Approached via a sweeping tarmacadam driveway flanked by mature planting and well-tended lawned gardens, Pontfaen presents with immediate presence and kerb appeal. The property has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded over the years to create a substantial, flexible home that functions beautifully whether hosting 22 guests or welcoming a large family for a permanent change of pace.There are properties, and then there are opportunities. Pontfaen is emphatically the latter — and unusually, it is three opportunities in one.Set within approximately one acre of beautifully maintained grounds along a quiet country lane between the villages of Cribyn and Dihewyd, this substantial ten-bedroom country residence is one of the most versatile and compelling property acquisitions to reach the West Wales market in years. Whatever your ambition, Pontfaen has an answer.Opportunity One — The InvestmentPontfaen is currently operating as a thriving, fully-equipped holiday let accommodating up to 22 guests in the main house — rising to 28 with the included lodge-style static caravan. The business generates approximately £150,000 per annum in turnover, supported by an established website, strong forward bookings, and a bespoke leisure suite that drives premium nightly rates and exceptional repeat custom. Offered as a going concern,with fixtures, fittings, and future bookings available by separate negotiation, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an income-producing hospitality business in a proven Welsh tourism destination.Opportunity Two — The Family HomeStrip away the holiday let operation and what remains is one of the most extraordinary family homes available anywhere in mid-Wales. Ten bedrooms. Multiple reception rooms. A banqueting kitchen capable of seating 22. A master suite with French doors to the garden. A private hot tub, sauna, and leisure suite. Over an acre of gardens and grounds. A self-contained lodge caravan for extended family, guests, or an au pair. Pontfaen is the rare kind of home that genuinely accommodates multi-generational family living — the kind of space where grandparents, parents, adult children, and grandchildren can each have their own place within a shared and cherished family estate.Opportunity Three — The Portfolio ExpansionFor those with vision and a larger budget, there is more. Across the lane sits a separate and optional glamping acquisition: a three-acre site with three barrel-style pods already operational and returning income, planning permission for a further three units, and a stunning natural lake at its heart. Available by separate negotiation, this third opportunity transforms Pontfaen from a single strong asset into the foundation of a genuinely significant West Wales hospitality portfolio.

My parents bought it when I was twelve, and eleven years ago I took the house on myself and carried out a complete renovation.”“The area is rich in history, with several ancient fortresses nearby, the name Caerlicken itself means “the fortress of Licken”.”“I could always see the potential in this house. Built in 1565, it is a rare Elizabethan long house. While its history and character are extraordinary, what truly makes it special is the location. Overlooking the Severn Valley, the views are simply breath taking. On a clear day we can see across to Bristol, Clevedon, Westonsuper- Mare and even as far as the Devon coast. You can see for miles, and it never stops feeling special.”“When we moved in, we completely renovated the house, taking it right back to the earth and rebuilding from the bottom up. It is now a 500-year-old home with all the comforts of modern living. We also converted the barn into a self-contained annex.”“As you drive down the lane towards the house, the view opens up in a way that truly takes your breath away.”“My favourite room in the house is the dining room and conservatory which was part of the extension - it has bi-fold doors that open onto the garden. In the summer, when the doors are open, it feels as though you are dining outside. We love sitting there, watching ships come in from the Bristol Channel and looking out across the landscape for miles.”“My wife is a flower farmer and the garden is something very special. There is an orchard with apple, cherry, damson and mulberry trees. Wildlife is everywhere with many birds visiting, including some unusual ones. We even have woodpeckers, yellowhammers and an owl, which feels truly magical. Being on a hillside also means birds of prey often circle above. The garden is part of the National Garden Scheme, and we have opened it to the public before, raising money for charity - something we are very proud of.”“This home is made for entertaining. We have held Notley Fest here for my wife’s 40th and in the years since. My daughter was married here too, with a huge marquee - many guests said they thought it was a wedding venue, but it is simply our home.”“We have wonderful neighbours, always ready to help one another. My wife is part of several ladies’ groups - walking, book and dinner club and there is always something happening, especially at the village hall.”“What I will miss most is everything: the garden, the space, the privacy and the tranquillity. This has been a very special home to us. You can see so much from here, yet hear almost nothing. It is a very special place.”https://w3w.co/builds.encloses.tickling

