I HAVE seen the future and it is a red brick obelisk-like six bedroom home in Dinas Powys.
Sometimes you go for traditional and ‘in-keeping’, other times you might feel like walking on the dark side of Neptune in a brisk wind with one of those Star Trek badges on your breast that you tap and say “beam me up Scotty”.
Well Scotty beamed you up alright, and landed you in The Old Orchard, Merevale, Dinas Powys.
For a whopping £1,850,000 you could amaze your guests to the point of a heart attack and be the one on the street that moved into THAT house.
The Old Orchard is a six bed, four bathroom house akin to a Millennium Falcon, described on Rightmove as a ‘spectacularly designed family home’.

There’s a detached two bedroom annex, open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, detached double garage, gated entrance, off road parking and landscaped gardens set within half an acre.
On the brief, Watts and Morgan say: “We are delighted to market this spectacular, architecturally designed four-bedroom detached family home with a detached two bedroom annex, occupying an enviable position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac set in the heart of Dinas Powys.
“Entered via a solid hardwood door with glazed side panels, you go into a spectacular hallway benefitting from porcelain tiled flooring, a 'Velux 'roof light, recessed ceiling spotlights, a wall-mounted alarm panel and a Walnut staircase leading down to the lower ground floor where the bedroom accommodation is found.

“The sitting room enjoys Amtico wood-effect flooring, a central feature fireplace with a wood burner, recessed ceiling spotlights and aluminium bi-fold and sliding doors providing access onto a private composite balcony enjoying spectacular elevated views over Dinas Powys and beyond.”

And on the annex? “Bespoke aluminium French doors provide access into the spacious open-plan kitchen/living/dining room which is the focal point of the annex.
“The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room enjoys Amtico wood-effect flooring, recessed ceiling spotlights, a wall-mounted audio/visual gate intercom system and a central feature dual aspect gas fireplace.”
Get your flux capacitor out, jump into your DeLorean and go see Watts and Morgan in Penarth if you want to buy.
