storage and the dual aspect, en suite bathroom is luxuriously appointed with bespoke porcelain tiling, a freestanding roll-top bath and double Crittall-style walk-in shower.<br/></p><p>The landscaped gardens are a particular feature and encompass level lawns framed by pleached borders and specimen tree planting, including olives and palms, create a sense of structure and privacy.