Nestled within beautiful, undulating countryside north of Cardiff this renovated dream home offers an idyllic pocket of peace, hidden away on a dead-end lane. The sprawling, stylish home occupies an enviable location, commutable to the capital yet surrounded by easily accessed, stunning countryside bursting with woodland walks, bike and horse trails, and a popular local pub for refreshments along the way. Through the gates reveals a collection of former farm buildings clustered around a private and characterful courtyard. Pushing open the front door of the main house reveals a stylish and contemporary country home offering impressive high-end, luxury design throughout that includes a designer kitchen by Loxleys London. The main house offers four substantial bedroom suites that ooze luxury, with opulent bathrooms and generous spaces that can accommodate lounge areas too. Outside, the grounds of approximately 0.85 acres are surrounded by stunning and sweeping rural views and multiple places to entertain family and friends, or find solitaire and silence in the shade under a tree. There's ample parking for multiple vehicles which is a big bonus as this rural retreat comes with surely the best party facilities in the area within one of the converted barns that is bound to attract regular visits from family and friends. The party barn includes a lounge bar that feels like you've just arrived at an exclusive country club, plus an impressive home cinema, spa that includes a sauna, steam room and a gym, a games room that can easily accommodate a full-size snooker table, plus a kitchen, so it's not too far to cook up a feast or find some snacks for guests.Step inside the former farmhouse within this cluster of incredible buildings and a glamorous and contemporary home awaits, having been lavished with a high-end renovation that has established luxury at its core.The first impression is a breathtaking one, with ground floor dividing walls and separate reception rooms a distant memory, as these former spaces have been combined and given a truly modern makeover. Stepping into this now open-plan space you can see through to the garden via picture windows and French doors and this, coupled with layers of thoughtfully designed lighting including hidden LEDs and shiny surfaces that bounce light around, makes the space feel very light, fresh and contemporary. The central staircase is a thing of beauty; a bespoke glass structure that sweeps its way to the first floor with a flourish. The flooring choice is contemporary too, high shine tiling that flows throughout the whole ground floor, unifying the space.To one side of the stunning staircase is a spacious dining zone that is the perfect place for a lively and enjoyable dinner party or family gathering, with ample space for a substantial dining table and the benefit of a set of French doors to throw open in the summer so the party can seamlessly spill out into the garden. The other side of the staircase is another zone focussed on socialising - a lounge area where two massive sofas effortlessly curve around the attractive feature fireplace, with visually pleasing symmetry achieved via a large floor-to-ceiling window either side of the flames. It's a space where winter months are warmed by the fire and summer time sees sunshine and garden views flood in through the picture windows, it's a space that will always be popular for gatherings, whatever the time of day or year.A more intimate reception space awaits off this impressive open-plan area, but it can still happily welcome a huge, squishy sofa for family and friends to sink into together, plus its own set of French doors so garden views and summer breezes can join the group gathering. There's a study at the rear of the house on the way to find the kitchen and it is a perfect place for work, with built-in carpentry promoting perfect organisation of work, and there's even space for yet another good sized sofa. Into the kitchen and the luxury fixtures and fittings continue with the discovery of a high-end, Edwin Loxley of London designer kitchen packed with integrated appliances and connected to the dining area via a set of steps.The cook can be joined for a chat and maybe a few taste tests either at the integrated island unit breakfast bar or in the dining area that includes a sizeable wine fridge. With the bifold doors open in the warmer weather, it's the perfect kitchen diner to cook up a feast connected directly and seamlessly to the garden. Additional accommodation on the ground floor includes a utility space and cloakroom, before the stunning glass staircase beckons so the journey of discovery can continue upstairs.The house used to have six bedrooms but with the remodelling of the home came the creative idea to sacrifice two in order to design four fabulous, spacious and distinct bedroom suites. In three of the bedroom suites the ceilings have been removed to create double-height, vaulted spaces full of charm, with the primary boasting exposed roof beams adding character to this substantial space. The ensuite to this largest of the bedrooms is, of course, glamorous and luxurious - and huge. It is an ensuite that is pure pleasure to visit either for a relaxing soak or refreshing shower, and this five-star hotel standard is repeated in the family bathroom where the bath commands most attention thanks to its size and position on an elevated plinth. It feels so luxurious to step up and then step down into the bath and, if accompanied by bubbles, candles and a glass of something refreshing, is a sumptuous experience that can be enjoyed every day at this property and not just when staying at a posh country hotel.Two of the suites have mezzanine bedroom areas with their own staircase which allows space below for lounge areas and even a semi open-plan ensuite as part of the floorplan. But the main house is not the only area of the property that has received a thoughtful and impressive renovation and conversion, one of the barns nestled around the courtyard has been given a new lease of life as surely the best party barn in the area.The barn is so well-equipped there is no need to ever leave the property for entertainment and fun. For the ultimate group fun the main section of the barn is currently dedicated to a games area that can easily accommodate a full-size snooker table and arcade games. Inside this amazing barn there's an impressive home cinema, complete with big, squishy chairs and dimmed lighting that conjures up a magical and intimate atmosphere as the perfect setting for the audience to be totally immersed in the movie. The barn has its own kitchen too, so it's not far to go to drum up some snacks in