Description

Dolen Farm is an enchanting and characterful Welsh farmhouse, constructed from local stone and later extended during the Victorian period and again in 2021. Offering a wonderful blend of period charm and modern improvements. Set within approximately 1.4 acres of established gardens and paddocks, it enjoys a wonderfully peaceful countryside setting with ample parking and practical areas for equestrian use, vehicles and trailers.

The farmhouse has wonderful original features that include Welsh slate flooring, exposed oak beams and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The atmospheric dining room, believed to be around 300 years old, provides a memorable space for entertaining, while the bright dual-aspect sitting room features a multi-fuel stove and French doors opening onto the Welsh slate terrace and gardens.

Further accommodation includes a fitted farmhouse kitchen with cold pantry or cellar, utility room, two shower rooms, family bathroom and four first-floor bedrooms, one currently used as a home office. A light-filled extension with underfloor heating, large windows and patio doors offers excellent flexibility, with potential for annexe, guest or studio accommodation, subject to consent.

Outside, the grounds are a fantastic set up for equestrian uses, or space for other animals or hobbies in a beautiful countryside setting close to the coast. 3 small paddocks, and hard standing space with barn currently used as a stable, hay barn and tack room.

Dolen Farm is conveniently located near Ynys-hir Nature Reserve and Michelin restaurant of the same name, the Dyfi Osprey Project, Ynyshir Restaurant and Machynlleth, with the beaches of Borth and Ynyslas also within easy reach.

About Fine and Country West Wales, Aberystwyth

The Gallery Station Approach Alexandra Road, Aberystwyth, SY23 1LH
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0

During March 2022, Fine & Country West Wales proudly received the prestigious Top Operator in Wales Award at the Fine & Country Conference in Westminster. This accolade was warmly welcomed by Managing Director, Nigel Salmon, and recognised the culmination of 18 months of focused, high-quality work.

Fine & Country was introduced to the beautiful Mid and West Wales region in late summer 2020, at the height of the pandemic, by Nigel and his team. Since then, the business has gone from strength to strength, earning a reputation for outstanding marketing of distinctive homes, particularly along the Cardigan Bay coastline. This success is underpinned by a wealth of five-star reviews for the West Wales office.

In July 2025, Fine & Country West Wales opened its prestigious new Luxury Property Centre within the former Post Office in Aberystwyth. This stylish and welcoming space reflects the brand’s commitment to elevating the client experience and offering a truly premium environment in which to explore the Fine & Country difference.

Building on this momentum, the company expanded its full-service coverage across the whole of Pembrokeshire and West Carmarthenshire from May 2025, ensuring that clients throughout West Wales can benefit from specialist marketing expertise and a highly visible regional presence. The team is particularly well-known for its skill in relaunching properties, revitalising homes that have previously struggled to sell and giving them a fresh, successful route back to the market.

Most recently, in August 2025, the team relocated to the second floor of the historic Old Post Office building in Aberystwyth. This larger, more prominent headquarters reflects the continued growth of the business and provides an inspiring hub for clients, partners, and the expanding Fine & Country West Wales team.

In parallel with its physical expansion, Fine & Country West Wales has embraced bold innovation, integrating cutting-edge AI systems into its operations. These ensure that no enquiry is missed, properties remain consistently visible across every major platform, and marketing campaigns are data-driven, agile, and constantly refined. Traditional client care is now seamlessly combined with next-generation technology to deliver a premium, proactive, and highly efficient service.

Nigel and his team look forward to welcoming new, existing, and returning clients to their Aberystwyth office, and to continuing to present the very best of West Wales property—locally, nationally, and internationally.
