Glan-y-Mor is a characterful two-bedroom cottage tucked beside Llantwit Major’s Duck Pond, offering a rare mix of period charm and useful living space. The house keeps original stone walls, exposed beams and two cosy sitting rooms, while a later kitchen extension adds a contemporary galley kitchen and pantry — good day-to-day functionality in a seaside village setting.
This property suits a downsizer or small family who value location and character. The plot includes enclosed, level lawns to front and rear and easy walking access to the town centre, beach and rail links. Mains gas central heating is installed and double glazing has been added since 2002, which helps comfort and running costs.
There are practical matters to note: the EPC is currently rated E, the walls are assumed uninsulated (stone construction), and the heating uses a back boiler in one sitting room — all of which point to potential improvement work and running-cost considerations. Internally the layout was altered from three bedrooms to two double bedrooms, so buyers wanting three bedrooms again would need to reconfigure the first floor.
On balance, Glan-y-Mor offers a sizeable, character-filled cottage in a highly desirable West End location. It presents immediate liveability with scope for targeted upgrades that will both improve comfort and add value.
