The beautiful Valleys farmhouse that's up for sale for the first time in 40 years

A gorgeous Valleys farmhouse full of character and life is on the market for the first time in four decades. Dyllas Farm, in Aberdare, is a unique detached farmhouse set in mature landscape grounds of around two acres.

It's been nearly 40 years since the spacious property has been on the market, and it is beautifully presented throughout. It's been designed to the current owners' liking, but experts say additional bedrooms could be created by aspiring buyers if they so wish.

The property is situated in a convenient location with excellent commuting options, yet is also located in a semi-rural position that offers many stunning views. House hunters can see how truly stunning the property is on arrival, as guests are greeted with an inviting entrance porch that comes complete with ceramic tile flooring.

There is also an ornate hardwood door into an inner hallway, where you'll find oak panelling on both the walls and ceiling. The property is full of charm and character.

Describing the property on the Rightmove website estate agents, Herbert R Thomas, Cowbridge, said: "The lounge is a beautifully presented, character-filled room with two large picture windows to front enjoying views of the garden. The room has a low ceiling height with visible timbers. An electric feature fire is set on a light marble hearth with matching inset, with an ornate surround and mantle. The fireplace is flanked by built-in storage and fitted display shelving in recesses."

The property also boasts an impressive kitchen/breakfast room area with glazed French doors to provide extra light. It has full oak panelling to the walls, as well as a bespoke oak kitchen, with complementing dark marble work surfaces. There is also plenty of space and plumbing for a range cooker with extractor hood over. Integrated appliances include a washing machine, dishwasher, baseline fridge and separate freezer.

If that isn't enough to impress you there is also a doorway and steps from the kitchen that lead up to the sitting room. This spacious reception room has a rear plus window and French doors flanked by glass panels, and leads into the garden room. Describing the garden room, the estate agent continues: "With windows and French doors enjoying far-reaching views to front and side has a part vaulted tongue and groove ceiling. Beyond the sitting room is a large shower room.

"The sitting room, garden room and bathroom previously formed a self-contained annex for an elderly relative. Stairs from the kitchen/breakfast room lead to the first floor landing giving access to the bedroom accommodation, plus a large built-in storage cupboard."

There are two very spacious, and beautifully-decorated bedrooms, and one enjoys particularly far-reaching views. It also has a range of bespoke fitted oak fronted wardrobe cupboards, offering ample hanging space.

Bedroom one comes complete with an en-suite bathroom. The white four piece suite includes a Jacuzzi panel bath, a water closet, a bidet and wash hand basin. Bedroom two is also said to be quite a large double-bedroom, with two windows to the front. It has full oak wood panelling on the walls, and comes complete with built-in storage cupboard space.
