A charming five bedroom detached property situated in a picturesque location.

Description

Ceffyl Gwyn is a charming country home that has been tastefully and thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners. Enjoying views across the surrounding countryside, the property is set within beautifully proportioned grounds extending to about 1.25 acres.

The property sits just off a quiet country road and benefits from a parking area to the front of the house, together with a detached double garage and additional driveway.

Entered via a red brick porch, the ground floor accommodation is both generous and versatile and exudes a sense of contemporary country chic. Features include attractive natural and red tiled floors, exposed wooden beams, characterful detailing and striking fireplaces throughout. The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall, leading to a practical utility room with WC, a comfortable family room and a traditional dining room. The well proportioned sitting room spans the full depth of the house and enjoys direct access to the gardens. It is complemented by a large fireplace with a substantial wooden beam mantel and a wood burning stove.

The heart of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully appointed with a bespoke hand painted Tegla range and centred around a traditional oil fired, 4-oven Aga. A breakfast area enjoys views over the garden. Stairs from the kitchen lead to a charming snug above, creating an inviting retreat, while a further hallway to the rear of the property is currently utilised as a home office.

The impressive principal bedroom on the first floor is accessed via its own staircase, providing a peaceful sense of separation. A recently refurbished en suite bathroom with roll top bath and walk-in shower, together with an adjoining dressing room, creates a private sanctuary. The dressing room could alternatively be used as a nursery or fifth bedroom if required. In addition, there are three further double bedrooms, all served by an upgraded family shower room.

Externally, the gardens are a particular highlight of the property and provide a wonderfully private and tranquil setting. Laid predominantly to lawn, the grounds are interspersed with an attractive array of mature trees, established hedging and specimen shrubs, offering both privacy and a strong connection with the surrounding countryside. The garden slopes gently to a charming stream that meanders through the grounds and is crossed via a picturesque footbridge. A terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with the gardens offering both open areas and more intimate corners.

A detached double garage is complemented by a versatile room above with built in storage, suitable for use as a games room, studio, home office or additional accommodation. Further externally accessed storage, currently utilised as a gym, provides excellent flexibility to suit a range of modern lifestyle requirements.
