5 bed detached house for sale

Llanllawddog, Carmarthen SA32

Tucked away in over an acre of private mature grounds within the breathtaking 16,000-acre Brechfa Forest, Cwmere is a rare opportunity to own not just one but two exquisitely hand-crafted forest dwellings. This magical estate offers complete seclusion with no near neighbours, yet is just minutes from local amenities and major road links. Whether you're seeking a peaceful family home, a creative retreat, or an income-generating holiday let, Cwmere offers an extraordinary blend of serenity, craftsmanship, and natural beauty.

The original cottage is a warm and welcoming two-bedroom home. On the ground floor, you’ll find tiled flooring throughout, an inviting sitting room with a log burner and exposed beams, and a stylish kitchen featuring high ceilings, copper worktops, oak breakfast bar, Belfast sink, and a Rangemaster Classic 110 cooker. There’s also a well-placed bathroom and a larder. Upstairs, a beautifully hand-crafted staircase, complete with a carved forest pixie, leads to two double bedrooms. One bedroom includes built-in storage and exposed oak beams, while the second has charming external stairs made from organically carved wood. A cloakroom with copper fixtures completes the upper floor.

The barn conversion, equally impressive, offers versatile accommodation with a warm and rustic atmosphere. On the ground floor, there's a flexible space currently used as a dog grooming room – easily transformed into a third bedroom or office – along with a unique cloakroom featuring a sink made from a copper jam pan. The bespoke kitchen includes oak countertops, a breakfast bar fashioned from an antique cartwheel, and full utility connections. The spacious living room boasts a vaulted ceiling, French doors, a log burner, and underfloor heating. Internal access leads to an insulated garage and workshop with power and lighting.

Upstairs in the barn, a hand-carved staircase leads to a mezzanine landing, two charming double bedrooms, and a stylish bathroom. One bedroom features oak beams, curved wall lights, and a large forest-facing window, while the other—loved by grandchildren—has a playful circular window overlooking the living room. The bathroom includes a carved stone basin, shower, WC, and built-in storage.

The grounds are equally enchanting. Reached via a forest track and crossing a shallow ford, the property enjoys two gated entrances and ample parking. The landscaped gardens are filled with seasonal flowers, mature shrubs, and fenced areas for dogs. There’s also a charming timber-built summerhouse with power and insulation – perfect for use as a home office or creative studio. A gentle stream runs through the lower boundary of the land, and six separate gates provide direct access into the surrounding forest, offering endless opportunities for walking, mountain biking, and horse riding.

Despite its secluded setting, Cwmere is only 8 miles from Carmarthen and within easy reach of Cardigan and Carmarthen Bays. It is a true sanctuary for nature lovers, artists, families, or those seeking a more peaceful way of life.
