Gilfachrheda, New Quay

Looking for a cottage near the coast with flexible space including potential for an annex, gardens, parking and easy access to New Quay? Looking for a home that blends rural calm with Cardigan Bay living in West Wales, plus the convenience of beaches, harbour life and local amenities nearby?

Set along a private no-through lane on the edge of Gilfachrheda, this detached 4-bed cottage offers a relaxed rural/coastal setting with easy access to New Quay’s harbour, beaches and local amenities, and only a short drive to the harbour town of Aberaeron. The layout has a straightforward flow, with two staircases, flexible rooms and useful outbuildings, creating a home that feels practical for modern living in West Wales, close to Cardigan Bay.

The main entrance brings you into the sitting room, which is a spacious, comfortable space with a wood-burning stove set into a stone surround on a slate hearth, and windows looking out toward the wooded valley. This space forms the central hub of the house, linking the kitchen to the inner hallway and the ground-floor bedrooms.

The kitchen/breakfast room sits to the left of the sitting room. This room overlooks the pond in the side garden and features original quarry tiled flooring, fitted wooden wall and base units, an eye-level electric double oven and grill, space for a dishwasher, plumbing for a washing machine and room for a freestanding fridge-freezer. Open wooden stairs rise directly from here to the first-floor snug and bedroom.

Another door from the sitting room leads into the utility room, fitted with a wooden worktop, a small butler sink, tiled flooring and plumbing for appliances. An opening leads into the conservatory, which has a self-cleaning glass roof and looks out across the woodland to the rear, with access into the garden.

Details Continued: - From the inner hallway, the ground-floor bedroom sits to the right, a double room facing the front garden and woodland beyond. Opposite is the family bathroom, recently updated with a new shower, bath, basin and toilet, along with a handy airing cupboard that houses the hot water tank and shelving for storage.

Continuing along the hall brings you to the office, currently used as a home workspace but flexible enough to become a dressing room, studio or small sitting room. A door from here leads into another double bedroom with a recently updated en-suite, fitted with a P-shaped bath, electric shower, basin and toilet.

The second staircase on this side of the cottage rises to the opposite first-floor area, giving access to the main bedroom. This room includes a Velux window to the rear, a built-in wardrobe, W/C with toilet and basin, and access to a small loft area with lighting and shelving.

The first-floor space above the kitchen is arranged as a snug and further bedroom. This bedroom includes fitted storage and a Velux window facing the rear. The snug beside it adds flexibility — ideal for hobbies, reading, study or occasional overflow sleeping when needed. Some areas of the first-floor rooms have restricted head height, typical of traditional cottages.

Externally: - Outside, the gravelled drive sits to the front, with further parking on the opposite side of the cottage. The garden extends to around 0.2 acres and includes shaped lawns, raised beds, shrubs, a small ornamental pond, patio area and pathways connecting the different sections. The woodland backdrop brings regular wildlife activity, including kites, buzzards, jays, blue tits and owls.

Two stone and brick outbuildings provide ideal storage for garden tools, beach gear or bikes. A path behind the top store shed connects to a public footpath, leading to the upper tier of the garden, which is mainly lawn with shrubs and edged by woodland.
Gilfachrheda is well-placed for both countryside walks and coastal days out. New Quay is only a short drive away, offering its well-known harbour, sandy beaches, dolphin sightings, cafés, pubs, restaurants, doctor’s surgery, primary school and supermarket. Morrisons Daily is around eight minutes away, with further shopping in Cardigan, including Aldi, around half an hour’s drive.

New Quay Beach and Harbour are roughly five minutes by car, while the quieter Cei Bach beach is around a 28-minute walk. The surrounding lanes also suit those who enjoy cycling or gentle outdoor exploring. Altogether, this cottage offers a blend of comfortable living, useful space and coastal access, in a setting that reflects the best of West Wales living near Cardigan Bay.
