Bridell, Cardigan

Looking for a historic home with character, generous gardens and flexible family space? This former 18th-century Inn in Bridell offers 4 bedrooms, three reception rooms, a garage/workshop, and beautifully kept grounds extending to around 0.34 acres.

This historic home sits in the rural village of Bridell and carries a sense of place that comes from a building with genuine longevity in the area. Dating back to the 1700s, it once served as an Inn attached to the former Coach House and still holds the character, proportions and charm expected of a period property in this part of West Wales. The house offers four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a garage/workshop, all set within around 0.34 acres of well-kept, secluded gardens that stretch out behind the house with a strong sense of privacy.

The entrance is at the side of the property, adjacent to the garages, where a step brings you into a practical hall with room for coats and shoes. From here a door opens into the sitting room, which acts as the hub of the home. The character comes through clearly in this space, with the original inglenook fireplace set on a slate hearth and fitted with a multi-fuel log burner, exposed beams overhead, and windows to the front. Built-in storage runs along one wall, and the room links smoothly to the kitchen, lounge and dining area, offering a layout that suits both day-to-day living and larger family gatherings.

The lounge sits to the front and offers another relaxed living space. Features include exposed beams and a multi-fuel stove set into a stone and slate surround. It gives the room a warm, grounded feel, and combined with the sitting room creates a balanced set of reception spaces for various uses.

Details Continued: - To the rear, accessed via double doors, the kitchen/diner has been recently updated to form a practical and pleasant family area. New, modern units, matching wall and base storage, double butler sink, built in dishwater and recycling store, space for a 5 ring electric cooker range and space for an American style fridge freezer (both available by separate negotiations), a stylish Oak worktop and peninsula breakfast bar sit alongside space for food preparation, cooking and socialising all flowing beautifully into the dining/seating area, which is a light-filled space with sliding doors leading out to the raised patio. Additional windows frame the garden and make this room bright throughout the day, giving a good view across the lawn, detached seating zones and mature planting.

A door leads from the dining area into the inner hallway, connecting to the ground-floor shower room and the garage/utility area. The recently fitted shower room includes a double shower, WC and wash hand basin with storage, with tiled sections around the shower and sink. This is a welcome addition for families or visitors staying over. From the inner hallway, a door and step-down leads into the first part of the garage, now arranged as a utility and storage area. There is space for laundry appliances, an up-and-over door to the front and a stable door to the garden at the rear. An internal door brings you into the second garage section, currently used as a workshop where the oil-fired central heating boiler is also housed. This area has a window to the back and its own up-and-over door.

Details Continued: - Upstairs the landing includes a triple-glazed Velux window to the rear, fully opening and fitted with a blackout blind and insect screen. Cottage-style wooden doors lead into the four bedrooms and the bathroom. Bedrooms three and four sit at the back of the house, both with dormer windows overlooking the garden. Bedroom three also has a frosted gable-end window and is currently arranged with two single beds. Bedroom four includes useful under-eaves storage and is currently used as a workspace. Bedrooms one and two are positioned at the front. Bedroom one is a very comfortable double room, currently supporting a super-king bed and full furniture. Bedroom two supports a king-sized bed and includes built-in cupboards and a freshly fitted WC, with toilet, wash hand basin and window.

The main bathroom has also been modernised and now offers a clean, comfortable layout with a separate bath, curved double shower, WC and wash hand basin with storage beneath. A frosted window brings in natural light.

Externally: - Externally, the house sits off an A-road with a grassed verge between the property and the roadside. To the front is a raised slate pathway with steps up to the former front door, showing a hint of the property’s original layout before the addition of the side hallway and double garage. Parking is generous, with space for up to four vehicles in front of the garages, and the further gravelled area to the side.

A secure side gate leads into the main garden, which is slightly elevated with steps up from the rear pathway. The garden is a real highlight of the property, with a well-kept lawn, zoned seating areas, pockets of planting, stone walling and a sense of privacy created by mature shrubs, hedging and trees. It suits both relaxed outdoor time and more structured planting projects. There is a storage shed, a sizeable log store and the oil tank positioned discreetly to one side.

At the end of the garden a path leads into an additional rear plot with a shed, fruit trees and a pond with a water feature. This is a lovely area ideal for growing produce or simply enjoying the quiet backdrop of neighbouring fields. It adds an extra layer of outdoor interest and rounds off the overall space well.

Bridell is close to Cardigan, Cardigan Bay and the wider countryside and coastline of West Wales, making the location practical as well as scenic. This home blends its historic past with comfortable modern touches, all set within gardens that bring a real sense of calm and space.

A character home with thoughtful updates, generous outside areas and strong village roots, offering a great lifestyle in this sought-after part of West Wales. Early viewing is recommended.
