Sellers Insight
“We’ve owned Y Forlan for well over thirty years now and it’s a house that I love every bit as much today as I did when we first happened upon it three decades ago,” says the owner. “I still remember the day we came to look at it. It sits in a slightly elevated position and as we approached it, before even setting foot through the front door, I said, ‘this is the one for me. I don’t need to go inside’. It was the setting that initially grabbed me. There’s virtually nothing but fields all around and so the outlook is breathtaking. You feel as if you’re in the middle of nowhere, but in reality you’re just a hop, skip and a jump from a really vibrant and very beautiful town.”
“The house itself has a really wonderful feel to it. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s certainly something very special about it. It was much loved by the previous owner, but it definitely needed a spruce up and so over time we’ve done quite a lot of work to enhance it. We’ve essentially opened up the layout so there’s a greater sense of space and much better flow, and we’ve also added a number of sets of French doors so that we can enjoy the view and create a lovely sense of connection between inside and out. It still has its original charm so it retains that very warm and welcoming feel, but it’s now a lot lighter and brighter and much more conducive to modern living.”
“The garden is another feature that I fell for when we initially came to look at the property. It’s very large and wraps around the house, and there’s lots of pretty areas that you wouldn’t expect to find. We’ve added an array of beautiful plants that create lots of colour and interest, and we’ve created a number of places where you can sit out, relax and follow the sun. It’s a really tranquil environment and when we’re out there under the big blue sky, perhaps enjoying a BBQ with friends, we feel as if we could be anywhere in the world.”
Favourite room: “The master bedroom is definitely one of my favourites. It’s triple aspect so from up there we get spectacular views across the fields all the way to Carmarthen. I love to sit in be with a cup of tea and just gaze out at the beauty of it all. That’s something I’ll miss when we move.”
Favourite aspect of the grounds or surrounding area: “It’s that feeling of having the best of both that I’ve relished most. At home it’s very peaceful and picturesque, and yet in just a matter of minutes I can access everything I need.”
Memorable event (if not another favourite room or unique feature): “We’ve had some great times in this house; lots of parties and celebrations and we’ve created wonderful memories. One of the most memorable events was our Halley’s Comet party. Because we have no light pollution here, we were able to sit in the garden and watch it! It was an amazing night.”
What they’ll miss most / why they are leaving: “This house needs a new family to fill it and enjoy it, and it’s time for a new chapter in my life,” says the owner. “I can’t quite believe I’ll be leaving after all these years; this house is a part of me and I’ve enjoyed every single minute of my time here.”
