House with garden Cardigan (United Kingdom)

A Victorian Mansion of Rare Distinction — Nine Bedrooms, Nine Acres, 140 Years of Story Commissioned in 1885 by a gentleman of means, designed by George Morgan of Carmarthen — architect of courts and churches across south-west Wales — Glanolmarch Mansion has stood at the heart of the Teifi Valley for 140 years. Hand-dressed Cilgerran stone. Bath stone mullions. Stained glass dated the year of its completion. This is not a house that pretends to grandeur; it was built to it. Set within almost four acres of mature gardens and courtyard outbuildings in the village of Llechryd, within minutes of Cardigan and a short drive from the Pembrokeshire coast, Glanolmarch offers something increasingly rare: a Welsh country mansion of genuine Victorian pedigree, offered to the market for the first time in over sixty years, with no onward chain. Nine bedrooms. Three principal reception rooms. A billiard room. A galleried landing. Coach house. Stabling. Walled garden. Victorian greenhouse. And a second floor with significant further potential. The tree-lined tarmacadam drive announces what lies beyond before the house itself comes into view — copper beeches and specimen trees framing the arrival in the manner that Victorian architects intended. The approach is a statement in itself. As the mansion reveals itself — three storeys of hand-dressed Cilgerran grey stone with Bath stone dressings, steep-pitched slate roofs, pointed gables and Gothic-arched entrance portal draped in mature climber — the scale and quality of what was built here becomes impossible to ignore. The exterior is notable for its consistency: this is a house designed by one hand, built in one campaign, and cared for by one family for more than six decades. The result is a property in remarkable original condition, with all the integrity of its architecture preserved. Open Day at the Stunning Glanolmarch Mansion Monday 25th May | 10am–3pm Glanolmarch Mansion, Llechryd, Cardigan, SA43

Contemporary house with garden and terrace Narberth (United Kingdom)

An exceptional architect-designed four-bedroom home where contemporary luxury, renewable technology and the Pembrokeshire coast come together.  Some homes simply occupy their setting; Glenwood feels as though it belongs to it.  Tucked within the sheltered woodland of Pembrokeshire’s beautiful Pleasant Valley, this striking cedar-clad residence tells a story of complete reinvention. The site was once occupied by a post-war Woolaway bungalow, built in 1966 on land historically belonging to the prestigious Picton Castle Estate. In 2016, the original property was comprehensively transformed into the distinctive contemporary home seen today: an architectural residence created to embrace light, landscape and modern, energy-conscious living.  Its glass-led design establishes an immediate connection with the surrounding grounds, while the warmth and texture of the cedar cladding allow the house to settle naturally into its leafy surroundings. Inside, flowing living spaces, carefully considered architectural details and cohesive finishes give the home a strong sense of identity.  This is contemporary design with warmth and personality, a home created not merely to make a statement, but to offer an exceptional way of life.  A Home Designed Around Light and Landscape  Glenwood offers four generously proportioned bedrooms alongside versatile reception and living spaces designed for modern family life and entertaining.  Glazing plays an important role throughout the house, drawing natural light deep into the interior and framing changing views of the mature gardens. Carefully considered architectural details, including the beautifully curved wall within the principal bedroom, introduce softness and individuality, while the cohesive use of tiling creates a sense of continuity between the different areas of the home.  The principal living space is made particularly inviting by a wood-burning stove, bringing warmth and atmosphere during the cooler months. A separate living area provides valuable flexibility, whether used as a quieter sitting room, television room, home office or informal family space.  Although undeniably contemporary, Glenwood never feels stark. Natural materials, woodland views and the relationship between the house and its gardens create a calm and welcoming environment somewhere designed to be lived in and enjoyed throughout every season.  Created for a More Sustainable Future  Glenwood was designed not only for the way people live today, but with the future firmly in mind.  The property benefits from a ground-source heat pump, solar panels and Tesla battery storage, allowing energy generated during the day to be stored for later use. An electric vehicle charging point further complements the home’s renewable credentials, while the wood-burning stove provides an additional source of warmth within the main living area.  The property achieved an Energy Performance Certificate rating of Band B before the solar panels and Tesla battery storage were installed, highlighting the efficiency already incorporated within its design.  For buyers looking for a luxury contemporary home with reduced reliance on conventional energy sources, Glenwood offers an increasingly rare combination of architectural quality, lifestyle and renewable technology.  Approximately 1.36 Acres of Established Grounds  The house stands within approximately 1.36 acres of mature, established grounds, creating an impressive sense of privacy and space.  The gardens form an attractive natural backdrop to the contemporary architecture, with established planting and surrounding woodland giving the property its wonderfully sheltered atmosphere. The generous plot provides plenty of space for outdoor living, gardening and recreation while retaining a close connection with the wider landscape of Pleasant Valley.  There is scope for the grounds to suit a variety of lifestyles, from those seeking peaceful gardens and space for children to explore, to buyers interested in equestrian use or establishing a smallholding.  Stables and Equestrian Potential  Custom-built stables, constructed in 2010, add another dimension to the property and give Glenwood genuine appeal for those wishing to keep a pony, goats or other smallholding animals at home.  Combined with the approximately 1.36-acre plot and direct access to the neighbouring bridleway, the stables create an unusual lifestyle opportunity. It is a property capable of offering the space and freedom associated with country living without the responsibilities of managing a large rural estate.  For equestrian buyers, dog walkers and anyone drawn to an active outdoor lifestyle, the setting is particularly special.  From the Garden to the Beach  One of Glenwood’s most compelling features lies beyond its rear boundary.  A private gate opens directly onto the historic bridleway and heritage trail, providing a beautiful traffic-free route through Pleasant Valley towards Wiseman’s Bridge Beach.  Whether setting out on horseback, walking the dog, enjoying a family cycle or simply taking an evening stroll, the ability to leave the garden and follow a picturesque woodland route towards the Pembrokeshire coast is an exceptional lifestyle feature.  Few homes can offer this balance: a private woodland setting, its own stables, approximately 1.36 acres and direct access to a route leading towards the beach.  A Landscape Rich in History  Pleasant Valley is more than a picturesque setting; it forms part of a landscape with a fascinating cultural and industrial history.  The name Stepaside can be traced back to the 17th century, with local tradition linking it to Oliver Cromwell’s army as it travelled through the area towards Pembroke Castle in 1648. During the 19th century, the valley became an important centre of industry, with the historic Stepaside Ironworks established in 1849. Today, the former industrial route has become a peaceful woodland and heritage trail leading towards Wiseman’s Bridge, allowing residents to experience the area’s history as part of everyday life. Glenwood brings another chapter to that story. From land once associated with the Picton Castle Estate, through its post-war beginnings, to its complete architectural transformation in 2016, this is a property that has continually evolved while remaining deeply connected to its surroundings. Coastal and Country Living in Pembrokeshire  The location places Glenwood within easy reach of Wiseman’s Bridge, Saundersfoot and the wider Pembrokeshire coastline, while retaining the peace and privacy of its sheltered woodland setting. Wiseman’s Bridge is known for its beach, coastal scenery and access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The popular seaside village of Saundersfoot offers a harbour, beaches, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities, with Tenby and the wider attractions of South Pembrokeshire also within convenient reach.  This balance makes Glenwood particularly appealing. It offers the atmosphere of a rural retreat, the practical advantages of a substantial four-bedroom family home, facilities for an equestrian or smallholding lifestyle and direct access towards the beach all within one of South West Wales’ most distinctive coastal valleys.  Glenwood is not simply a modern house in the countryside. It is a considered fusion of architecture, history and landscape: a piece of Pembrokeshire’s past thoughtfully redefined for luxurious and sustainable modern living.

