Curlew Cottage, Cardigan, SA43 3LL

Looking for a character cottage with estuary views in a historic waterfront setting?

Curlew Cottage offers two double bedrooms, a courtyard seating area and scope to improve, all within easy reach of Poppit Sands, St Dogmaels and Cardigan in West Wales.

Originally forming part of a much larger waterfront estate stretching between St Dogmaels and Poppit, Curlew Cottage sits within a fascinating and well-documented corner of Cardigan Bay.

The estate was once owned by a succession of shipowners and sea captains, with the main house positioned to overlook the River Teifi as vessels departed for Europe and the Americas.

Today, that historic setting still defines the appeal of this location, with the river curving gently around the peninsula below.

The original estate comprised five properties, including Curlew Cottage, which is attached to the side of Glanteifi House and the rear of Mallards House.

Two other cottages to the side of Curlew Cottage are currently used as a holiday lets, highlighting the flexibility and mixed use within this small waterfront grouping.

Curlew Cottage itself offers a cosy and very improvable home, ideal for buyers looking for a manageable project in a genuinely special position.

On the ground floor, an entrance porch opens into a spacious lounge/dining room, with windows taking in views over the Teifi estuary.

This room forms the heart of the cottage and includes the staircase to the first floor, with useful understairs cupboard, housing the oil-fired boiler.

An archway leads through to the kitchen, fitted with base and wall units, sink with drainer and space for an oven.

The kitchen would benefit from upgrading but provides a workable footprint for improvement.

Details Continued: Stairs rise from the living room to the first-floor landing, which includes an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank and header tanks.

Doors lead to two double bedrooms, both enjoying lovely outlooks across the estuary towards the sea.

The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and electric shower over, wash hand basin and WC, and again offers scope for modernisation.

Externally: Access is via a shared driveway from the country road, leading down to the parking area serving the three cottages and the side of the main house.

Each of the cottages has the right to one parking space, as does the main house.

To the front of the cottage is a small courtyard, a real bonus in this setting and a great spot to sit with a morning coffee or an evening meal while looking out over the River Teifi below.

By separate negotiation of £15,000, there is also the option to purchase an additional block of garden land to the north of the property.

This offers elevated river and sea views and includes a lawned area with a couple of fruit trees, creating a simple but appealing outdoor space away from the main house and parking area.

Curlew Cottage represents an opportunity to secure an affordable foothold in a historic waterfront setting within Cardigan Bay, with clear scope to update and add value over time.

Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the location and outlook Information About The Area: The wider area needs little introduction.
