Full description
A property that, upon approach immediately captures your heart with it’s stunningly beautiful setting! Electric gates open to reveal the most tranquil, idyllic countryside scene with impressively landscaped gardens as well as a home that has the aesthetic charm of traditional Welsh farmhouse nestled into the grounds surrounded by pretty outbuildings with a stream gurgling alongside. The Quay was once a very small cottage with 2 up and 2 down built between 1850 - 1860, renovated and extended by the current owners family in the early 1980’s. Tucked into a private and peaceful countryside setting just outside the village of Clarbeston Road the home provides generous living space with scope for development that could see a contemporary layout that includes a large open plan kitchen/dining room, glazed areas that would showcase the stunning gardens and stream as well as scope for the development of the numerous outbuildings into holiday lets.
The farmhouse kitchen and breakfast room extend to small porch with a side entrance and door to a utility room/toilet. An open plan dining room with lofted ceiling rising to reveal a galleried landing also features an impressive, locally made stained glass window that catches the light from the afternoon and evening sun, stepping down to a spacious sitting room with a large stone fireplace. There are four bedrooms and a large family bathroom upstairs accessed from the galleried landing, The property has extensive grounds extending to nearly 1.5 acres with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the carefully created points of beauty in seating areas sited around the lawns, gardens, pond and pretty stream that runs through the property.
Several architectural features sourced at the Chelsea Flower Show add significant points of interest and beauty, with the pond and stream attracting a plethora of wild birds that include Kingfishers, Herons, and Woodpeckers along with a chorus of frogs! Outdoor entertainment areas include a covered breakfast terrace, benches to sit a while and enjoy the sounds and sights of nature, tractor seats positioned by the pond and stream as well as the Woodpecker Walk over an old timber bridge to former woodland walks.
