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.

Three double bedrooms and family bathroom to the first floor; wonderful basement area with living space, home office / possible fourth bedroom and luxurious contemporary shower room / WC.
Long garage and driveway parking, forecourt garden to the front and courtyard garden to the rear.
Situation - Llanblethian has long been regarded as one of the Vale of Glamorgan's foremost residential areas offering as it does a very pretty Village-style setting with a combination of individual old and new houses and narrow winding Streets.
The Market Town of Cowbridge is within walking distance and offers an excellent range of local facilities including a wide variety of shops - both national and local - library, health centre, quality restaurants and public houses, leisure facilities and well regarded schools at all levels.
About The Property - Tucked away off Factory Road to the heart of historic Llanblethian, 2 The Malthouse is a modern property with very deceptively spacious accommodation over three storeys and a wealth of character.

From the front, south facing forecourt garden, steps lead up to a spacious entrance hallway from which bespoke, oak staircases lead up the to first floor and down to the basement.
Travertine tiles extend from the hallway throughout this ground floor and also feature in the basement.
Running the width of the rear of the property is an open plan living and dining room, a generous space with seating space and ample room remaining for a family sized dining table.
Bifold doors, from the living area, opens to a decked seating area from which steps lead down to a lower courtyard garden. The dining room links to the kitchen via a broad, square archway.
It is fitted with a most comprehensive range of wooden units with granite worktops and matching central island / breakfast bar.
Appliances to remain include a "Belling" range cooker and an American-style fridge-freezer; there is plumbing / space for a dishwasher.
To the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all accessed from a central landing.
All bedrooms include their own neatly fitted wardrobes / store cupboards; two have exposed wooden floorboards. The bathroom features a traditionally-styled white three piece suite.
To the basement there is a superb suite of rooms with considerable potential to be utilised for many and varied uses.
Steps lead from the hallway to a lower ground floor lobby with concealed washing machine plumbing beneath the stairs. A luxurious shower room / wc has been added with walk-in shower.
The largest extra space runs the width of the property and includes a feature fireplace with exposed stone walling surrounding it; to the opposite end is a great bank of storage cupboards running the depth of the room and including shelves and wine racking.
