Stunning country property offering a real lifestyle change set in magical surroundings.
Pencwm is a delightful country property that offers a stunning main house, a character cottage and an impressive lodge building that now provides a large studio room on the ground floor and a large one bedroom apartment on the first floor. The current owner has successfully let out the main house and cottage in the past while living in the lodge. The gardens and grounds including an idyllic magical garden, pasturefields and woodland complete the property and is perfect for those that want to keep animals or simply enjoy the outdoors. In all the property extends to about 14 acres (stms subject to measured survey).
Accommodation Farm House
The main farmhouse is thought to date c.1926 and was extended by the current owner in 1992. A covered porch leads into the reception hall with beamed ceiling, tiled floor and cloakroom off. On the left is a study (or extra bedroom). At the end of the hall on the left is a large living room again with beamed ceiling and an open fire place providing a warm focal point. French doors open off to the large conservatory with a slate floor and an established grapevine draped across the majority of the ceiling. At the opposite end of the house is the charming kitchen dining room with fitted units, worktops and a cream Aga range taking centre stage. Stairs rise up from the reception hall to the first floor accommodation that includes five bedrooms, all enjoying views across the grounds and gardens. The floor is completed by a family bathroom and separate shower room.
Welsh Longhouse Cottage
Opposite the farmhouse is a traditional Welsh stone longhouse which is full of character and charm. The cottage features a large open plan kitchen living and dining area with a vaulted ceiling, exposed A frames and a central wood burning providing a cosy atmosphere. A bedroom and shower room complete the floor. Steps lead up to the first floor that has another bedroom.
Converted Lodge with Studio and Apartment
There is a further dwelling which has been converted from old stables in 2006. On the ground floor there is an entrance hallway, a wet room/utility area and a kitchen area. Beyond this is a large and light studio room with two sets of French doors that open to the gardens. This room has been used as a yoga studio in the past. Steps lead up from the reception hall to the first that features a large apartment with a vaulted ceiling, kitchen area, wood burning stove, garden room area with balcony to enjoy the views, shower room and bedroom with another balcony overlooking the valley.
Externally
The property enjoys its own private driveway that leads down to the large gravelled courtyard with ample parking and turning area for several vehicles. Useful outbuildings on the edge of the courtyard include a Dutch barn and separate workshop provide space for animals, feed, workshop tools and machinery etc. There are very pretty landscaped grounds and gardens including a productive vegetable garden. The three properties all enjoy their own garden areas as well for privacy. There are four useful parturefields for grazing and hay making etc while the valley below includes a magical secret garden area with walkways, mature trees, planted flowers, bushes, shrubs, pond and a charming BBQ hut. In all, the property extends to about 14 acres (stms).
The idyllic setting of this property really caught me and I love the magical secret garden. A great place to escape to.
