Plaisted House is a substantial Grade II listed semi-detached home dating to 1650, offering over 2,000 sq ft of characterful accommodation set within approximately 0.4 acres of mature gardens. The property retains many original features — exposed beams, flagstone floors, inglenook fireplaces and sash windows — alongside sympathetic modern interventions including a double-storey extension, updated kitchen with Aga, utility and home office.
The layout provides flexible family living: a principal reception sequence with a dining room and sunroom, four bedrooms including a principal suite with dressing room, and both a traditional bathroom plus a contemporary shower room. Outside, south-facing lawns, specimen trees, a small brook, elevated terrace and extensive off-street parking create a peaceful, private setting with an adjoining parcel used for fruit trees and free-range chickens.
Important practical points are clear: the Grade II listing will impose restrictions and may complicate alterations or require listed-building consent. Some rooms are relatively small with low ceilings in places, and council tax is described as expensive. The surrounding area is classified as having rural traits within established farming communities, and the local area indicators note significant deprivation despite low crime and good broadband speeds.
This house will suit buyers seeking historic character combined with usable modern living — families or purchasers wanting a rural village base within easy reach of Llantwit Major and the Heritage Coastline. Expect ongoing maintenance typical of an historic stone property and planning considerations because of the listed status.
