This particularly attractive, distinctive family home was built in 1972 and extended in the mid-1990s. Individually architect designed, the residence has a unique contemporary character with sleek lines, high ceilings to the ground floor and sliding patio doors spanning the entire rear elevation, framing beautiful views across the sweeping, landscaped grounds to the countryside beyond. The house has the benefit of Solar Panels providing hot water through the summer months, oil-fired central heating with underfloor heating to most of the ground floor, and double glazing. The spacious, well presented accommodation offers 3 Reception Rooms, Conservatory, Kitchen, Utility Room, 3 Bedrooms (one en suite), Bathroom and Shower Room, plus a Garage. It would be possible to create a 4th bedroom, bathroom and sitting room or 5th bedroom above the Garage if required, subject to any necessary planning permission being obtained.) The gardens and grounds (approx 3.5 acres) feature a wide variety of mature trees as well as a large ornamental pond. There is an amenity woodland area which extends over some 2 Acres, providing a haven for birds and other wildlife, which if within a 12 year period was brought into the garden by creating pathways and general cropping could be legally added to the deeds.

A bakery is just over ½ mile away, and Beulah village is about 1¾ miles, with shop/post office and primary school. Tan-y-Groes village is 2½ miles, also with a general store/post office.

THE LOCATION:

Brynawel Bakery is just over half a mile away and Beulah village is about 1¾ miles, on the B4333 road, with sub post office/general store and primary school, whilst Tan-y-Groes village is about 2½ miles, also with a sub post office/general store. Further primary schools and a secondary school are available at Newcastle Emlyn, some 5 miles to the south, a traditional old market town on the meandering River Teifi, with a good selection of shops including antique, craft and book shops, a covered market, pubs, restaurants, theatre, leisure centre, swimming pool, and the ruins of the only Welsh stone castle in the region, probably founded circa 1240. The town grew around a crossing point over the Teifi, also favoured as a good defensive site because of the loop in the river.
Cardigan (Aberteifi) is about 9 miles westwards, an attractive market town at the north of the Pembrokeshire Peninsula where the Teifi estuary flows into Cardigan Bay. Once a very busy port before the coming of the railway changed its status, the town has good shopping amenities, primary and secondary schools, college, leisure centre, swimming pool, hospital, cinema/theatre, Guildhall, Heritage Centre on the wharf, and the remains of a Norman castle overlooking the river. Historically, Cardigan was the chief town of the old Welsh kingdom of Deheubarth. In the 11th and 12th Centuries it changed hands between the Welsh and the invading Normans several times. In 1176 at a time when the Welsh held power, the very first cultural Eisteddfod took place here. To the west of Cardigan is St. Dogmell's, situated at the end of the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Trail which runs up from Amroth in the south covering a distance of about 186 miles along the magnificent coastline.
Access to the A487 road is about 2¼ miles away (the road that runs from Haverfordwest through Fishguard and Cardigan up to Aberystwyth, Snowdonia and beyond, taking in some splendid sea views along the way). Carmarthen is 22¼ miles southwards, where access can be gained to the A48, which links to the M4 Motorway a further 15 miles to the south-east.
Universities are located at Lampeter, 20 miles east, Aberystwyth, 31½ miles north-east, Swansea, 49 miles south-east, and Cardiff, 86 miles south-east.
Ferry links to Rosslare in Ireland can be accessed at Fishguard Harbour, 28 miles to the south-west.
