We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Welcome to Glendale Farm – a charming piece of local history and one of the very few homes in South Wales boasting a full-sized snooker room.
Originally a traditional farmhouse, this exceptional residence has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully extended over the years.
It now offers just under 3,000 square feet of flexible family living space, set on a generous plot of over a quarter of an acre – the kind of property that rarely comes to market.
Access to the property is versatile, with two pedestrian gates and large wooden vehicular gates leading onto a sweeping driveway that continues around to the rear of the house, ending at a substantial garage.
With ample parking, it’s ideal for families with multiple cars. Inside, the ground floor extends generously from the front of the plot.
At its heart is a beautifully fitted kitchen, featuring Sile Stone worktops and a thoughtfully designed central island.
An open archway leads into a bright and spacious dining room, while a separate door opens into a large conservatory, currently used as a well-equipped utility area – practical enough to serve as a second kitchen if required.
Moving through the internal hallway, you’ll pass a large bathroom and a versatile study (currently used as a ground-floor bedroom) before arriving in the cosy lounge.
This inviting space features dual-aspect windows, ample room for a baby grand piano, and a discreet door that opens into the showpiece of the home – the snooker room.
This impressive space spans nearly 500 square feet, comfortably accommodating a full-sized snooker table with room to play proper shots from every angle.
It also offers exciting potential as a statement reception room or even a self-contained annexe, thanks to its own external entrance and staircase.
Upstairs, it connects to a spacious bedroom suite complete with its own four-piece bathroom and generous storage.
The main first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes.
The principal bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room, while the third bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room with extensive mirrored slide-robes.
A smart family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level. Externally, the property offers extensive and well-kept grounds.
A large paved patio provides an ideal space for entertaining and enjoying the warmer months, while the manicured lawn beyond is perfect for children's play – even large enough for a family football pitch.
Glendale Farm is privately situated in a quiet, sought-after location, yet remains conveniently close to excellent transport links, local schools, and a wide range of shopping and leisure amenities.
