Find the attractive Edwardian house of The Vines nestled amidst the endearing village of Southerndown, offering a countryside position, which adjoins the Heritage Coastline with Dunraven Bay resting just moments away.
This handsome property rests in one of the most sought-after locations within the Vale of Glamorgan and its interior enjoys a seamless blend of character and contemporary, offering an exceptional self-catering experience for up to 12 people.
Upon entering into the property, step into the entrance hallway before slipping through the door on the right to find the first sitting room, a high ceilinged space looking to the front elevation with period woodblock flooring, large sash windows and a woodburning stove set within a traditional hearth; the focal point of this room.
Return to the hallway and take the second door to find another sitting room, a space where you can unwind with a good book or younger guests of the group can escape to, to catch up on the latest box set.
Next is the kitchen/diner, a perfectly proportioned room featuring a large dining table, all the quality modern appliances one would expect and a sleek breakfast bar, where you can linger over a wine as dinner simmers on the hob.
From here, slip through the door to discover the utility, a space which works in synergy with the kitchen, housing a microwave, a fridge, laundry equipment and plenty of space to keep the kitchen clutter free for the chef of the group at the end of the first course!
Take the grand staircase as the evening draws to a close, to find five elegantly presented bedrooms, the master suite notable for its sumptuous king-size bed and modern en-suite.

To the exterior of the Edwardian home is an off-road parking space, as well as a gated entrance, which grants access to the garden, enjoying a southerly aspect, a lawn area and a patio area with an outdoor dining area.
