Gelliwen, Pontgarreg, Llandysul, SA44 6AU

A beautifully restored detached period home with countryside and distant sea views, combining timeless character with modern energy efficiency.

Dating back to 1908, this charming stone-fronted property has been sympathetically renovated by the current owner to preserve its original features while creating a stylish and comfortable family home.

Benefiting from solar panels and an air source heat pump, the property offers character, charm and sustainability in equal measure, all within easy reach of Ceredigion's stunning coastline.

The accommodation is entered via the front door into the welcoming living room, where a beautiful bay window fills the space with natural light.

Original quarry tiled flooring blends seamlessly with painted wooden floorboards, while an attractive feature fireplace with an open fire creates a cosy focal point.

A striking wooden staircase rises to the first floor, while a step leads through a stable door into the kitchen. The country-style kitchen enjoys dual aspect windows, allowing light to flood the room.

Featuring freestanding units, a traditional butler's sink, tiled flooring and an exposed stone feature wall, it perfectly complements the character of the home.

From here a door provides access to the rear garden. From the kitchen, a door leads into the cosy snug, complete with a recessed fireplace housing a wood-burning stove.

Bi-fold doors open directly onto the gravelled seating area, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The dining room continues the home's period charm, boasting quarry tiled flooring, exposed wooden beams, a feature fireplace with an open fire, a built-in cupboard and a bay window overlooking the front garden.

The layout flows effortlessly back into the living room, creating an excellent space for both everyday family life and entertaining. The first floor features a split-level landing.

To one side is a stylish shower room fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin, together with a further bedroom, currently utilised as a dressing room.

To the opposite side are two double bedrooms, both enjoying beautiful countryside and distant sea views. Externally, the property is equally impressive.

To the front, a lawned garden is bordered by mature shrubs and colourful flower beds. A pathway to the side leads to a low-maintenance gravelled seating area, perfectly positioned outside the snug.

Steps rise to the area, which is laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging and trees, with wonderful countryside views to both the front and rear.

The current owners particularly enjoy the spectacular sunsets, which linger well into the evening during the height of summer.

They also advise that the property's rural location benefits from exceptionally dark skies, making it an ideal spot for stargazing and astronomy enthusiasts.

Towards the rear of the garden is a delightful seating area with a potting shed, greenhouse, raised flower beds and an ideal spot for a fire pit, making it the perfect place to spend your evenings.

The vendors also advise that the gardens attract an abundance of wildlife throughout the year, including swallows, house martins, red kites, bats and a variety of butterflies.

A further flight of steps leads to the parking area, providing off-road parking for two vehicles together with a block-built carport offering additional covered parking or storage.

Pontgarreg is situated in the sought-after Ceredigion coastline and is just a short drive from some of the area's most celebrated beaches, including Penbryn, Llangrannog, Cwmtydu, Aberporth and New Quay.
