Property description

This exquisite, individually designed barn conversion not only retains an abundance of charm and character but also boasts an array of modern upgrades enhancing both comfort and security. Offering flexible living space with 4/5 generously proportioned bedrooms, this property is perfectly tailored for family living and is meticulously presented, providing ample room both for entertaining and daily life. Key recent enhancements include an updated central heating system complete with boiler, radiators, and a water tank, ensuring a warm and efficient living environment. The security of the property has been elevated with the installation of a new alarmed oil tank, lockable windows and doors. Exterior improvements feature new fencing and an architecturally designed arch gate, which enhance both the security and aesthetic appeal of the home. Inside, the master bedroom has been upgraded with a new shower unit, adding a touch of luxury and convenience. Additionally, new flooring has been laid in three of the four bedrooms, further modernizing the space, and adding to its contemporary appeal. Set within beautifully landscaped gardens that feature a separate stone annex, the property also benefits from secure gated archway parking. Its location is particularly advantageous, lying in close proximity to the scenic Georgian coastal town of Aberaeron and the well-equipped university and shopping town of Lampeter. Additionally, Aberystwyth, a larger coastal and university town, is approximately eighteen miles to the north. The stone annex offers the ultimate set-up for a home office, or a versatile space for hobbies, or family parties.

IInternally, the barn conversion strikes a delightful balance between spacious open areas for social gatherings and secluded private spots, ideal for work or relaxation. The interiors are marked by a refined contemporary aesthetic that complements the external rustic appeal. Nestled in the village of Tal-sarn, the property is just 6 miles from Lampeter and 7 miles from Aberaeron. The village itself holds historical significance as the former residence of Dylan Thomas—Wales’s most celebrated poet—at Plas Gelli from 1941 to 1943. Thomas' connection to the area is immortalised in his naming of his daughter Aeronwy after the river Aeron, which meanders through the picturesque Aeron Valley to Aberaeron. This location offers a unique opportunity to explore the Welsh countryside, with access to invigorating walks through fields and valleys, enhancing the appeal of this distinguished home.

Vendor interview:
This captivating & unique barn conversion occupies a quiet & enviable position in the beautiful Aeron Valley in Mid Wales. 'Aeron' translated from Welsh into English, means 'berries', & evokes the fruitfulness & richness of the Ceredigion countryside. It is a most peaceful & serene setting for us to focus on our family, work and leisure.

The impressive exterior façade showcases a classic blend of timeless beauty and modern sophistication. The property, configured over two floors, exudes amazing character, elegance & charm. The upper floor vaulted cathedral ceilings create an airy and welcoming atmosphere. This fine country home is harmoniously blended with bright, spacious interiors & desirable modern conveniences. From the attractive galleried landing & through the floor-to-ceiling gallery window, it offers a stunning panoramic outlook over rolling green fields to the tree-lined River Aeron.

It benefits from enclosed gardens, a courtyard, a private, covered & gated archway & generously proportioned patio areas, an idyllic setup for outdoor entertaining. A separate annex provides for additional multi-generational use.

Thick outer walls & an efficient heating system insulate the interior in a comforting way from any inhospitable winter weather. The multi-fuel feature stove with brick & wood surround, together with the traditional dressed slate hearth & hardwood lounge floor, offer the perfect blend of warmth, style & convenience.

The main living area boasts an open concept design, seamlessly connecting the study/5th bedroom, cloakroom, conservatory/sun room and large open concept kitchen complete with spacious countertops. Sunlight pours into the home through large windows, French doors and roof skylights.

The master bedroom is an expansive private retreat, complete with a spacious layout & ample built-in closet space, dual aspect windows and a cosy sitting area. The sizeable en-suite with a modern shower enclosure, bidet, full toilet and washbasin facilities promotes relaxation & wellbeing. Three additional generously sized bedrooms (all with high quality bath/shower en-suite layout) offer ample circulation space whilst providing comfort and privacy for family members, or B & B guests.

This generously proportioned property with an approximate gross internal area of 3412 sq ft - 317 sq m. Is a delightful blend of history and modern comfort. It is set against a backdrop of private mature gardens and enveloped by green meadows belonging to Llanllyr, an ancient former site of a Cistercian nunnery (half a mile to the west) & Plas Y Gelli, the home of Dylan Thomas during the war years (half a mile to the north east). The landscape inspired Dylan Thomas' A Winter's Tale & is an oasis of green space given over to beautiful countryside & woodland walks.

It is a truly fantastic home and a competitively priced investment opportunity, offering affordable luxury with a touch of rustic elegance.

Further, a new £16.3m 240-pupil Welsh-medium 3-11 school is being built 1.8 miles away. Other local schools can be found approximately 7 miles equidistant from the property in both Aberaeron and Lampeter.