On Ceredigion's glorious Heritage Coast, the seaside village of Tresaith is only 4 miles from the property in a northerly direction, being very picturesque with a high waterfall formed by the River Saith tumbling over the cliffs to the sands below. Neighbouring Penbryn has nearly a mile of golden sands owned by the National Trust, approached through the woodland of the fern clad Hoffnant valley. Public footpaths lead south-westerly along the coast to Cardigan and beyond to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Trail. There are pubs, guest houses, hotels and camp sites in the locality. Aberporth is about 4½ miles to the north-east of the property with a primary school, sub-post office, grocery store, chemist, etc., together with a cafe, take-aways, and pubs. Aberporth village overlooks two delightful sheltered beaches, Traeth y Dyfryn and Dolwen, which are joined at low tide, offering golden sands, little coves, rock pools, and a shallow stream crossing the sand. (Apparently dogs are not allowed on the beaches here.) Exhilarating cliff top walks can be enjoyed, with wonderful coastal views – as far as Aberystwyth and the Lleyn Peninsula on a clear day. This part of Cardigan Bay is a within a Conservation area – the bay is renowned for bottlenose dolphins, porpoises and grey seals. Further along the coast to the north-east, New Quay is 12 miles, in a sheltered bay with golden beaches and miles of secluded coves nearby, whilst Aberaeron is 16 miles distant, a thriving town with notable architecture, good shopping and craft centres and picturesque harbour.
The seaside town of Aberystwyth is 31½ miles north-easterly situated at the mouth of the river Ystwyth. The town lies between three hills and two beaches and is surrounded by beautiful unspoilt countryside. Being the main holiday resort and administrative centre for the west coast, it is home to the National Library and the University of Wales, which is set near the seashore. There is a wide promenade and a marina, and Victorian/Edwardian buildings line the front. The town has good shopping and leisure amenities, an arts centre, cinema, sports facilities, numerous cafes, bars and restaurants, hotels and pubs, as well as the ruins of an ancient Welsh castle and, in the hills nearby, the remains of an iron age fort. The Aberystwyth Electric Cliff Railway climbs Constitution Hill from the promenade, and stunning views can be enjoyed from the summit, where the famous Camera Obscura with its revolving mirror is sited (a reproduction of the Victorian original).
This lovely region is ideal for outdoor leisure activities, including walking, bird watching (there is a rich diversity of bird life in the region, including the Red Kite), horse riding, cycling, fishing, canoeing, and golf. Cardigan Golf Course is about 10½ miles to the west, with Cardigan Squash Club nearby, and Saron Golf Course is 9 miles to the south-east. There are numerous places of interest to visit in the area. To the west, the Felinwynt Butterflies and Rainforest Centre is 7 miles and the Cardigan Coast Farm Park 10½ miles distant. The Urdd Activity Centre and Dry Ski Slope is 6½ miles north-east at Llangrannog. On the river Teifi, the beautiful Cenarth Falls and National Coracle Centre, with pools, a 200 year old bridge and salmon leap, are only 6 miles southwards, whilst Cilgerran, 9 miles south-west, has a 13th Century Castle set in woodland on the edge of a steep gorge, with the Welsh Wildlife Centre and Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve nearby. The splendid river Teifi flows from Llyn Teifi, its source lake 1500 feet up in the Cambrian Mountains, to journey over some 70 miles down to its estuary at Cardigan Bay. The river forms the boundary between Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. Access to the Teifi Valley Railway is 6 miles to the south-east of the property, a narrow gauge steam railway travelling for about 2 miles through lovely countryside, with wonderful views of the valley. The busy little market town of Llandysul, 10 miles south-east, nestles on the banks of the Teifi and is popular with anglers fishing for salmon and sewin (sea trout), as well as canoeists, who come to ride the foaming rapids on this part of the river. In bygone days, before electricity, the rushing waters of the Teifi and its tributaries drove the many waterwheels in this region, serving wool and flour mills. A working woollen mill can be seen at the National Woollen Museum at Drefach Felindre, 7 miles to the south-east of the property. The beautiful Preseli Hills and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park are within easy driving distance, with the lovely seaside town of Newport being 19½ miles south-westerly, with its little harbour, golf links, and sandy beach, standing at the foothills of the Preselis. One of the UK's top theme parks, Oakwood Leisure Park, is about 32 miles southwards.
