Looking for a character-filled former village schoolhouse with real presence, generous living space and standout original features, all within easy reach of the Cardigan Bay coastline? This thoughtfully converted stone property in the heart of Caerwedros combines vaulted interiors, practical accommodation and distinctive outdoor features to create a home that works beautifully in West Wales.

Formerly the village schoolhouse, this beautifully converted stone property sits in the heart of Caerwedros, a well-regarded rural village within easy reach of the Cardigan Bay coastline in West Wales. The conversion strikes a thoughtful balance between modern comfort and retained character, resulting in a home that feels distinctive, practical and full of personality, with the added benefit of beautiful detached overflow accommodation and a workshop.

The approach immediately sets the tone. A private driveway provides parking for four to five vehicles, bordered by exposed stone walls that echo the building’s origins. The original red telephone box and village post box remain in place within the driveway, offering genuine character features that are increasingly hard to find. From here, a wide, gently sloping ramp leads up to the front door, giving straightforward access into the house.

Inside, the main hallway acts as the central spine of the home, linking much of the ground-floor accommodation. Exposed stonework, timber doors and carefully chosen finishes reinforce the sense that this is a building with a story, rather than a standard conversion. Three well-proportioned bedrooms sit on this level, all benefitting from solid dimensions typical of a former public building, along with a family bathroom and an additional ensuite bathroom off the master bedroom, with built-in wardrobes, this home supports everyday living with ease.

Continued - A neatly arranged utility room is tucked away off the hallway, providing useful storage and laundry space without encroaching on the main living areas. The overall layout flows well and feels considered, with each room clearly defined while remaining connected.

The heart of the home is the vaulted kitchen, dining and living space. This impressive room makes full use of the building’s original volume, with high ceilings, exposed stone detailing and a strong sense of scale that works equally well for daily life and social occasions. The kitchen is arranged around a substantial central island with extensive worktop space and fitted units, while the dining and seating areas sit comfortably alongside, anchored by a wood-burning stove that adds warmth and focus to the room.

Natural light enters through tall windows and glazed doors, reinforcing the connection between inside and out and highlighting the quality of the conversion. Despite its size and architectural interest, the room remains practical and easy to live in, rather than feeling showy.

Stairs rise to the upper level, where the fourth bedroom is located. Also vaulted, this room enjoys a degree of separation from the rest of the accommodation, making it particularly suitable as a main bedroom, guest suite or home office. The proportions and ceiling height give it a distinctive feel, while still fitting comfortably into the overall layout of the house.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the rear is a beautifully paved patio area laid with attractive stone slabs and original cobbled detailing, all fully enclosed and enjoying a good degree of privacy. The surrounding gardens are well landscaped and easy to manage, with clearly defined seating areas and established planting that softens the stonework and enhances the overall setting.

Separate workshop buildings and additional overflow accommodation add a further layer of flexibility, whether for hobbies, storage or working from home.

Overall, this is a well-judged conversion that retains the character of its former life while offering a layout and level of comfort suited to modern living.
