Felin Ban Farm Estate, Cardigan SA43

Looking for a character-filled barn conversion in West Wales with space to grow, wildlife-rich grounds and easy access to Cardigan Bay? This distinctive home offers over two acres of gardens, orchard, paddock and pond, just a mile from Cardigan’s bustling market town.

A rare opportunity has come to market in the form of this character-filled barn conversion, part of the historic Felin Ban Farm Estate in West Wales. Combining privacy with practicality, the house is set within over two acres of gardens and land that bring together mature planting, productive growing spaces, wildlife habitats, and plenty of scope for further ideas. Just a mile from Cardigan town centre and within walking distance of the Cardigan Bay coastline, it blends rural calm with everyday convenience.

The approach alone sets the scene. A private bridge crossing the Mwldan River, shared with only five neighbours, leads to a gated entrance with private driveway. Mature trees, sweeping lawns, and a wildlife pond framed by a graceful weeping willow create a countryside idyll just a mile from Cardigan’s bustling shops, schools, and cafés.

The barn conversion itself carries warmth and character. Timber beams, stonework, and vaulted ceilings run throughout, while practical touches make the house easy for family living. From the front porch, a broad hallway with galleried landing overhead creates an immediate sense of openness. At the far end, the lounge is a welcoming focal point with wood-panelling, a stone fireplace, and wood-burning stove, with sliding doors to the rear garden and direct access into the conservatory. This conservatory, with tiled flooring and open views across the pond, provides a light-filled extension of the living space.

Details Continued:

Alongside, a study with parquet flooring doubles as a library, offering a flexible area for work or reading. The farmhouse kitchen is fitted with solid units and includes both a gas-fired aga range for heating and cooking as well as an additional aga cooker. A dishwasher can be fitted with ease, and a gas boiler provides efficient hot water and heating. From here, a utility room and adjoining garden room provide further practicality, including space for freezers, tiled flooring, storage, and housing for the solar power battery and meter.

Also on the ground floor is the main bedroom. Generous in scale and complete with built-in storage, exposed beams, and its own en-suite bathroom, it adds convenience and comfort. The en-suite includes a shower, twin vanity basins, WC, and bidet. A further WC is also located on this floor.

The first floor holds plenty of flexibility, with four bedrooms arranged around the galleried landing. The largest bedroom offers scope for a private en-suite if required, while two further doubles and a single make it well-suited for family or guests. The family bathroom includes a bath with shower over, WC, and wash basin. Storage is ample, with cupboards and under-eaves areas making use of every corner.

Externally:

The two-acre grounds are a highlight in themselves. The pond and weeping willow create a striking front garden feature, while lawns sweep around to the front, side and rear where a productive vegetable garden takes shape. Raised beds, a greenhouse, and sheds provide all that is needed for growing, while beehives dotted around the site add to the biodiversity. Beyond the cultivated sections, paths wander through rewilded areas where pollinators thrive. Tiered ground at the rear holds a former paddock, now adding to the land’s versatility.

Additional features include a timber-clad cabin with two rooms, complete with power and lighting, ideal for hobbies, studio space, or home working. A private pump house with uv filtration supplies spring-fed water to this property and five others, underlining the sense of self-sufficiency.

Mature trees, orchard planting, and natural boundaries enhance both privacy and character, creating a countryside idyll without isolation. Cardigan’s supermarkets, schools, shops, and cafés are within a mile, while the coastline of Cardigan Bay offers beaches, coastal paths, and wildlife within easy reach.

This is more than just a home – it’s a lifestyle opportunity. Whether you’re seeking; a smallholding in West Wales, a family home with land; a character property with development potential; or simply a peaceful retreat close to the sea, this unique barn conversion offers it all. With land, privacy, wildlife, and space to grow, it is a rare find in a truly sought-after location.
