Descriptions

It would be very easy to drive right past Angelton Hall, tucked away amongst a private woodland and accessed only via electric gates within its impressive brick pillared entrance. It's the location in a secluded setting in the village of Pen-y-Fai and yet close to Bridgend that was one of the major advantages of this dream home for the current owners.

The owner says: "The location itself is a gem, offering the best of all worlds. Proximity to the city, coast, and mountains provides a unique blend of convenience and natural beauty. The nearby River Ogmore, a mere five minute walk away, has become a personal photography haven for capturing the beauty of kingfishers in their natural habitat. And for outside exercise, the National Cycle Network is only a two minute pedal away."

Back at the house in such stunning surroundings, it's tempting to never want to leave with so many areas to entertain family and friends and so many special spots to find seclusion - it's a family home that has been the setting for many wonderful experiences.

The owner says: "Nestled within our expansive grounds lies a special woodland area, a place of cherished memories. Fondly named 'Gruffalo Woods', this enchanting spot has been the backdrop for countless adventures with our grandchildren, inspiring whimsical tales and delightful fairy-spotting escapades."

The house has been cleverly designed to make the most of its special location via a heated luxury summerhouse, a large patio that spans the rear of the house, and a roof terrace with direct access from two of the luxury bedroom ensuites.

Maybe the most special space in the house is the bespoke kitchen that flows into the light-drenched, vast orangery that then leads into a more intimate sitting room - it's a triumph. Upstairs there are four luxury bedroom suites waiting to impress with high-end finishes and sophisticated décor.

There's also a surprising leisure wing that includes a gym, steam room and sauna. The agent states that planning permission has been granted for a single-storey swimming pool extension with a changing room and plant room.

It's time for another family to enjoy the house and the land, but it will forever be at the core of this family's memories. The owner says: "As we bid farewell to Angelton Hall, we'll miss the breathtaking views, the diverse wildlife, and the play of light through the large windows. The enchanting journey up the driveway has always given us that extra special welcome home."

A mansion is only as grand as its first impression entrance hall and this abode can certainly take a visitor's breath away as soon as they step inside with a double-height ceiling and central staircase that splits into two, with the addition of touches of gold to ensure it makes a big impact. From a practical point of view the hall is a superstar too - providing easy access to every zone of the house.

Clever design ensures the kitchen flows effortlessly into the orangery via two large floor-to-ceiling doorways, inviting light and views into the kitchen too. More thought has been given to this space with the perfect placement of mirror wall panels and shiny surfaces including the gold and granite island, which help to reflect light around the room.

There are many amazing spaces at this incredible home but arguably the top spot is the orangery at the rear of the home, accessed via the kitchen and offering zoned spaces to lounge and relax, an area to add a big dining table, and even an area to work and study at the far end, all surrounded by huge windows and banks of sliding glass doors that frame multiple, mesmerising views of the magical woodland garden.

The orangery is easily an all-year round space and its design was not only given careful thought about usage but also positioning. The owner says: "A majestic giant oak tree commands attention in the heart of the grounds. Strategic placement of our orangery ensures that the oak tree becomes a captivating visible feature."

The owner says: "As an artist, the orangery serves as my creative haven, embracing abundant natural light and offering breathtaking views of the surrounding grounds. The ambience, views, and peace make it an ideal space for anyone seeking to work from home, transforming the orangery into a serene and inspiring workspace."

Just when you think you've seen all the orangery has to offer there's an extra room waiting to be discovered at the very end, and it's a brilliant contrast to the big, open-plan space - a cosier area to snuggle up and watch TV but clever design means the room does not miss out on the view that the orangery boasts about.

In this bonus sitting room found off the orangery there's clever use of mirror panels again - this time reflecting the garden view so that when you are relaxing on the sofa you are flanked by the stunning garden vista.

Up the sweeping central staircase to find a galleried landing so spacious that it can happily host a lounge space within its central area. On the other side of the exterior wall is the roof terrace, so maybe a new owner might fancy changing the windows to one big door so this space can access this bonus outside area plus be able to enjoy the garden views from inside too.
