5 bed detached house for sale

Llansaint, Kidwelly SA17

Looking for a beautifully designed coastal home with flexible living and unforgettable views? This striking property in Llansaint offers sea-facing living across three floors, complete with a self-contained annex and a carefully landscaped garden setting.

Set in the coastal village of Llansaint, not far from Kidwelly and overlooking Carmarthen Bay, this is a home that quietly makes the most of its extraordinary setting. Designed around the idea of sea-facing living, the house presents flexible and adaptable space across three floors, including a self-contained annex and a layout that works for both day-to-day family life and longer-term guests. The location is striking, with views stretching from Tenby to the Gower Peninsula and as far as Lundy and Caldey Islands on a clear day. From the way the internal rooms have been arranged to how the external spaces have been landscaped, this is a house that always points back to the sea.

Approached via a private driveway, there’s parking for up to six vehicles, with a storage container currently in place offering extra outdoor space for tools or bikes. The main garden sits below, reached by a short flight of steps, and laid out with gravel and paving to create a mix of textures. Raised beds, mature shrubs and low stone walling frame the edge of the plot, creating structure without distracting from the outlook. The whole setting is framed by the open sea, which remains visible from the house, garden and decking areas.

The front door opens into a small porch area and leads directly into the main living space – a single open-plan room that brings together the kitchen, lounge and dining areas. Finished with ceramic tiles throughout, the space has a cohesive and smart feel. At the front of the living room, two large picture windows look directly out over the sea. Whether it’s sunrise over the Gower or the shifting light as the tide comes in, this outlook adds something to even the most ordinary days.

Information about the area:
Llansaint is a small village but famous for the cockles that have been harvested from Carmarthen Bay for centuries. The tradition was of women supplementing the household income by gathering by hand and then transporting the shellfish on donkeys, this only came to an end in 1973. "Any man marrying a Llansaint cockle-woman was considered a lucky man and set up for life."

To one side of the room is the kitchen area, finished with composite granite worktops, matching mirrored splashback and a central island with integrated fridge drawers and breakfast bar seating. The design is modern without feeling stark, with a stainless-steel sink and drainer, eye-level ovens and a microwave, a ceramic electric hob sits beneath an extractor hood plus space for a large American-style fridge freezer. Patio doors open onto the front decking – a practical spot for outdoor dining with the sea beyond.

From the kitchen, a door leads through to the utility room. This space is both functional and well-finished, with further base units, a double Belfast-style sink, plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, and an airing cupboard. Off the utility is a separate wet room, with shower, WC and hand basin – ideal for use after gardening or coming back from the beach. Beyond this, the rear sunroom is another bright space with bi-folding doors opening onto the garden and a separate access door leading to a small courtyard. This area creates a strong sense of indoor-outdoor flow, connecting the back of the house to its outdoor spaces and helping to spread light across the ground floor.

From the sunroom, there’s direct access to the self-contained annex. This makes it ideal for use by guests, extended family or even as a separate rental opportunity. The annex includes a double bedroom, bathroom with shower over the bath, WC and hand basin, and a small kitchen-living space. The kitchen here is compact but well set up, with base units, an integral electric oven and hob, under-counter fridge and washing machine. The annex has its own separate entrance with a walled garden space, offering a bit of privacy and independence without losing connection to the main house.

Returning to the living space, a staircase leads to the first floor. This level includes three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom 3 is currently used as a home gym and has built-in storage cupboards. Bedroom 2 is a comfortable double, with a Jack-and-Jill door leading into the family bathroom.
The bathroom is well considered and features a freestanding roll-top bath, a separate corner shower, WC and hand basin. The layout has been designed to balance visual style with daily practicality, with the link between bedroom 2 and the landing giving options depending on how the space is being used.

At the front of the first floor sits the master bedroom, positioned to maximise the sea views. Full-height glazed doors open onto a Juliette balcony, while the sleeping space leads into a walk-through dressing area and then into an en suite bathroom. The en suite is a highlight of the property, finished with a walk-in double shower and a deep freestanding bath. Again, it’s the balance of views, function and atmosphere that stands out.

From the landing, a second staircase leads up to the top floor. This space is arranged as a suite – an open-plan area with a lounge space, sleeping zone and private bathroom. A full-height glazed apex window sits at the front, facing out to sea, with additional Velux windows drawing in natural light from above. The en suite bathroom has a double shower, WC and hand basin, and there’s under-eaves storage built in. This level offers plenty of flexibility, whether used for older children, guests, home working or simply kept as a private space.

Externally

Outside, the garden has been arranged to create distinct spaces that all keep the focus on the outlook. There’s timber decking off the main living area, another decked zone in the garden, a lawn, planted beds and a feature pond. A garden workshop/shed and a summer house with electric offer further options for storage, hobbies or home working. There’s also a standing stone set in the lawn – a subtle yet characterful addition that links the garden to the wider landscape. The annex has its own entrance and garden space, enclosed by stone walling and a timber gate. It feels tucked away without being disconnected, ideal for anyone wanting some independence.

Throughout the house, the design has been guided by the view. The use of glazing, the positioning of rooms, and the finish of the internal and external spaces all support that. Yet at the same time, it remains practical and considered – the kind of home that adapts with its occupants, with space for work, guests, family and more. The location in West Wales means the coast is always on hand, while the position in Llansaint brings the feel of village life. It’s a corner of Carmarthenshire that still feels like a bit of a secret, but one that delivers something genuinely special – coastal living with space to breathe and room to grow. Llansaint itself offers a blend of rural village life and proximity to both Kidwelly and the Carmarthenshire coastline.
