WHOLE ESTATE. Offering a stunning main house, large secondary dwelling, two cottages, landscaped grounds, tennis court, summer house and boat house fronting the River Teifi.
This waterfront estate comprises four properties that include Glanteifi House, a substantial double fronted, six-bedroom period mansion set over three floors thought to date to the mid-1800s, that has overtime been extended and modified. The west wing of the house is now a separate four-bedroom dwelling called Mallard House that is currently let to a tenant. Attached to the north of Glanteifi is a cosy two-bedroom cottage called Curlew Cottage, again let to a tenant. The one-bedroom cottage furthest north is called Cormorant Cottage which is run as a holiday let. The cottage with a blue boundary on the land plan (Grebe Cottage) is owned by a third party and is used as a holiday home.
The whole estate comprises about 3.25 acres (stms subject to measured survey) and includes delightful, landscaped grounds and gardens bordering the River Teifi with a tennis court and a large boat house with summer house above. Available for sale as a whole or in part.
