Rustic Period Country Farmhouse

About this property

Llansteffan 5 miles. Featured in The Times and nestled in a truly breath-taking location amidst the lush, rolling Welsh fields in Llanybri near Llansteffan in Carmarthenshire is Rustic Period Country Farmhouse. This rustic retreat is a fabulous farmhouse and is bursting with character, perfectly blending contemporary appliances and stylish decor with original features including exposed raw stone walls and slate floors throughout, oak beams, A-frames and original wooden doors. With striking views over the Laugharne estuary among green hills above the River Tywi, this holiday home is the perfect homely setting for families or friends looking to explore the wonders of South Wales with two of their beloved canine companions. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home where the gentle crackle of the woodburning stove welcomes you into the charming sitting room; unwind here on the plush sofas in front of the warming stove and Smart TV or head into the fully-equipped kitchen to help rustle up dinner. Sensitive refurbishment has revived a house that was nearly derelict years ago; now it’s fit for a country magazine shoot, where you can gather the group in the dining room to tuck into your culinary creation and raise a toast to your retreat. On warmer evenings head outside to enjoy the meal alfresco encompassed by the picturesque panoramas of the countryside, or later on, you can enjoy the sunset, followed by an evening of stargazing and admiring the skylines from the farmhouse. When the evening draws to a close choose between five beautifully-appointed bedrooms; a double completes the ground floor and two doubles and two singles are housed on the first. In the morning freshen up in the gorgeous bathroom, which is home to a deep, roll-top bathtub with picture-perfect views out to the hills for a real slice of heaven while you soak, or alternatively the ground-floor shower room, before embarking on your adventures. When you’re ready to explore, Laugharne is a must visit as it was once the hometown of famous poet Dylan Thomas. Venture out into the nearby seaside village of Llansteffan where you can stock up on all your self-catering essentials or simply enjoy a well-earned break from the kitchen at The Castle Inn. The village is also home to Llansteffan Beach, the perfect placer for you and your dog to roam while taking in the sea air and the views across the River Towy; follow the riverbank to discover the impressive 12th-century ruins of Llansteffan Castle which overlooks Bae Caerfyrddin. Carmarthen claims to being one of, if not the oldest town in Wales, can be reached just a scenic drive from the farmhouse, and is home to an array of amenities for a lovely day out, but if you are looking for more hustle and bustle, the city of Swansea is further afield and reachable by car. Although Ardderfin is a homely escape that you won’t want to leave, the property is situated almost halfway between Pembrokeshire and The Gower which offer a variety of local attractions for the perfect family days out, including Pembrey Country Park, Pendine Sands, Amroth , Saundersfoot, Tenby, The Gower, Llandeilo, Cardigan, Narberth, just to mention a few. This farmhouse is a wonderful escape from busy life or action-packed base for a variety of local attractions, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Rustic Period Country Farmhouse is truly like no other; seeing is believing!

Llansteffan is a picturesque fishing village with a post office, a general store, a pub, and delicious seafood.
