About the Property
Tucked into the end of a no-through road right by the entrance to the castle, this character cottage stands with a real sense of place. From the outside, stone walls and slate paving echo the historic landscape it sits in, with the castle just beyond the gate and castle views visible from both the garden and the windows inside.
The cottage is detached and has a stone-walled garden to one side, while a short walk up the road leads to a detached garage, complete with a spacious studio workshop with plenty of natural light, and a further enclosed garden space behind. Whether it’s growing veg, working on a project in the studio/workshop or just sitting with a cuppa and a castle view in the background, there’s a lot of flexibility here.
The front door opens into an inner porch, which gives a bit of space to shake off coats and boots before going through a curved, part-glazed wooden door, which the owners have informed us came from Eton, where a relative worked and was said to be made from ship timbers that apparently came from King Henry’s fleet. Inside is the lounge-diner, which has plenty of character on show. The dining area has slate flooring and exposed stonework, with a feature stone fireplace that gives the room its central focus. Just across the open-plan space, the lounge area has wood-effect laminate flooring, another stone fireplace with a log burner set on a slate hearth, and more exposed stone across the walls. A few carved wooden panels, which the owners believe originated from Eton, add an extra layer of detail, offering something that really sets this cottage apart.
Castle views are visible from the dining room window, bringing the outside into the everyday. Whether it’s a morning coffee or a late supper, the changing light on the stone outside gives the room a constant sense of connection with its surroundings.

Property Details
Continued;
Just off the dining space, a doorway leads into the galley kitchen. It’s a practical, functional layout with a range of base and wall units, a one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer, and a mix of flooring that includes slate and some striking hexagonal quarry tiles. There’s an electric oven and hob, as well as built-in storage cupboards tucked away on one side. In the kitchen is a spiral staircase, leading to the first floor, and a door off to the utility room.
The utility room itself is straightforward and useful, with space and plumbing for a washing machine, a stainless steel sink and drainer, and a door that opens straight out into the walled garden. The slate-paved garden here is private, enclosed by stone walls, and framed by mature shrubs and a few feature trees. A lean-to at the edge of the garden gives extra storage and space for firewood, keeping things tidy but close at hand.
Back inside, the spiral staircase takes the route up to the first-floor landing. At the top, the layout opens into a larger-than-expected area that could easily work as a small sitting space, a quiet place to read, or even a work-from-home set-up. There’s a storage cupboard here as well, and the views over the castle continue from this level, giving the space a visual link to the setting below.
From this main landing, a door leads through to the bathroom. Recently updated, the bathroom includes a bath, a separate corner shower, a toilet, and a sink, all set within a calm, clean-lined layout that makes the most of the available space.
Two steps up from the landing, take the route to the rear section of the first floor, where both bedrooms are located. The main bedroom is a double, with a built-in storage cupboard and a window that once again frames those views of the castle. The second bedroom is L-shaped and currently set up with two single beds, making it flexible for guests, kids, or extra office space if needed. It also includes a built-in cupboard, keeping the floor space usable.
Externally;
Up the road a short distance, past the castle entrance, is the detached garage and workshop. With an up-and-over main garage door, there’s plenty of space for parking or working on a project. A separate personnel door opens into a dedicated workshop area with power and lighting. This room has plenty of windows giving it lots of natural light, and there’s a separate WC here too. There’s also loft access for additional storage, keeping things functional and flexible. From the rear of the studio workshop, a door opens into a second garden space – the cottage garden.
This enclosed garden has a real practical appeal. It’s gated and has a greenhouse, raised vegetable beds, and a paved path along one side for easier access. For anyone wanting to grow their own, keep things a bit separate, or just enjoy some time outdoors with a task at hand, it adds an extra layer to the lifestyle the cottage offers.
The overall layout of the garage and studio workshop is extremely practical – separate zones that give flexibility for work, storage, gardening, or relaxing, and those ever-present views of the castle bringing in a sense of place that’s hard to match.
Set in West Wales and not far from the coast, the location is another part of the draw here. Cardigan Bay is just a short drive away, with beaches and coastal walks within easy reach. This place fits the kind of pace where things are a little more grounded, a little more hands-on, and where the view from the window really counts.
