2 bed terraced bungalow for sale

Drefelin, Drefach Felindre, Llandysul SA44

Situated on the edge of the historic village of Drefach Velindre, this charming historical two-bedroom end-of-terrace wool workers cottage comes with the added benefit of a detached building with mezzanine room (formerly James Evans & Sons 1860 Blacksmiths). The property boasts delightful landscaped gardens complete with a pretty stream boundary, and generous off-road parking for 4/5 vehicles — offering the very best of rural country living. The current owners have thoughtfully renovated both cottages, revealing and retaining a wealth of original character while tastefully incorporating modern comforts. The main cottage features a stylish kitchen and bathroom that blend seamlessly with its period charm.

A stable door opens into the cottage, leading to a spectacular open-plan living room and kitchen area. With its vaulted ceiling and exposed a-frame beams, this is an inviting and characterful space. The kitchen is fitted with modern “Shaker-Style” matching wall and base units with a walk in larder, electric range oven, complemented by oak worktops with a central island and feature lighting above.

The cosy living area boasts a cast iron multi fuel stove and exposed stone wall and hearth, retaining the original wooden window shutters, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From the living room, a door leads to a bright and airy double bedroom with double aspect also retaining the original shutters.

A hallway with quarry tiled floor is utilised as a practical boot / utility room - with space and plumbing for white goods and plentiful built-in storage options. A door leads to the modern bathroom, tiled with a jacuzzi bath and twin head shower with a double glazed roof dome. At the end of the hallway is the recently added garden room, which features insulated walls, floor and ceiling, four self cleaning skylights, and windows on all sides, offering lovely views over the rear garden. This versatile room is currently used as a bedroom but could also be used for socialising or dining.

The further accommodation, known as the 'Cornerstone Smithy’, briefly comprises an open-plan living room, kitchen, and built in church pew dining area. Character features include live-edge wooden beams, a-frame ceiling beams, a wood-burning stove, and the original blacksmith’s kiln (circa 1860). The kitchen area is fitted with units and comes with built in washing machine, oven and hob. There is also a 3 piece shower room. A set of paddle stairs leads to the mezzanine floor, which is currently used as a bedroom.

The ‘Cornerstone Smithy’ benefits from its own central heating combi boiler (Although the oil tank is shared with the main cottage) and a dedicated, enclosed, low-maintenance garden, complete with a viewing hatch overlooking the stream boundary where an abundance of bird wildlife can be seen including Woodpeckers, Marsh, blue and Great tits at the feeders over the stream.

The lovely landscaped garden for the main cottage although fenced and secure, enjoys uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside, and has been thoughtfully designed by the present owners with sustainability and the natural environment at its heart. The garden features a lawned area, various seating areas including a ‘Quiet Garden’ with handcrafted benches and planters partitioned by a natural log wall. There is a decked terrace with bridge over a pond. The Wooden workshops and 25×10ft summer house come with their own electrics. There is also a delightful tree house — perfect for enjoying views over the landscape and spotting local wildlife.
