Welcome to one of the Vale of Glamorgan’s most distinguished residences. Key Executive Sales are delighted to present this magnificent Grade II listed Georgian home, located in the charming village of St Hilary. Steeped in rich history and elegance, this six-bedroom property extends to an impressive 7,400 sq/ft and sits within approximately 3.43 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds.

Built in the 1820s for Daniel Jones—a prominent lawyer, philanthropist, and founder of Cardiff Royal Infirmary—the property has a fascinating heritage. Later occupied by Richard Basset, it was also used as a Red Cross convalescent hospital during WWI. In the 1980s, it was carefully restored and modernized by the current owners to create the exceptional family home seen today.

The accommodation is both extensive and versatile. A private gated driveway leads to an open courtyard with wine store, storage and plant room. Inside, the ground floor includes a grand entrance hall, drawing/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, living room, library, laundry, sitting room, rear hall, utility, and two WCs. A separate annex with en-suite bedroom and open-plan living/dining area offers ideal multi-generational or guest accommodation. Two staircases lead to five further bedrooms, four en-suite—and a family bathroom, with an additional attic space on the second floor.

Outside, the grounds offer total privacy, mature trees, formal gardens, storage sheds, greenhouse, and a cottage-style garden to the side. A ha-ha provides sweeping, uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside.

Located in the heart of St Hilary—just minutes from Cowbridge and within easy reach of Cardiff—this home offers a rare combination of history, space, and tranquility. With excellent local schooling and road links nearby, this is a truly unique opportunity to secure one of South Wales’ most iconic period homes.
