Llechryd, Cardigan, Ceredigion SA43

Handsome late Georgian country house with potential for further accommodation and over twenty acres of land.

Description
Manor Eifed is a handsome Grade II listed late Georgian country house thought to date c.1825-1835, that has been sympathetically maintained and refurbished by the current owners and offers a wealth of character features including sash windows, window shutters, part underfloor heating, ornate fireplaces and plasterwork, while at the same time providing a warm and welcoming home. The main house offers generous living accommodation set over two floors together with a useful cellar. In its grounds are two former cottages that are ripe for renovation and refurbishment, together with a useful general purpose outbuilding/workshop and garages. The property extends to about 20.8 acres and includes a pretty sweeping drive, parkland and mature woodland with a network of tracks running through it to explore and enjoy.

Accommodation Ground Floor & Cellar
An impressive portico entrance leads into the reception hall with doors leading off to the principal reception rooms. On the right is the main reception room with a wood burning stove providing a warm focal point and double aspect views across the gardens and parkland. On the left is the drawing room/office/study that also looks across the parkland. Beyond the reception hall is grand dining hall with double French doors that open out onto the side garden. Off this room is a cloakroom with shower and a staircase that leads down to the useful cellar and main staircase to the first floor. A door leads off the dining hall to the kitchen breakfast room at the rear of the house with a smart fitted kitchen, breakfast bar and a wood burning stove set in a striking inglenook fireplace. Off the kitchen is a useful pantry/boot room with door to outside courtyard.

First Floor
The staircase rises up from the dining hall, passing a stunning arched window and to a large landing area and the first floor accommodation. The principal bedroom enjoys the use of a walk-in wardrobe (or small bedroom) and views across the parkland. A second bedroom has double aspect views over the parkland and walled garden while two further bedrooms (one with an en suite bathroom) also overlook the walled garden. A family bathroom completes the floor.

Externally & The Outbuildings
The house is framed by its landscaped grounds and gardens including lawned areas, mature trees, hedges, bushes, shrubs and flower borders. A sheltered walled garden lies adjacent to the house. Off the rear courtyard are a collection of traditional buildings. There is a pretty former cottage ‘shell’ that is in need of renovation and refurbishment but would offer a charming home. Another stone barn has been converted into a cottage that also is in need of renovation and refurbishment. Opposite this is an old stone livestock barn that offers further conversion potential (stp – subject to planning). Further garages/workshops and a large general purpose outbuilding with roller doors provide ample space for the storage of vehicles, boats and hobby/project work etc. The large barn also has space for stables and animal shelter etc.

The Land
The property extends to about 20.8 acres and includes parkland and a large mature woodland with a network of tracks that run through it providing the perfect way to explore and enjoy the land. There is ample space for those that wish to keep animals (e.g. Horses, ponies, poultry, sheep etc) while the unspoilt countryside backdrop provides an idyllic nature habitat rich with wildlife. The land is perfect for those that want to enjoy walking, cycling or horse riding on their own land but it also offers a potential retreat for guests to enjoy should new owners look into potential tourism diversification etc.

Location
Manor Eifed enjoys an idyllic position on the edge of the popular village of Llechryd (just over a mile to the centre of the village with garage mini-market) that lies in the picturesque Teifi valley with its famous Teifi River.
