Idyllic Rural Escape – Enchanting 4-Bedroom Home with Historic Granary, Outbuildings, River Frontage & 2 Acres of Scenic Land

We are delighted to present Aberelwyn Mill, a truly captivating countryside retreat tucked beneath the majestic Preseli Hills. Set within approximately two acres of picturesque land, this unique property effortlessly blends rich history, timeless character, and exceptional potential.

The estate includes:

A generously sized four-bedroom main residence with multiple reception rooms, ideal for family living and entertaining.

A beautifully restored Malting Granary, now a self-contained one-bedroom cottage believed to date back to the 1600s—full of charm and heritage.

A garage and adjoining workshop, perfect for creative pursuits or practical storage.

A disused water mill, brimming with original features, including the waterwheel and internal machinery, offering fascinating restoration possibilities.

A two-storey outbuilding, ripe for conversion (subject to planning).

A rustic woodshed, also offering further potential for development (subject to planning).

A remarkable outbuilding thought to be the original Miller’s Cottage—a true piece of local history with inspiring renovation prospects (subject to planning).

Expansive grounds including woodland, landscaped lawns, established gardens, and enchanting river frontage along the River Taff, complete with fishing rights.

Tucked within a welcoming village community, this magical property offers a peaceful rural lifestyle while remaining just a short drive from Crymych, Cardigan, and Narberth. Nearby, the village of Llanglydwen boasts a cosy local pub, while the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and stunning local beaches are only 20 minutes away. For seaside charm and day trips, the vibrant harbour town of Tenby is just a 40-minute drive.

The Main House – Spacious and well-appointed, the principal home features a kitchen/diner, lounge, conservatory, snug, utility room, and shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms, including a master suite with en-suite, plus a family bathroom—ideal for modern family living.

The Granary Cottage – One of the property’s true jewels, the former granary is brimming with character. With original stone walls, exposed beams, and a log burner, this delightful one-bedroom cottage once served as a holiday let and would make an idyllic guest retreat, long-term rental, or private annexe.

Outbuildings & Grounds – In addition to the garage and workshop, the property boasts a selection of enchanting buildings full of potential. The historic mill, woodstore, and Miller’s Cottage offer endless possibilities for restoration or conversion (subject to planning). The land itself is a sanctuary for nature lovers—home to otters, herons, and fish, with a tranquil mix of woodland, orchard beginnings, and riverside beauty. Mature and young apple and pear trees dot the landscape, many already bearing fruit, adding to the property’s rustic charm.

A Rare Opportunity – With its rich tapestry of history, peaceful riverbank setting, enchanting wildlife, and versatile development potential, Aberelwyn Mill is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re dreaming of a family haven, creative retreat, or an escape to the country, this extraordinary property offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to embrace the very best of rural living.
