Penderi, Llanfallteg, Whitland, SA34

Occupying a delightful position just outside the thriving community of Llanfallteg, this wonderful barn conversion has been lovingly renovated by its current owners. The scale of the project in transforming this, at the time, dilapidated barn would have dissuaded all but the most determined of buyers. However, Ysgubor now stands as a testament to their hard work and vision. Offering highly flexible accommodation over two levels, with a tasteful extension to the rear, this intriguing property offers something for everyone. The sale also includes a range of outbuildings, including a one bedroom self-contained cottage, and approximately ten acres of prime pasture on this charming, south facing site.

Heading back down the entrance corridor you come to another double bedroom with dual aspect windows, the well-appointed family bathroom, and a study/home office to the rear of the home.

A door from the home office opens into a rear hallway which has its access to the outside. A staircase leads up from here to the two bedrooms and ensuite on the first floor. Recently run as a highly successful, and award winning, bed and breakfast space this first floor level would also offer the perfect space for a multi-generational buyer looking to purchase a property that includes a self-contained space. When the property was renovated, services were brought up to the first bedroom to enable a kitchen to be fitted, if required, making it ideal as a one bedroom annex to the main home. If this was not needed the space could be effortlessly integrated into the property to provide a master ensuite with its own spacious dressing room.

Externally the property also offers a large, oak framed, double garage with storage above. To the rear of this structure is a wonderful, and unexpected, addition to the home, a one bedroom cottage. This space is completely self-sufficient to the main home and offers a lovely homely space comprising of an open plan living space with an ensuite bedroom off it. Previously used as overflow accommodation for the family, and the successful bed and breakfast. In addition to this structure there is a large barn, which could also provide stabling for horses and a separate, block built, kennels/storage building.

Beyond the outbuildings you find approximately ten acres of prime pastures, split into two paddocks and three fields along with a poly tunnel and veg garden. The land has been grazed and cut for hay in the past with the easily accessible land sure to be of interest to equestrian owners.

Positioned on the border of Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, Ysgubor is ideally positioned to explore the beautiful countryside and coastline of West Wales. The A40 and the train station at Whitland are also easily accessible from the property, a great bonus in this peaceful position.
