Ty'r Felin, Felingwm Uchaf, Carmarthen, SA32

Set into the heart of the Tywi Valley… the so-called Garden of Wales, Tŷ’r Felin is a property of genuine rarity. A Georgian farmstead first recorded in 1766, when it was home to J. Rees Esquire, it has been transformed over the generations into an exceptional family home of considerable scale, flexibility and character. The datestone on the wall still reads as it did nearly 260 years ago. Everything behind it has been reimagined with outstanding quality and care.

What greets you first is space. An entrance hall of near-baronial proportions leads the eye through an original arched stone opening to the south, where a spectacular triple-aspect sitting room — reached by a sweeping four-step rise — commands the full theatre of the building's conversion. Herringbone oak parquet, a wood burning stove in a stone fireplace, French doors to a vast south-facing terrace. This is the room that stops every visitor in their tracks.

Six acres of grounds, a private borehole, a side wing with genuine annexe potential, a master bedroom with its own south-facing balcony, and a location that puts Carmarthen, the A40 and the M4 corridor within easy reach without sacrificing a single yard of peace or privacy. No onward chain.

The property benefits from a separate gated vehicular access opening onto the grounds, providing ample off-road parking. An existing timber-clad workshop and garden store are already in place, with further scope for garaging, a car port or additional outbuildings, subject to the necessary consents.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall

A raised step leads to a UPVC double glazed entrance door with glazed side panels, opening into one of the most impressive arrival spaces you will find in a home of this type. The entrance hall measuring a substantial 29 feet by 16 is flooded with natural light from the rooflight above and framed immediately by an original arched stone opening at its far end. A contemporary oak and glass staircase rises to the first floor to the right, while the eye is drawn forward through the building. Doors lead to all principal ground floor rooms. A storage cupboard sits to one side, and a striking piece of repurposed farm machinery, almost certainly a mill component of considerable age, hangs as a sculptural centrepiece above. Steps rise to the right toward the feature sitting room.

Music Room / Dining Room

A versatile front-aspect room with picture window, reclaimed timber flooring and ceiling with exposed beam. Currently used as a music studio, equally suited as a bedroom, home office or additional dining room.

Kitchen / Dining Room

The social heart of the house — a generous space where a comprehensive shaker kitchen with breakfast peninsula flows beneath an original oak beam into a relaxed dining area. Includes electric oven, gas hob with extractor hood, integrated dishwasher and fridge. UPVC door opens directly onto the south-facing terrace, framing views across the Tywi Valley.