Contemporary house with garden and terrace Tenby (United Kingdom)

A Remarkable Architectural Home Created Around Nature Architect-designed contemporary residence by Argent Architects • Approximately four acres of private grounds • Three bedrooms • Engineered glulam post-and-beam construction • Standing-seam zinc roof and cladding • High-performance insulated envelope • Aluminium/timber composite glazing • Two elevated balconies • Two substantial garages • Dedicated workspace • Separate lodge/store • Wildlife pond • Exceptional privacy There are homes that are renovated, and then there are those that are completely reimagined. When the current owners discovered Millpark, an entirely different bungalow occupied this wonderfully secluded setting. Recognising the potential of the land, they made the bold decision to demolish the original dwelling and begin again, commissioning renowned Pembrokeshire practice Argent Architects to create a home designed specifically around its surroundings. The result is a striking three-bedroom contemporary residence, elevated above approximately four acres of private grounds and thoughtfully positioned to maximise natural light, privacy and its exceptional connection with the surrounding landscape. Built around an engineered glulam post-and-beam frame, with a high-performance insulated envelope, standing-seam zinc roof and cladding, and aluminium/timber composite glazing, the house combines bold contemporary architecture with outstanding energy efficiency, durability and low-maintenance modern living. Yet it is the relationship with nature that makes Millpark truly special. Generous glazing draws the outside in, while two elevated balconies provide wonderful places to sit and admire the surrounding countryside. Morning coffee as the sun rises, long summer evenings overlooking the grounds, or simply watching the seasons unfold—the landscape becomes an integral part of everyday life. Within the grounds are two ponds, including a beautiful wildlife pond that has become a thriving natural habitat. During my own visit, one of the most memorable sights was the extraordinary dragonflies—amongst the largest I have ever seen—gliding effortlessly across the water’s surface. It is a small detail, perhaps, but one that perfectly captures the tranquillity, biodiversity and sense of seclusion that define this remarkable setting. The grounds themselves encourage a slower pace of life. Mature trees, open lawns and natural planting create an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons, attracting an abundance of wildlife while offering complete privacy. It is a setting that feels both beautifully landscaped and wonderfully wild, allowing nature to flourish around the home. The elevated design also creates exceptional practicality beneath the principal accommodation, with two substantial garages and a dedicated workspace. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents, there may be potential to explore connecting the workspace with the accommodation above, creating further flexibility for those seeking additional living accommodation, a studio or a home office. A separate lodge/store provides valuable ancillary accommodation within the grounds, further enhancing the versatility of the property. Millpark is not simply a bungalow that has been modernised. It is an entirely new home, thoughtfully conceived from the ground up—where contemporary architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and approximately four acres of private Pembrokeshire countryside exist in complete harmony. For those seeking something genuinely individual, Millpark offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, complete privacy, practical versatility and an exceptional connection with nature. A home designed not simply to sit within its landscape, but to embrace it.
