Maesllyn, Llandysul

Looking for a home with space to grow, tucked into the countryside with real character and room to breathe? This detached four-bedroom property in Maesllyn comes with just under 4bacres of garden, paddock and private woodland, blending comfort, tradition and the potential for partial self-sufficiency.

Set back off a quiet single-track lane in the small rural hamlet of Maesllyn, this detached four-bedroom property offers something increasingly hard to come by—a character home with land. Totalling around 3.76 acres, the grounds include a well-kept garden, sloping paddock and a separate woodland that’s a short walk from the main house. It's a place that suits those with an eye on practical outdoor space, whether for growing food, keeping animals, managing woodland or simply enjoying the natural setting.

The property is approached from the lane where a tarmac driveway sits beside a cottage-style front garden. There's space for two cars here, and a path leads to the porch, which is more than just a place to take off boots—this area works well as a functional coat and boot room. From here, the main lounge opens up, with slate flooring throughout the original part of the home, exposed beams above, and a standout fireplace with a multi-fuel stove set on a slate hearth beneath a timber mantel. The stove connects to the thermal store and helps to heat the water and radiators throughout the home. A bay window faces out over the front garden and helps to shape the room’s focal point, There’s also a useful walk-in pantry/storage area tucked away.

Off the lounge, a door leads through to the kitchen at the back of the house, and also accessed from the lounge is the dining room, which sits to the side. The dining room echoes the character of the lounge with another multi-fuel stove, exposed beams and a bay window.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA:
Please read our Location Guides on our website for more information on what this area has to offer.

Set amid the rolling hills and peaceful countryside in the hamlet of Maesllyn with a former woollen mill located in centre of the hamlet, it is near the village of Coed-y-bryn, Set around 6 miles from Newcastle Emlyn, with its ruined castle, and around 15 minutes from the coastline of Cardigan Bay, Coed-y-bryn also benefits from village hall.

Continued - In the kitchen, the layout is straightforward and functional. Units are a mix of base and wall cabinets with solid beech worktops. A Rangemaster electric oven with a gas hob is set into place with an extractor over, and there’s a Belfast sink for that traditional touch. A multi-fuel Rayburn sits on one side of the room, bringing additional warmth and offering a second cooking option.

Two utility rooms offer flexibility and practicality. The first, just off the kitchen, is fitted with solid elm worktops, quarry tile flooring, and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. Doors from here lead to a utility/storage/mud room and to the second utility area. This rear utility houses a Belfast sink, a second range of storage units, and the LPG gas boiler. It also provides access to the wet room, which includes a Velux window, shower, WC, and wash basin.

From here, a door leads to the integral garage, currently in use as a workshop. It contains the thermal store tank and double doors that open out onto the front drive, offering additional storage or working space as needed. The rear porch/sunroom is another versatile spot—ideal for drying clothes, storing tools or even a space for pets. It also gives access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, a T-shaped landing connects five bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom sits to the front with a built-in storage cupboard and exposed beams that match the character of the downstairs spaces. Bedroom two, used currently as an office, looks out over the rear garden and also has beam features. Bedroom three has dual-aspect windows and a built-in wardrobe that houses the loft access with a hatch and pull-down ladder. Bedroom four is also located to the rear, and Bedroom five/study, the smallest, is a single room with a view to the side. All other bedrooms are doubles. The family bathroom is practical and simple, with a bath, overhead shower, WC, and basin.

Externally - The property offers plenty to get stuck into. Behind the house is a stone-paved patio area with a pergola and space for outdoor seating. Paths lead through the rear garden and up towards the side where the orchard and practical outbuildings are found. This section includes sheds, greenhouses, log stores, and even a chicken run. The garden is filled with a variety of plants, mature trees, flowers, and bushes in established beds and borders.

The vegetable growing area lies beyond this. It’s been well maintained and is clearly laid out with raised beds and pathways. A polytunnel and another greenhouse sit here, alongside a block-built shed and a gate that leads through to the paddock. Steps also lead up to the orchard area, which is planted with a range of fruit trees.

The paddock is set on sloping ground and is fully enclosed. You also have a right of way over neighbour’s field. From here, the view out across the valley is made up of a blend of open countryside and woodland, giving a real sense of space without being exposed. This is the kind of field that suits a variety of uses—grazing, gardening or just keeping open.

A second driveway is located slightly further along the road, providing alternative access to the edge of the garden and close to the sheds and working area. This entrance can be particularly handy when moving garden supplies, firewood or livestock. other gated entrance provides additional parking for 3 cars/drop livestock entrance - that is via the right of way over neighbours land.

Around five minutes’ walk from the house, past the old slate quarry and up a track, sits the private woodland. Totalling approximately 2.45 acres, it’s made up of a mix of mature native hardwoods and some softwood. The ground has been managed, and paths have been cut through, winding through bluebells in spring and leading to a corrugated shelter near the top. This is currently used for wood storage, but could just as easily be a sheltered picnic spot. There’s also a dedicated coppicing area, offering a renewable source of timber for fuel or other uses.

The whole property runs with a theme of character and self-sufficiency. There are solar panels feeding into the home’s system, a thermal store that links in with the stoves, and the layout of the gardens shows care and planning. It’s a home where food can be grown, firewood can be harvested, and the daily rhythm of life is shaped by the seasons.

This is a well-kept, lived-in place with genuine features and usable space. The kind of property that suits those who want a more hands-on approach to home life—gardening, cooking, heating, and maintaining. With views over the valley and access to the woodland, garden and field, it offers scope to do more with the land while being part of a small rural hamlet.
