Llanychaer, SA65

Nestled on the side of the beautiful Preseli Mountains is this remarkable Pembrokeshire smallholding. Garn Madoc is accessed off a peaceful country lane and is surrounded by approximately eleven acres of its own land. The main home is a traditional three-bedroom stone farmhouse dating back hundreds of years. The original building was extended in the 1920s, with this part of the home enjoying stunning views down the valley and out to sea. In addition to the main home, there are three self-contained cottages, created out of converted stone outbuildings. There is also an additional stone barn with full planning permission for conversion, along with numerous large agricultural outbuildings. This charming residence is moments from the coast and midway between the towns of Fishguard and Newport. Offering superb rural privacy, this exciting opportunity is ideal for any buyer looking for a complete lifestyle home.

Entering the main home from the front, you arrive in the 1920s entrance hallway with its beautiful quarry tile floor. There are doors to both sides, the one on the right leading into a very useful utility and boot room, and the one on the left leading into the charming sitting room with its wood-burning stove and sea views. The hall continues to the rear, where it enters the original stone farmhouse. This charming semi-open-plan space is the perfect hub for the owners and their family and offers enough space for a seating and separate dining area, which has a door to the outside. The kitchen is found off this space, as the original walls have been opened up to form a countertop and breakfast bar. The kitchen offers a large, bright space with plenty of cabinetry and workspace. Completing the accommodation on this level is a rear hall with a shower room opening off it. Proceeding up to the first floor, you find two good-sized double bedrooms at the front of the home, both enjoying spectacular sea views to the fore. The master bedroom suite is found to the rear of the home, with a large dressing room and an en-suite shower room being the first spaces you come to. Passing through the dressing room, you arrive in the main bedroom area, which benefits from beautiful, exposed stonework and beams in the roof above.

Across the farmyard, you find a run of stone outbuildings, two of which have been beautifully converted to provide wonderful self-contained accommodation. Sheep Cottage offers one/two bedrooms and a superb open-plan living space. Next door, Stable Cottage offers two double bedrooms to the rear, along with a similarly impressive living space to its neighbour. Both cottages enjoy private courtyard gardens to the rear. Next door to Stable Cottage is another outbuilding which has full residential planning permission for conversion. To the rear of the main home, you find another wonderful conversion, Maid’s Cottage. This delightfully cosy studio space has one bathroom and a private courtyard to the fore and is packed with character.

Externally, Garn Madoc sits in approximately eleven acres of fields and paddocks, the majority of which enjoy superb sea and rural views. There are gardens and seating areas surrounding the buildings, with a productive orchard and vegetable garden to the rear of one of the agricultural buildings. The huge range of outbuildings at Garn Madoc is another great selling point, with a fabulous array of barns, workshops and stabling all in place. There are two mezzanine spaces above the barns, perfect as offices or studios.

For all its rural seclusion and privacy the property is a short distance from the towns of Fishguard and Newport with a range of shops, schooling and transport links within easy reach.

For those looking for a home that combines all the traditional charm and character of a Pembrokeshire farmhouse with the complete lifestyle change that the outbuildings and cottages offer, Garn Madoc should be essential viewing. Watching the sun set over the stunning coastline or rise over the majestic hills from this remarkable home is an opportunity that should not be missed.
