3 bedroom detached house for sale

Looking for a character Welsh stone cottage with generous accommodation, stunning views, solar panels and additional cabins set within a valley setting in West Wales? Pencarniced combines original features, flexible living space and terraced gardens with countryside views, within reach of Cardigan Bay and nearby market towns.

Pencarniced is a characterful detached Welsh stone cottage dating back to around 1870, set within the Cerdyn Valley countryside of West Wales. Originally two separate cottages that were carefully combined, the property now offers generous, flexible accommodation while retaining the features that give it real identity, including exposed stonework, timber beams, quarry-tiled floors and a traditional Welsh slate roof.

The approach leads to parking for two vehicles at the front, along with a small seating area, log store, bike shed and side access to the rear garden. Five solar panels are fitted to both roof pitches (10 in total), owned outright and providing quarterly FIT payments.

A stable door opens into a spacious entrance hall, a practical and well-used area with floor-to-ceiling pine cupboards providing excellent storage. A secondary staircase rises from the hall, with built-in storage beneath and a tall "Crittall" style window drawing in natural light and views across the valley.

The main living room sits at the heart of the cottage and immediately shows off the building’s origins. Quarry-tiled flooring, exposed stone walls and a vaulted ceiling give the room real depth, while a substantial fireplace houses a multi-fuel stove with a split saddle boiler supplying the central heating and hot water system. A long, metal-framed "Crittall" style window frames views across the surrounding countryside, and double-glazed French doors open directly to the garden and steps leading outside.

Details Contiued: - The kitchen is open-plan to the living room, creating a sociable layout that works particularly well for everyday living. Finished with quarry tiles, the kitchen includes a stainless-steel sink and drainer, an electric oven with gas hob, space for a washing machine and extensive storage. A two-door pantry provides room for a fridge, freezer and additional appliances, and a breakfast bar subtly separates the kitchen from the living space. Stable doors open to the front of the property, where log and bike storage are positioned, and a front-facing window looks out across the valley.

One of the cottage’s bedrooms is accessed via a wooden staircase from the living room. This double room features sloping ceilings, exposed beams, pine floorboards and a front-facing dormer window with views towards the River Cerdyn and surrounding countryside.

The bathroom sits on the ground floor and is well-proportioned, fitted with a bath and both stove-powered and electric showers, WC, wash basin, wall-mounted radiator and shelving. A steel-framed window, cork-tiled flooring and exposed ceiling beams reflect the character seen throughout the house.

A particularly flexible part of the accommodation is the additional reception room, currently used as a sitting room/storage with a step down to a separate office area/sunroom. This space offers a range of options, whether as a sitting room, fourth bedroom or workspace. Pine floorboards, a wall-mounted radiator and a fireplace recess with closed chimney (perfect for installing a log burner with flu if needed) and steps lead down to the sunroom which is complemented by windows on multiple sides in the office area, all taking in open countryside views.

Two further double bedrooms are located on the upper level, both with sloping ceilings, exposed beams, pine flooring and dormer windows. One bedroom enjoys front-facing views across the valley, while the other looks to the rear, offering a different aspect over the gardens and woodland beyond. Bedroom 2 houses the solar panels invertor and the hot water tank.

Externally: - Outside, the rear gardens are a real feature of Pencarniced. Set across three terraced levels and backing directly onto woodland, with stunning views to the front over the valley, the grounds offer a good sense of privacy and variety. The woodland behind the garden is known locally for bluebells in the spring months. Steps from the side of the cottage provide an alternative access route to the rear garden, where two additional garden sheds are located.

Within the grounds are two timber summer houses/log cabins, both positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding countryside and views. The first cabin includes a veranda on three sides, a log burner, timber flooring and electricity and lighting, making it well suited as a studio or occasional accommodation. To the side (between the two cabins) is a long-drop toilet, The second cabin includes a single veranda, a workshop area with kitchen and shower facilities, and is fully serviced with water, electricity and lighting. Windows on all sides create a bright interior and maintain strong visual links with the landscape.

Overall, Pencarniced offers a well-balanced mix of period character, adaptable accommodation and outdoor space, set within a part of West Wales that remains well connected to towns, schools and the coastline. Viewing is recommended to appreciate how the spaces work together and the setting that surrounds the cottage.
