Contemporary styling adds sophistication to this Grade II-listed gatehouse, which boasts two king-size bedrooms and a beautiful garden complete with a games room and hot tub. Enjoy walks from the doorstep and explore the West Wales countryside and coast – Cardigan is just 7.5 miles away.
Famous for its remarkable shell-covered grotto, the historic Cilwendeg Estate covers 350 acres of beautiful countryside between the villages of Boncath and Newchapel. Within 200 metres of the latter, this pretty detached property bursts with charm, its handsome entrance enhanced by classical columns and arched windows to each side. Step inside and the lounge is full of natural light, with an inviting sofa, a wood burner and a Smart TV. Budding chefs will be inspired by the contemporary kitchen/diner that houses all the must-haves of home and is complemented by a handy utility room. An elegant shower room completes the ground-floor layout, while the first floor features two enticing king-size bedrooms. Make the most of your countryside location in the large, enclosed garden where the lawn is perfect for garden games and the patio provides a perfect spot for al fresco food and drinks. Chill out in the hot tub, which is sheltered overhead for all-year appeal, or let off steam in the external games room – with table tennis and table football, it’s a great play-space for all ages.
Private parking for two cars means you can enjoy walks from your doorstep – there are footpaths around the estate, and Newchapel’s friendly inn is just up the road. Must-see sites while you’re here include the Cilwendeg Shell House Hermitage and the National Trust’s Cilgerran Castle (4 miles), a 13th-century fortress overlooking the spectacular Teifi Gorge. Market town Cardigan sits near the coast and is home to another ancient castle; beyond, Poppit Sands Beach (10 miles) is popular for water sports and wildlife-watching.
