9 bedroom detached house for sale

An 8 acre holding, formerly run as a guest house, providing accommodation suitable for 2 families or as a guest house (or both) and including a range of traditional stone outbuildings. The property is just a mile from the sea and just off the beaten track. The land includes 2 large ponds and the whole offers tons of potential for a number of business opportunities, a real chance to change your lifestyle!

This started out life as a farm, but in the 1970s was extended with a complete new wing to provide suitable accommodation for a guest house. The current owners have continued running the property as guest house, but it is now for sale as a substantial private residence. Whilst it would provide 2 large houses for an extended family or perhaps two families buying together, in truth there would probably be room to accommodate two families and still have rooms to let, providing an instant income.

The outbuildings also have plenty of potential. Subject to consent, these could be converted to holiday accommodation, or perhaps to craft workshops / craft outlet. The whole establishment could equally be converted to a conference centre with classrooms and accommodation.

With 8 acres including 2 lakes, the land only adds to the possibilities. This could be worked as a smallholding, maybe with a fishery or perhaps you fancy a Caravan Club Licensed Site for 5 tourers and a few tents.

If you are looking for an opportunity to change your lifestyle, then you need to come and look at this property.

We are advised that the vendors are prepared to sell all of the furniture in the letting rooms. An inventory is available. This would allow you to move in and start a business virtually from day one.

Externally

The property sits beside a minor lane just a mile or so outside the popular seaside village of Aberporth with its two beaches. A driveway leads off the road into a courtyard to the front of the property.

To the front of the original house there is a large terrace, suitable for enjoying a glass of wine or a barbecue in the evening sun.

The Buildings

There are two ranges of traditional stone buildings around the main courtyard. The first range measures approx. 28m x 5m externally and is divided into 5. One room has been renovated to create a studio / office whilst the others are used as storage, tack room, chicken shed and stable.

The second range is ‘L’ shaped and consists of a number of larger areas including 2 garage / workshops, implement store with loft over, model railway room, further garage and lean-to on the rear for livestock. One arm of this range measures approx. 15.5m x 5.8m, the other measures 22m x 7.3m

A further small outbuilding stands off the courtyard and includes original pig sties complete with slate dividing walls, and an outhouse containing pump / filter equipment for the water supply.

To the rear of the property stands a static caravan. This is connected to services and is let out by the current vendors. It stands in a lawned garden.

The Land

In all, the land extends to some 8 acres and consists of mainly flat / gently sloping pasture. Within the land stand two large ponds / small lakes. These would be ideal for stocking with fish. The vendors have also planted a young orchard, which could be easily extended to include soft fruit as well.

Additional land (up to 10 acres) is available by separate negotiation.

Services

Mains electricity is connected. Private water and drainage. Oil-fired central heating.
