About The Property - Dating back over 400 years, with mapping records dating to 1570, this exceptional farmhouse offers a rare combination of historic character, beautifully presented accommodation and an outstanding rural setting. Set within approximately 35 acres of gardens and surrounding land, the property has been finished and maintained to an exemplary standard throughout, while retaining a wealth of period features. The extensive accommodation includes a welcoming family lounge, an impressive dining room featuring immense exposed ceiling beams and a deep inglenook fireplace, together with a country kitchen/breakfast room, study and striking garden room rising to the apex of the roof. A utility room and ground-floor shower room complete the principal living accommodation. The first floor provides an impressive principal bedroom - a former hayloft retaining original, exposed beams - with dressing room and en suite bathroom, alongside three further generous double bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en suite facilities.

Gardens, Grounds And Land - Approached from Llanrisant Road, a private farm lane leads to a gated entrance and the tarmacadam driveway, which winds its way to Maendy Farm. The driveway culminates in an extensive gravelled parking and turning area, complemented by a stone-edged planted bed. Immediately to the rear of the farmhouse is a private, low-maintenance garden, conveniently accessed from both the kitchen/breakfast room and garden room. The garden incorporates attractive flagstone-paved and timber-decked seating areas, with steps leading to a sunken hot tub, set within a timber-decked surround — an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. The driveway continues beyond Maendy Farm to a further screened yard, providing access to the garage and stable complex. The substantial five-bay block comprises four 12' x 12' bays, together with a further 12' x 9' bay, tack room, feed store and WC, offering excellent versatility for equestrian, storage and ancillary uses. The separate detached garage is approached via twin electrically operated up-and-over doors and provides secure, covered garaging for up to four vehicles. An external stone staircase leads to a useful upper-level storage area/home office, providing valuable additional space.
The property is further enhanced by extensive areas of pasture and grazing land, divided into a number of individual field enclosures and extending to approximately 35 acres in total. The combination of gardens, grounds, equestrian facilities and surrounding land creates an exceptional rural setting with considerable scope for a variety of country pursuits. Of particular note is a detached and currently derelict Welsh Long House, which presents an exciting opportunity for sympathetic restoration or further development, subject to the necessary planning consents and permissions.
