Pengelly, Llangwyryfon - A Traditional Welsh Farmhouse with Extensive Outbuildings and Approximately 0.75 Acres

Set within approximately 0.75 acres of established grounds, Pengelly is an attractive three-bedroom stone farmhouse offering spacious accommodation, extensive outbuildings and excellent scope for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle. Situated in the Ceredigion countryside, approximately nine miles from Aberystwyth, the property enjoys a tranquil setting while remaining within reach of nearby villages, the coast and principal road connections. The property benefits from solar photovoltaic panels, providing a renewable source of electricity.

The farmhouse retains many traditional features, including exposed stonework, timber detailing, substantial fireplaces and two multi-fuel stoves. An enclosed entrance porch leads into the spacious farmhouse kitchen and dining room, which features a stone fireplace, timber panelling and ample space for family dining. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units and includes a Neff induction hob and oven.

The separate sitting room provides a welcoming place to relax, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, original bread ovens and a quarry-tiled hearth. A utility area, rear entrance hall and ground-floor cloakroom complete the accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom extends to almost 30 feet and enjoys attractive countryside views. This impressive room provides generous sleeping and dressing areas, extensive bespoke fitted storage and an en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, together with a family bathroom.

Outside, the grounds have been arranged into several attractive and productive areas. Features include a large patio, raised vegetable beds, orchard trees, a substantial polytunnel, greenhouse, wildlife pond and timber bird hide. A gated gravel driveway provides off-road parking, while a secondary access leads to the rear of the property and its outbuildings. Outside there is overflow accommodation in the large outbuilding immediately adjacent to the house.

The extensive range of buildings includes a substantial 78-foot stone barn, additional stone stores, workshops and a former aviary. One of the smaller stone buildings is understood to have previously benefited from planning permission for holiday accommodation, offering potential for alternative use or income generation, subject to the necessary consents.

Pengelly is located close to the village of Llangwyryfon and within easy reach of Bronant and the coastal village of Llanrhystud. Aberystwyth provides a comprehensive range of shops, services, leisure facilities and transport connections.
