4 bedroom country house for sale

Looking for a character home with flexible living space and a great outlook towards the Teifi estuary? Mallards House offers three floors of accommodation, a private driveway, a landscaped garden area plus a tennis court all within just over 0.5 acres, in a popular West Wales coastal setting on the outskirts of the community-spirited estuary village of St Dogmaels in Pembrokeshire.

This house forms the west wing of what was once a substantial waterfront estate overlooking the Teifi estuary in West Wales. Originally part of Glanteifi House this section of the building has since been separated to create a home with its own driveway, garden area, tennis court and a feeling of independence while still retaining the charm and character of the original mid-19th-century structure. Its south-facing position and elevated outlook gives the house a lovely sense of openness, with glimpses through the trees towards the estuary and the countryside beyond.

The ground floor begins with a welcoming hall, with stairs up to the first floor, a WC (with wash hand basin) under the stairs, and a door leading into a generous living room. The living room is a comfortable space with tall windows and plenty of room for seating and dining areas. A step up and door from the living room leads into the kitchen, with matching wall and base units, space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine, the oil-fired boiler, sink with drainer, and electric oven and a door that opens directly out onto the enclosed front yard, making it a practical arrangement for everyday life.

Details Continued: - From the hallway, stairs rise to the first-floor landing (with stairs up to the second floor) where a second reception room provides additional living space, ideal as a sitting room, snug or hobby room, an emergency fire escape door to the rear of this room leads out onto the rooftop of the kitchens and porch of the neighbouring properties to act as a fire escape in the case of emergencies only. The principal bedroom is positioned alongside, with a bathroom conveniently set just off the landing.

The top floor includes three further bedrooms arranged around the landing, each with its own shape and outlook (including one with a fire escape door out onto a spiral staircase which leads down onto the roof of the neighbouring properties kitchens and porch in case of an emergency only.) A bathroom and a separate cloakroom serve this level, making it a well-balanced layout for family living or visiting guests.

Externally: - Externally, Mallards House sits in around 0.55 acres and benefits from its own driveway accessed through the main gateway but fully separated from the neighbouring houses. The drive leads to the front of the property offering parking for around 4 vehicles. Steps lead from the drive down to a landscaped garden area, set against the backdrop of the wider grounds once belonging to the original estate. A fine tennis court lies just below the property, framed by mature planting and enjoying wonderful views towards the river. It’s a great addition for families or for those who simply enjoy being outdoors and offers a variety of uses and options. The wider outlook down to the estuary and towards the sea adds a sense of scale and history to this appealing coastal setting close to Cardigan Bay.

Mallard House offers character, flexibility and an attractive position in one of West Wales’s most admired estuary landscapes.
