5 bed farm for sale

Cardigan, Ceredigion SA43

Looking for a characterful home with business potential near Cardigan Bay?
This handsome Victorian house offers over 9 acres of land in West Wales, with a well-established caravan site, charming original features, and several outbuildings with future possibilities (subject to planning).

This property is a fine example of a late Victorian house, sitting in around 9.2 acres of varied land that includes gardens, pasture fields, and a well-laid-out caravan & camping site. Tucked just off the A487, not far from Cardigan Bay, the property has a lovely blend of traditional character and practical space, with scope for a lifestyle change, smallholding or tourism-based business.

The main house spans three storeys and offers a layout that works well for families, visiting guests or a home-working setup. It’s full of original details – from encaustic tiled floors to fireplaces, decorative coving, ceiling roses, and solid timber doors – all of which create a timeless atmosphere.

Ground Floor Accommodation
The entrance hallway sets the tone, with a traditional encaustic tiled floor and original staircase. There are several living areas, each with their own feel. The lounge and music room both look to the front and offer beautiful original fireplaces and period features. The sitting room, with its open “Chattanette” fire and quarry tiled floor, is a cosy spot connecting to the sunroom and the heart of the home – the kitchen.

The kitchen is spacious and functional with country-style cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a range cooker set into a characterful inglenook. The sunroom, which runs across the front and side of the house, brings in natural light through stained glass topped windows and adds a touch of flexibility to the downstairs space. There’s also a separate study, WC, coat cupboard, and handy porch area for muddy boots and coats.

First And Second Floors:

Upstairs, the first floor hosts four well-sized bedrooms, most with decorative fireplaces and timber floors. A shower room, with shower, wc and wash hand basin and a further traditional-style family bathroom with brass fittings and a separate tiled shower cubicle sits alongside them. The second floor provides a fifth bedroom with lovely character beams and a quirky L-shaped layout. There’s also a third bathroom, which, while modest in ceiling height, is thoughtfully fitted and perfect for guest use.

Outside And Outbuildings

The main house is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway from the main road, offering a strong sense of arrival. There’s ample parking around the house itself, alongside a play area bordered by a low brick wall, which could be redesigned as a formal garden space.

To the side stands the original cowshed – a stone-built structure with clear potential for holiday accommodation, subject to necessary consents. The detached double garage is another versatile asset, with a spacious loft room above, power and lighting already in place, and external access via a staircase. Again, there’s potential here for office space or additional guest accommodation (STP). Access to one of the paddocks runs alongside both these buildings making it easy to get horses in and out should you decide to convert the stone barn into stables.

The garden areas offer a good mix of lawn and established beds, with space for families, dogs, or growing produce. The duck pond adds charm and a sense of life to the land, while an orchard and vegetable beds sit towards the outer edges.

The Caravan Site:

Set slightly beyond the main house, with its own access off the initial main entrance, and screened from the gardens, is the caravan and camping site. Originally a certified Caravan & Camping Club site, it has been in place since around 2009/2010. The certification has lapsed but could potentially be reinstated if desired. The setup includes:

* 14 hardstanding pitches with electric hook-ups
* 8 tent pitches with electric access
* Two timber-built glamping pods
* A Shepherd’s Hut (available by separate negotiation)
* Shower block with separate facilities for men and women (two showers and toilets each)
* Outdoor washing-up area
* Chemical waste disposal point

The site has been well thought out, with room for expansion and an existing infrastructure that allows immediate use. Whether continuing as a modest site or developing it further, the opportunity is ready and waiting.

For anyone looking to balance a rural lifestyle with income generation or flexible living arrangements, this property has plenty to offer.
