Spacious 3-bed stone home with large garden, outbuildings and energy-efficient systems.
A-rated energy performance with solar panels and air source heating
Set on a generous 0.33-acre plot on the edge of Newcastle Emlyn, this three-bedroom stone home blends Victorian character with modern energy efficiency. The cosy lounge with an inglenook fireplace and multi-fuel stove provides a warm focal point, while the large kitchen with Rangemaster range, pantry and Bosch appliances suits family cooking and entertaining. A conservatory leads directly to extensive lawns, vegetable beds, fruit trees, greenhouse and a powered log-cabin — ideal for home working or hobbies.
A distinctive feature is the attached former smithy, offering a large ground-floor space with mezzanine and power that could be a workshop, studio or adaptable ancillary room. The house benefits from A-rated energy performance thanks to solar panels and an air-source heat pump, yet retains useful traditional features such as exposed beams and a slate hearth.
Buyers should note a few practical matters: main heating includes an oil-fired boiler alongside the heat pump, drainage is private, and council tax is band E (above average). The seller advises there may be asbestos in the smithy roof (not tested) and that pipistrelle bats have been seen in the attic — these points will require appropriate surveys and possible remediation. The garden’s built pet enclosure can be removed to create additional growing space if desired.
Overall this is a large, character-filled family home with strong outdoor and flexible outbuilding space, low local crime, fast broadband and easy access to Newcastle Emlyn and Cardigan Bay. It will particularly suit buyers seeking countryside living, room for hobbies or small-scale home enterprise, and energy-efficient running costs with some practical matters to resolve before conversion of outbuildings.
