St Marys Street, Carmarthen, SA31

Two former properties which have been joined by internal doors. Full of character and retaining many original features which include fireplaces, high ceilings, wooden & tiled floors, sash windows etc. The Grade II listed properties are steeped in history and i am sure could tell a few tales. A short walk from the castle remains and town centre, the garden and patio area may give the impression that your in the country with fine views from the rear. Number 4 has been used as a antiques sale room and previously was the home of a prominent solicitors office. Lovingly cared for the property offers potential for bed and breakfast, eatery or similar (STP). Or equally to remain as an impressive family home. The accommodation is tastefully presented and spread over 3 floors with the rear windows having impressive views towards the Towy River and over the formal gardens  below. The property is set within the historic town of Carmarthen with its castle remains and many shops within the centre. 

History No 4

Built in the early to mid-C19 as a pair with Number 3, said to be dated DM 1830 on a roof truss, marked on 1834 map. The site was that of the 'Nagg's Head' inn, recorded in 1573, and where Cromwell was said to have stayed in 1649. Said to have been rebuilt as the town house of Williams family of Edwinsford.The plot is unusually long, extending down to the town wall, but is more built over on 1834 map. The antiquarian Francis Green was born at No 3 in 1853, then occupied by his father, Francis Green, attorney. From c1870 to 1887 No 4 was occupied by Ashbridge's School, or the Carmarthen Collegiate School, owned by John Hales Ashbridge.
