SUMMARY
The Cot offers an unique opportunity to acquire a circa 55 acre mini country estate situated on the north western fringes of the Vale of Glamorgan


DESCRIPTION
FIRST TIME TO MARKET
The Cot offers an unique opportunity to acquire a circa 55 acre mini country estate situated on the north western fringes of the Vale of Glamorgan. Set in quiet wooded countryside within easy reach of south Wales’s major conurbations, the M4 at junction 34 is within 5 miles providing easy access east and west and onto the national motorway network. The capital city of Cardiff is approximately 15 miles south, the ancient market town of Cowbridge is about 5 miles and Pontyclun is within walking distance. There is a park and ride train service in Pontyclun with regular services into the capital city and a frequent bus service to Cowbridge, Llantwit Major and Talbot Green. There are fast and frequent train services from Cardiff to London Paddington in under two hours. Cardiff Airport is approximately 15 miles south with frequent flights to the Amsterdam international hub and many holiday charter flights.

History
The Cot’s origins date back to Victorian times, built for the game keeper to Talygarn Manor, which is the creation of the remarkable industrialist and antiquary Colonel George Thomas Clark. He acquired the estate in 1865 and set about building an estate of some 924 acres with the intention of founding a landed dynasty. He developed the Manor to a level of grandeur on astonishing scale. The gardens were also landscaped on a grand scale including an eight acre lake with a three-arched bridge. The woodland contains some very fine specimen trees, some of them of considerable rarity.

The Property
The Cot is approached from a private drive through Talygarn Manor into a private lane leading up to the property and two other dwellings. There is private parking for several cars and a path with shallow steps leading to the house and its gardens. There is a considerable amount of privacy with a footpath only along the track. The gardens have been created by the current owners who have lived at the property for about thirty five years. The landscaped gardens are in keeping with the rural environment. There are gently sloping lawns with mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders, a large kitchen garden, an orchard, a substantial fruit cage, greenhouse and chicken enclosure.

The climbing rose clad south facing principal elevation has a central front entrance approached by a short flight of semi-circular steps up to a timber front door with glazed leaded lights, canopy and opening into:

The Woodland Grounds
The property is situated in its own unique secluded woodland environment, a conservation area. There are private walking/riding tracks through well managed award winning woodland assisted by the Welsh Government ‘Glastir’ sustainable land management scheme. An eight acre lake has two islands, balustrade bridge and diverse wildlife including otters, ducks and swans.
In all the woodland extends to about 34 acres and there is a broad path leading through the woods and around the lake. The pump house at the far end has the original Victorian 7’ cast iron waterwheel which is in working order and was used to pump water up to the Manor. Today there is potential for a hydro power plant. Part of the woodland known as Cot Wood has an Avenue known as Chestnut Avenue. Coed Talygarn adjacent is within the boundary of the Vale of Glamorgan. There are log stores in the woodland and a dedicated section for larger storage from which a firewood business is run.

Within the grounds is Adam’s Well, a Grade II listed stone structure, adjacent to the 100 steps which lead up to formal gardens of Talygarn Manor. There are two large stone tablets that stand either side of the well and are inscribed with an “Ode to Adam’s Ale” and an “Address to the Nymph of The Rock”.

A purpose-built equestrian yard has 4 stables, tack room and hay barn, a 20m x 40m all weather mange and an adjacent machinery store. The roof to the stables has a 4kw solar panel system producing an income of about £1,400 per annum tax free.

There are three grazing paddocks, all with mains drinking water supplies and field shelters. Field one is about four acres, field two and three are about 7.98 acres. Adjacent to field one is a purpose built agricultural building, with potential for additional stabling. Fields two & three have Post and Rail fencing.

The Cot is situated in a tranquil woodland environment. There are, however, three access points: through Talgarn Manor, Oak Park and from the A4222 Cowbridge Road.
