*I thought that views like this were reserved for paintings and postcards*
'Sea breezes' an appropriate name for such a fabulous location, with clear views out to sea...
It would be quite easy to sit on the front veranda area, and let life just 'Breeze' by! Personally speaking, I don’t think I've ever seen a better spot! Nestled in the hillside at Porthkerry, as you look out from the house you have the spectacular viaduct on your left, the beach and sea to your right, and Porthkerry Park directly in front complete with its pitch and putt golf course! Don’t let me be misunderstood! It’s not right on your doorstep either...
There is about an acre of private hillside woodland between you and the park (and yes before you ask, it comes with the house).
They do say Location! Location! Location! Trust me this is just that!!!
From Porthkerry village church, you enter the property via a long private driveway that serves only 3 properties! Through a five bar gate, on and down to your front door! The property is a part of a pair of semis that are believed to date back approximately 165 years and are believed to have originally been staff quarters for the other neighbouring property 'Porthkerry House', which has retained a right of way through the drive only as a second entrance!
The gardens and grounds are in total some 2 acres, and offer some interesting outbuildings, as well as the main house, theres a large garage with a superb studio or home office room above, as well as another open fronted garage/storage area with a Spanish finca style roof (itself big enough for probably 3 cars) ample further parking, a raised sloping lawn which must be in the region of 160ft by 60 ft.
So on to the house itself...

Viewing is a must, bring a chilled bottle and a couple of glasses, sit on the verandah, put the world to right s, a move here would be a life changing experience, you need to contemplate that change whilst soaking up the atmosphere! Ahhh!!!
Oh I should also mention its geographic location, about 15 miles from Cardiff, 5 miles from Barry, and a 2 minute drive to Rhoose village and the main terminal at Cardiff Wales Airport. (Train’s, Plane’s & Boats from your very own Garden!)
