Description

Nestled in the peaceful village of Llanboidy, Glanyrafon is a beautifully maintained Victorian 4/5 bedroom detached home built in 1878 for the village Doctor. The property sits within approximately half an acre of mature gardens and framed by breathtaking countryside views.

Brimming with charm and rich in character, this much loved residence showcases a wealth of period features that reflect its history while offering the comfort and versatility required for modern family living.

From the moment you step into the welcoming hallway, the home’s warmth and personality are immediately apparent. Attractive feature fireplaces create striking focal points within the reception rooms, adding both elegance and cosiness to these living spaces.

Characterful windows throughout allow natural light to pour in while framing delightful views of the surrounding gardens and countryside, enhancing the home’s bright yet intimate atmosphere.

The ground floor offers a superb range of flexible living accommodation, including a sitting room, dining room, reception room (historically this room is called the Snug or Cwtch in Welsh) and kitchen. Each are well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged for both everyday living and entertaining. A practical utility room incorporates a downstairs shower room and provides direct access to the rear garden, seamlessly blending charm with functionality.

The first floor offers four generously proportioned bedrooms, providing comfortable and flexible family accommodation. The vibrant landing space, rich in character and enjoying delightful views over the garden, creates a bright and welcoming focal point to the upper level. One bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, while a well appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.

The second floor has been thoughtfully converted and is currently arranged as a craft room, with an adjoining loft room offering excellent additional versatility - ideal as a home office, hobby space, playroom, or useful storage area.

Externally, the enclosed rear gardens extend to approximately half an acre and offer a private and established setting. To the right of the garden is a woodland garden containing deciduous trees, a monkey puzzle tree, mature shrubs such as camellias, rhododendrons and hydrangeas. This area is well stocked with snowdrops and daffodils. The garden also benefits from two lovely bridges which take you over a small stream. In the back of the house, there is patio seating space perfect for outdoor dining, and a poly tunnel along with raised beds for keen gardeners.

A large detached garage provides excellent workshop or storage potential, with off-road parking for two vehicles available to the side of the property. To the side of the garage is a covered storage area with a door at the front and open access from the rear.

Set within a village steeped in local history and strong community spirit, Llanboidy offers a range of amenities including a village shop and Post Office, a primary school, a crafts group, a sports and social club plus junior and senior soccer teams.

The town of Whitland lies approximately five miles away, providing further facilities including doctors’ surgeries, two dentists and a convenient railway station, which has adequate parking facilities. The larger towns of Carmarthen, Haverfordwest and Cardigan are also in close proximity providing further amenities.

A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious countryside home that perfectly blends character features, generous living space, and a desirable village setting. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that Glanyrafon has to offer.
