4 bed detached house for sale

Rocklands, Ferwig, Cardigan SA43

Rocklands is one of those rare properties that ticks every box. An imposing detached period residence, white rendered beneath a slate roof with a striking two-storey bay, it stands in about 23 acres of its own land at Ferwig, just north of the market town of Cardigan and close to the beautiful Teifi estuary and the Cardigan Bay coastline.

Inside, the house combines genuine character with a high-quality modern finish. Beamed ceilings, slate flagstones, stained and leaded glass, period fireplaces and oak ledged doors sit alongside a superb Dekton-topped kitchen, refitted shower rooms and underfloor heating. The heart of the

home is a magnificent vaulted kitchen/breakfast/family room, with a towering brick chimney breast, a wood-burning stove and a light-filled sun room framing panoramic views over the gardens and open countryside.

There are three reception rooms, four to five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a spectacular triple-aspect master suite. A ground-floor wing of utility/prep kitchen, bedroom and wet room, with two external doors of its own, gives excellent potential for multi-generational living or a self-contained annexe, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, the equestrian facilities are outstanding. A substantial stable block provides seven stables and a tack room, with a full-length loft above that already includes a finished room with a kitchenette and a Nordic sauna. There is a detached triple garage, ample parking, sunny gardens and patio, and a series of post and electric wire fencing with several field accesses, together with a valley strip to the south with a stream running through it. The garden includes a Summer House, with electricity, a shed, two log stores and an implement store.

Rocklands offers space, privacy, views and a true country lifestyle, all within easy reach of Cardigan and some of the finest beaches in West Wales.
