Exciting restoration project near the coast at Ferryside.

Description

Rock Cottage is an attractive period coastal property thought to date back to the late 1800s (pre -1880). The property is now an exciting restoration project for new owners to take on and bring it back to its former glory. It offers generous accommodation space over two floors. In summary, the house provides a reception hall with cloakroom and reception area off, a separate drawing room, dining room, kitchen breakfast room, pantry and garden room. The first floor provides a principal bedroom and three further bedrooms together with a bathroom. Externally, the property provides off road parking area, double garage/workshop and pretty gardens and grounds with an area of woodland. In all, the property extends to about 1.4 acres.

Accommodation Ground Floor
The main entrance leads into the reception hall with a cloakroom off and a separate reception area with a snug wood burning stove. The first door on the right of the hallway opens into the drawing room with exposed floorboards, floor to ceiling height window and a wood burning stove providing a warm focal point. Adjacent to this room is the dining room, again with exposed floorboards, fireplace flanked by display alcoves and a bay window with window seat to enjoy the views over the River Towy. At end of the hall is the kitchen breakfast room with a kitchen area, Rayburn range. Doors lead off the kitchen to a garden room and a separate and useful pantry room.

First Floor
The stairs rise up from the reception hall to the first floor accommodation that includes a principal bedroom and three other good size bedrooms (all with wash basins). The main bedroom (room and scope for an en suite bath/shower room) and two others overlook the front garden and out towards the River Towy while the fourth bedroom overlooks the rear garden and woodland. These bedrooms share the use of a family bathroom.

Externally
The property sits in generous grounds, gardens and woodland of about 1.4 acres and includes off road parking area for vehicles, a useful double garage/workshop, pretty gardens and grounds, orchard, seating areas, large lawn, old summerhouse and greenhouse and a path leading up to mature woodland. The woodland stretches above and to the rear of the house. There is a walkway around the woods for access and to enjoy the views of the River Towy, the estuary and out to Carmarthen Bay. A stream also runs through the property.
