2 bedroom cottage for sale

Looking for a charming former Gate Keeper's Lodge with character features, no onward chain, mature gardens and a small woodland setting, all within easy reach of the coast of Cardigan Bay in West Wales? This quirky two-bedroom home, set in around 0.58 acres near Tanygroes, offers a lovely mix of period detail, practical living space and a setting that feels connected to the surrounding countryside while being close to a bus route and local shop.

Set within what was once part of the Tyllwyd estate, this former lodge house has a distinctive look from the outset, with its stone façade, arched windows and traditional proportions giving it a real sense of history. The setting plays a big part in its appeal too, positioned along a shared private track just off the B4333, with open surroundings and views stretching out towards the Preseli Hills.

The main entrance opens straight into the living space, which is a particularly characterful room. A wood burning stove sits within an exposed stone fireplace on a slate hearth, creating a strong focal point, while the arched windows bring in good natural light and add to the overall feel of the space. The layout here flows naturally through into the kitchen, with a breakfast bar subtly dividing the two areas without closing them off.

The kitchen itself is practical and well laid out, with a range of matching wall and base units, built-in electric oven and hob, and space for everyday use. The window position keeps it bright, and there is a useful storage cupboard tucked away for added convenience.

From the side hallway, there is access to further accommodation arranged in a simple and functional layout. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, along with a WC and wash hand basin, and continues the theme of natural light seen throughout the property. Bedroom one is a comfortable double, positioned to take advantage of windows to both the side and rear, giving it a light and airy feel.

Details Continued: - Back through the kitchen, a door leads into the utility room, which is a really useful addition. This space includes further units, a sink and drainer, and houses the recently installed oil-fired Worcester boiler. A stable door opens out to the rear, making it practical for day-to-day living. From here, there is access to a separate WC and the second bedroom, which works well as either a smaller double or a generous single, again with dual aspect windows.

Outside: - Outside, the grounds extend to around 0.58 acres and offer a mix of garden and natural space. To the front and side, there is off-road parking on a gravelled area with scope to extend if needed. The garden wraps around the property, with lawned sections, mature hedging and a variety of planting that gives it a slightly informal, established feel.

To the rear, a small courtyard area provides a more contained outdoor space, along with a useful storage container for tools and equipment. Beyond this, the grounds open out into a small woodland area, currently left in a natural state. This adds a different dimension to the property, offering potential for further landscaping or simply as a space to enjoy as it is.

The location works well for access to the wider area, with the A487 within easy reach and the coastline of Cardigan Bay just a short drive away. Nearby villages and towns provide everyday amenities, while the surrounding countryside offers plenty of options for walking and exploring.

Overall, this is a property that stands out for its character, setting and manageable scale. It feels well suited to those looking for something a little different, with outdoor space and a connection to the landscape that is often hard to find in more conventional homes.
