Llanybydder, Ceredigion. SA40 9UG

Built circa 1897 we believe by a successful "hotelier" who wanted to impress his neighbours and friends with both his taste and wealth the property has an abundance of original character features that fortunately have survived the fashions of the intervening years. Situated at the end of a hardcore farm lane shared with the adjoining former original Farm the property is set amidst 1 acre of grounds, gardens and woodland that provides a delightful outside space for families and keen gardeners. The property is also only approximately ½ a mile from the village of Llanybydder with its Grocery stores, Public houses, Primary School, Garages etc and is within a 10 minute drive of the larger town of Lampeter and the county town of Carmarthen is within a 25-30 minute drive.

SERVICES Mains water and electric connected. Private drainage. Oil-fired central heating. We are informed that Fibre Broadband is available.

DESCRIPTION:


Cae-da-bowen House was obviously built as a statement house with its ornate fireplaces, mosaic tiled flooring and high ceilings together with its imposing façade with double height bay window. The property has had a new heating system installed within the last 8 years and new windows within the last 2 years and whilst the house appears to be generally in good order some, mainly cosmetic, improvement works are required. The large windows give a light and airy feel to the house and with a south-westerly facing garden the property also enjoys a sunny situation.
