This spacious four-double-bedroom semi-detached home sits on the edge of St Athan village, backing onto open countryside. The house benefits from owned solar panels, a detached garage, driveway parking and generous rear views — a strong proposition for a family wanting rural access with local amenities within walking distance.
The interior follows a traditional 1960s/1970s layout with two reception rooms, a kitchen, cloakroom/WC and a wet room upstairs. The property is habitable but will reward updating: cosmetic refreshes, kitchen and bathroom improvements and insulation works would significantly increase comfort and value. There is scope to extend to the rear and add an en-suite on the first floor, subject to planning consent.
Important restrictions apply: the property carries an agricultural occupancy condition (AOC) limiting who can lawfully occupy it, and sale conditions include a potential future payment to vendors if the AOC is removed within ten years. EPC rating D (57) and presumed uninsulated solid walls mean energy upgrades are advisable. Council tax is above average for the area.
For buyers who can meet the AOC and want a roomy home in a peaceful, coastal-proximate location, this house offers immediate liveability with clear potential to modernise and extend. Viewings are recommended for those who understand the agricultural tie and appreciate countryside living with good broadband and local services nearby.
