Pentre, Bridell, Cardigan.SA43 3DG

Detached character farmhouse set in a charming courtyard setting with spacious well presented accommodation that has the right mix of formal and informal living space. Situated at the end of its own private drive the property has a delightful garden and is surrounded by its own land and whilst it is currently used as a working farm it has obvious potential for equestrian and self-sufficiency use as well.

Favourably situated in rural West Wales the property is private but not isolated being only a 10 minute drive from the popular coastal town of Cardigan and again is within easy reach of the renowned Ceredigion coastline and its delightful beaches and coves.

Since the Vendors purchase of the property some 21 years ago, the Dwelling has been subject to upgrading and extending works, whilst being careful to preserve its period and rural charm, and now provides comfortable character accommodation with up to 5 bedrooms if desired, and for a new owner to put their own stamp on it. Also since their occupation there has been the erection of several modern steel framed buildings for the housing of cattle/fodder/machinery, but could easily be adapted for other uses if desired. Lying on the bottom end of the original yard, is a 54' long stone/part block former cowshed, which does provide potential conversion to holiday let unit/separate annexe/studio/work from home office (subject to necessary consents). The land surrounds the Homestead on all aspects, and is mainly down to useable pasture, with some amenity areas.

The private worn tarmac/hardcore entrance lane leads down off from the minor roadway, giving access to three of the pasture enclosures, before arriving at the Homestead, with a sizable gently sloping yard area, being of hardcore base and partly with a gravelled cover, and the House is set on the bottom, with the traditional outbuildings set on a 'L' shaped arrangement.

The Detached, stone/block/slate and part flat roof House has been subject to a two storey extension to one side, and various general upgrading works, and provides comfortable 4/5 bedrooms, and 3-4 Reception Rooms, together with a bathroom on both floors. The Dwelling provides opportunities for multi-generational living or even B&B enterprise if so desired.
