Orchard House, Wenvoe

Orchard House - Wenvoe, Vale of Glamorgan
Architect-designed. Award-winning. A home that blends village charm with timeless elegance.

Just 10 miles from Cardiff city centre and minutes from both the coast and countryside, Orchard House is a rare opportunity to own a striking, individually designed home with architectural pedigree and everyday practicality.

Commissioned in 1993 and designed by renowned local architect Barry Mayled, this unique residence stands on the site of a former orchard and was recognised in a national design competition for its distinctive style and harmony with its surroundings. It was also designated a 'Positive Building' within the Wenvoe Conservation Area - a testament to its enduring design and quality.

With landscaped wraparound gardens, thoughtfully planned interiors, and a superb village location, Orchard House offers not just generous living space, but a lifestyle that balances privacy, community, and connection.

A Home of Style and Substance
From the striking stained-glass front door to the elegant galleried entrance hall, Orchard House makes a lasting first impression. The layout is designed for flexibility - perfect for both growing families and those who love to entertain.

The interiors blend original architectural features with considered upgrades, including a bespoke kitchen, quality bathroom fittings, integrated lighting, and energy-efficient improvements. Every detail has been designed to enhance comfort and practicality without compromising character.

Outdoors, the professionally landscaped gardens provide colour, privacy, and sun throughout the day - with mature planting, a southwest-facing patio, and thoughtful lighting. Whether it's family barbecues, quiet evenings with a book, or pottering among the flowerbeds, this is a garden that invites you to stay.

A Connected, Peaceful Village
Set in the heart of Wenvoe - one of the Vale's most desirable villages - Orchard House enjoys excellent access to amenities, green space, and leading schools. The village offers a shop, pub, library hub, primary school, and active community life, while nearby Culverhouse Cross (just 10 minutes away) offers major retail options.

Cardiff, Barry, Cowbridge, and Penarth are all within easy reach, with country walks, parks, and the coast on your doorstep. Top-performing state and independent schools are close by, making this a prime location for families and professionals alike.

In the Owners' Words
"We have a spacious house and garden inspired by us and designed as a family home. Orchard House has been an idyllic place to bring up our two children. We love the village and its community, and we're only moving because the house is now too big - but we're not going far."

A Rare Opportunity
Homes with this level of architectural interest, practical features, and location don't come to market often. Orchard House is more than just a property - it's a place to put down roots and thrive.
