About the Property
Looking for a character-filled home with panoramic countryside views and scope for a self-contained annex? This historic property above the Teifi River offers original features, five en-suite/wc bedrooms, generous parking and garden space, and the option to secure an additional plot by separate negotiation.
Set high above the Teifi River, with far-reaching views across the West Wales countryside, this is a property with a real sense of history, which has been extended over the years. Full of character, charm and practical space, it combines the warmth of original features with the flexibility of a layout that includes a potential annex, perfect for extended family, multigenerational living or as a separate unit. Only a short drive to the university town of Lampeter and its amenities and less than half an hour’s drive from Aberaeron and the coastline of Cardigan Bay, West Wales.
From the parking area, a short path leads to the front door, via a traditional rose arch and flowering borders that give a real sense of arrival. The front area is a natural spot for sitting out on a sunny morning — a pretty space with open skies and gentle light. Once inside, the entrance hall forms the central point of the house, with double doors through to the lounge, a door into the kitchen/diner, and stairs rising to the first floor.
The kitchen/diner has been tastefully updated over the years, blending modern function with exposed stone walls and period character. A wood-burning stove sits proudly within a wide fireplace with slate hearth, and there’s plenty of space for a dining table. Matching wall and base units run along two sides, with a sink and drainer, space left for an electric cooker and undercounter appliances. A handy pantry cupboard keeps everything tucked away, and a door opens to the rear yard.
- Character detached home with original features and exposed stonework throughout
- Five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite/WC
- Separate garden section available by negotiation (£10,000)
- Annex potential with wheelchair accessibility and separate entrance
- Elevated position with stunning countryside views over the Teifi River
- Air source heating & solar panels
- Wood burner in Kitchen, Lounge with inglenook fireplace (closed off but restorable)
- Detached garage, workshop, and sheds all with power and lighting
- Only 2.2 miles from Lampeter town.

Property Details
Details Continued:
The lounge stretches across the other side of the house, with solid wood flooring and sliding patio doors that open the room to the view to the front. A blocked inglenook fireplace, currently out of use, sits to one side and could easily be reinstated if desired, offering another opportunity to bring more of the building’s history into daily life. From here, double doors open to the annex potential, making it easy to use this additional space as part of the main house or as its own independent section.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms — three comfortable doubles and one that would work equally well as a large single or small double. Each has its own en-suite. The en-suite in bedroom one enjoys a bath, while bedrooms two and four have showers. Bedroom three features a built-in shower and hand basin within the bedroom itself, with a separate WC. Bedrooms to the front enjoy the best of the countryside views, looking out across rolling fields and valleys, while the rear-facing bedroom has its own green outlook over open farmland.
Annex Potential:
The annex space is accessed either through the lounge or via its own ramped entrance from outside. Designed with accessibility in mind, it has wide doorways, a wheelchair-friendly wet room, and easy, level access throughout. The kitchen area — currently used as a utility room — is already fitted with base and wall units, a sink with drainer, and space for both an electric cooker and undercounter white goods. A rear door, with ramp, leads out to the yard, while an internal door connects with the lounge.
The annex sitting room is a lovely space, with a feature corner window that draws in the views and natural light. There’s enough room here to furnish as a cosy sitting room without compromising on practicality. The annex bedroom (bedroom 5) is a generous double with French doors opening to the back of the house — ideal for fresh air and direct access outside via a ramp. The adjoining wet room completes this section, offering a well-considered and functional layout.
Externally:
Outside, the gravelled driveway to one side of the house offers parking for four vehicles and leads to a detached single garage. The garage has an up-and-over door, power and lighting, and a set of outdoor sockets — useful for garden equipment or vehicle charging. A wood store sits just behind.
The rear of the property is split between a courtyard-style yard and a second, private gravelled area with a wooden shed and a workshop — both with power and lighting. These spaces offer options for storage, hobbies or working from home, and are neatly enclosed by a low retaining wall.
ADDITIONAL LAND BY SEPATE NEGOTIATION: From the gravel area, a gate leads to a separate piece of land that has been used for over 20 years by the current owners with the agreement of a neighbouring farmer. Though not included in the sale, this land is available to purchase by separate negotiation for £10,000. It’s split into two garden areas, with lawn, mature planting and far-reaching views across the valley to the Teifi River. One section contains an old disused chicken coop, and the other is dotted with well-established plants. The setting here is exceptional — the kind of place that makes time slow down, with light, space and that wide West Wales landscape always just within reach.
The property is located within easy reach of Cardigan Bay, bringing both the coastline and countryside into play. It’s a solid, substantial building with deep roots, thoughtfully adapted to meet modern needs while keeping its historical character intact. Whether used as a family home, a multi-unit space, or something else entirely, there’s scope here to make it work in more ways than one.
