Description

Tucked into a peaceful semi-rural setting on the edge of the village of Cwrtnewydd, Yr Aber is a genuinely characterful country cottage that has been thoughtfully and comprehensively refurbished — offering the charm of a period stone-and-slate home with none of the compromise on comfort.

The accommodation opens through a welcoming reception hall into a spacious living room, warmed by a cast iron multi-fuel stove and finished with oak-effect flooring and an oak beam room divider that creates a snug, versatile corner ideal as a home office. Beyond, the kitchen/diner is a real showpiece: a bespoke painted pine kitchen with oak worktops sits alongside a striking green oak-framed dining area, where vaulted ceilings and full-width bi-fold doors frame uninterrupted views over the gardens — a wonderful space to cook, entertain, and simply enjoy the setting, whatever the season.

A ground floor bedroom with its own en-suite offers flexible living for multi-generational households or single-storey guest accommodation, while upstairs two further well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a brand new designer family bathroom finished in brushed gold.

Outside is where Yr Aber truly comes into its own. The gardens extend to approximately one acre, bordered by a gently flowing stream on one side and mature woodland on the other — a genuine sense of peace and seclusion, with level, useable grounds that would lend themselves equally to keen gardeners, small-scale animal keeping, or simply relaxing. A well-established vegetable garden, fruit beds and a 35' x 12' polytunnel support a self-sufficient lifestyle, while a purpose-built barbecue and pizza oven make for memorable outdoor entertaining. A traditional stone barn, currently used as a workshop, offers further potential for conversion or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

Located within easy reach of the university town of Lampeter (approx. 6 miles), the market town of Llanybydder (approx. 5 miles), and the Cardigan Bay coastline at New Quay and Aberaeron (approx. 12 miles), Yr Aber offers a rare combination of rural tranquility and everyday convenience.

A property of real character that will appeal to buyers seeking a genuine lifestyle change — early viewing is strongly recommended.

Property Features

Accessibility
Ask Agent
Parking
A gated, gravelled driveway provides ample parking and turning space. Note: a neighbour holds a pedestrian right of way along the side boundary via a separate gate, which does not infringe on the property itself.
Garden
Approximately 1 acre in all, bordering a gently flowing stream to one side and mature woodland to the other — genuinely peaceful and private. The grounds include a well-stocked vegetable and fruit garden, a 35' x 12' polytunnel with potting shed and store shed, a purpose-built barbecue area with pizza oven, and a handmade covered terrace built from the surrounding woodland. The level, useable garden would also suit those looking to keep animals or create manageable paddocks, and benefits from its own gated road access to the rear.
