    Over the years the house has had uPVC double glazed sash windows, triple glazed windows in the kitchen breakfast room, new gas boiler, new skylights in the principal bedroom and en suite and a new lining to the swimming pool. The flexibility of the house as a home or semi-commercial premises adds extra potential for future owners. The excellent barns, stables, horse arena, pasture paddocks with views to the coast and outdoor swimming pool also offer exciting opportunities for leisure and tourism or simply enjoy oneself.

    Accommodation Ground Floor
    An impressive portico entrance leads into the reception hall with ornate Minton tiled floor. Doors lead off to the principal reception rooms. On the left is the dining room with original fire surround and living flame gas fire, that is currently being used an office. On the right is the main large sitting room with an attractive marble fireplace with living flame gas fire and views over the gardens. At the rear of the house is the large kitchen breakfast room that is currently being used as the bed & breakfast guest dining area. It has a green gas & electric Rangemaster 110 cooker, that has two electric ovens (one with a fan), a grill, pan warmer, griddle and also has a matching extractor hood over. There are fitted base and wall units, Belfast sink, room for a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer and a breakfast bar. There is plenty of room for a full-size dining table and chairs in the conservatory part of the kitchen and a sofa, creating that all important ‘family room'. Off the kitchen is a side porch and useful utility room. The utility room/boot room has a sink unit and other base units, plumbing for a washing machine and room for a dryer. It also has a cupboard which houses the gas boiler.

    First Floor
    Stairs rise up from the reception hall to the first floor accommodation that includes three generous bedrooms that overlook the grounds, gardens and surrounding countryside. Two of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with bath and separate showers. One of the en suite bathrooms can be accessed off the landing for use by the third bedroom.

    Second Floor
    Stairs continue to the second floor principal bedroom that enjoys generous space, built in cupboard and an en suite bathroom with separate shower.

    Externally
    Aelybryn has impressive landscaped grounds and gardens with a smart driveway, lawned gardens, mature hedges, trees, bushes, shrubs and flower borders with plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the views.

    Swimming pool
    Beyond the side garden is a pretty summer house and outdoor heated swimming pool that is perfect for family, friends or guests.

    Stables and outbuildings
    The large courtyard at the side and rear of the house has ample space for vehicles etc. Arranged around the courtyard are attractive outbuildings including a stable block with five loose boxes, with water troughs and hay mangers, a hay store and further hay loft, a tack room with kitchen and staff room (currently used as a storage facility). The four sliding barn doors offer easy access to each paddock, making the barn usable as a very large field shelter. There are a further four stables fronting the courtyard all with water troughs, a double garage with height on one side for a horse trailer and workshop with clock tower above, all with power and lighting. There is a rear entrance to the property, to enable easy access with a horse lorry/trailer etc.

    Horse arena
    Measuring about 40m x 20m this all-weather horse arena has a chopped rubber surface.

    The Land
    The land is arranged around the homestead and is divided into various size paddocks. All paddocks have water and one has a stream. In all, the property extends to about 12.79 acres (stms – subject to measured survey).

    Note: The property is tenanted and being used as a B&B, some of the photographs of the property were taken before occupation of the guests currently residing there and so the condition will have changed. Photographs labelled pre B&B are from c.2017.

This property offers a great deal and I especially like the panoramic views of the countryside heading towards the coast.
