Summary - OLD SCHOOL HOUSE MARCROSS LLANTWIT MAJOR CF61 1ZD
4 bed 3 bath House
Distinctive former schoolhouse with sweeping country and coastal views on a huge private plot.
360-degree panoramic countryside and coastal views from nearly every room
Set on a vast, elevated plot with truly unrivalled 360-degree views, The Old School House is a characterful former stone school thoughtfully extended and finished to a high standard. The home combines period features — vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, Gothic-style mullion windows and a grand oak staircase — with bespoke contemporary fittings such as a handmade oak kitchen with granite worktops and an Aga. Living spaces are generous and sociable, centred on a dramatic lounge with mezzanine gallery and large windows framing countryside and sea vistas.
Accommodation is versatile for modern family life: four well-proportioned bedrooms (three en suite), a master with private deck, and a fitted oak study that doubles as a fourth bedroom. Practical outbuildings and parking are strong assets — electric gates, wide gravel driveway and a stone-built double garage with utility room — plus multiple patios and terraces for outdoor entertaining.
Buyers should note a few practical matters: heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators, drainage is via a septic tank, broadband speeds are very slow, and glazing predates 2002. The property lies in an agricultural, ageing rural neighbourhood and the wider area records higher deprivation indicators — factors worth considering for long-term running costs and connectivity.
Overall this is a rare, high-spec rural home for buyers prioritising privacy, scale and spectacular views. It suits families or buyers seeking a distinctive country residence who accept the trade-offs of rural utilities and the maintenance responsibilities of a large, historic property.
