Description

Tucked into a peaceful semi-rural setting on the edge of the village of Cwrtnewydd, Yr Aber is a genuinely characterful country cottage that has been thoughtfully and comprehensively refurbished — offering the charm of a period stone-and-slate home with none of the compromise on comfort.

The accommodation opens through a welcoming reception hall into a spacious living room, warmed by a cast iron multi-fuel stove and finished with oak-effect flooring and an oak beam room divider that creates a snug, versatile corner ideal as a home office. Beyond, the kitchen/diner is a real showpiece: a bespoke painted pine kitchen with oak worktops sits alongside a striking green oak-framed dining area, where vaulted ceilings and full-width bi-fold doors frame uninterrupted views over the gardens — a wonderful space to cook, entertain, and simply enjoy the setting, whatever the season.

A ground floor bedroom with its own en-suite offers flexible living for multi-generational households or single-storey guest accommodation, while upstairs two further well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a brand new designer family bathroom finished in brushed gold.

Outside is where Yr Aber truly comes into its own. The gardens extend to approximately one acre, bordered by a gently flowing stream on one side and mature woodland on the other — a genuine sense of peace and seclusion, with level, useable grounds that would lend themselves equally to keen gardeners, small-scale animal keeping, or simply relaxing. A well-established vegetable garden, fruit beds and a 35' x 12' polytunnel support a self-sufficient lifestyle, while a purpose-built barbecue and pizza oven make for memorable outdoor entertaining. A traditional stone barn, currently used as a workshop, offers further potential for conversion or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

Located within easy reach of the university town of Lampeter (approx. 6 miles), the market town of Llanybydder (approx. 5 miles), and the Cardigan Bay coastline at New Quay and Aberaeron (approx. 12 miles), Yr Aber offers a rare combination of rural tranquility and everyday convenience.

A property of real character that will appeal to buyers seeking a genuine lifestyle change — early viewing is strongly recommended.

About Fine and Country West Wales, Aberystwyth

Second Floor, 8 Great Darkgate St, Aberystwyth, SY23 1DE
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.