time for the film or the start of the match. Also found within the barn, that seems bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, is a sizeable gym with a wall of mirrors to assist the workout, and after a hard session the spa area looks very welcoming, offering a sauna, steam room, walk-in shower and room for a massage table. The perfect end to the health and spa session is surely a cool drink waiting at the bar. As all good country clubs can boast, this private version has an inviting lounge bar area, nestled under the exposed roof beams on a mezzanine level, creating an intimate atmosphere to this most sociable of spaces.Step outside to explore the 0.85 acres of land that sweeps around the property before it seamlessly flows into panoramic rural views that expand to the horizon. Behind the gates, off the dead-end lane shared only with one other property that is also a bridleway, there's plenty of onsite parking for all the guests that are sure to turn up regularly to attend memorable events in the party barn.The lawns are extensive and expansive, lined by trees and hedgerows and offering the perfect place for outdoor games, football matches, and sun-drenched picnics, but the property can offer more intimate spaces too. There are house-hugging patios and courtyards that cluster around the house all boasting special and enticing places to admire the view, enjoy company with family and friends, and tuck into an alfresco feast. Within the grounds is a bonus that not many homes can offer - a characterful stone building called Long Barn that already has planning in place to be converted into a four-bed dream home, offering onsite multi-generational living if required. The vendors also advise that there is also the potential for 2 one bed, suites (with sitting room/kitchen bathroom and balcony) above the parking for five vehicles. This additional potential to create an extra dream home (with its own title deed) is being sold separately to the main property for Guide Price £375,000.With permission, the newly finessed barn could even be rented out as a holiday let to make the most of the property's perfect location, close to the capital of Wales and yet feeling like a world away, surrounded by a rolling rural landscape with onsite socialising and relaxation at the heart of this unique luxury home.

Tucked away at the end of a private lane in the charming village of Ilston, The Old Rectory is a truly remarkable 5-bedroom Georgian residence set within approximately 10 acres, steeped in history and cherished by the same family for two generations. Originally dating back to earlier centuries and later remodelled in the 1830s to create the elegant home seen today, it has long been tied to nearby St. Illtyd’s Church and even welcomed the diarist Reverend Francis Kilvert, who recorded fond visits here in the 19th century.

The interior of Bryn Cwrt has been thoughtfully reimagined to create a bright and contemporary living environment. The layout is well balanced, offering spacious and versatile accommodation across three bedrooms. The existing garage offers excellent potential for a conversion into a fourth bedroom or additional accommodation, ideally suited to multi-generational living (subject to the necessary consents) The principal living areas are filled with natural light, enhanced by the property’s elevated position and open outlook. The design focuses on clean lines and modern finishes, creating a home that feels both stylish and comfortable. The kitchen and living spaces flow naturally, making them ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Bedrooms are well proportioned, offering privacy and flexibility for family or guest use. The overall impression is one of quality, light, and effortless single-level living.Externally, Bryn Cwrt truly excels, set within approximately 15 acres of land that provide space, privacy, and outstanding lifestyle potential. The elevated position ensures panoramic views across the surrounding countryside, creating a sense of openness and tranquillity. The grounds are well suited to a variety of uses, particularly for equestrian or rural pursuits. A substantial barn, ten stables, and a tack room offer excellent facilities for those with horses or land-based interests. The land itself provides both functionality and natural beauty, with scope for further use or enjoyment. The setting is peaceful and private, yet remains highly accessible. This is an outdoor environment that complements the home perfectly.Sellers Insight:When I bought Bryn Cwrt, I knew I had found something special, but over time it has become so much more than just a house to me – it has been a sanctuary. Tucked away in the countryside yet incredibly well connected, it offers that rare balance of complete peace with everyday convenience. The M4 makes commuting to Bristol, Cardiff or Newport easy, the train station offers free parking, and The Grange hospital is less than ten minutes away. I can be in Usk, Hereford or exploring the Wye Valley with ease, yet when I am home it feels wonderfully private, calm and secure, with no immediate neighbours and a real sense of seclusion.From the outset, I committed to doing everything properly. After commissioning a full survey, I systematically completed all recommended works: a new roof with added insulation, double-glazed windows throughout, full rewiring and replumbing, a new heating system with the oil tank relocated to a safer position, solar panels, and fully relevelled floors. The result is a warm, efficient bungalow that has been comprehensively modernised. In addition, the garage has been sympathetically rebuilt to match the house, with new windows, its own entrance, and plumbing already in place, making it ideal for conversion to an annex, Airbnb, or multi-generational living.Moving on from Bryn Cwrt, the views are what I will miss most. From the en-suite bedroom and the lounge, I look out across my own land, often with sheep grazing peacefully beyond. Bi-fold doors open from the lounge onto the patio, drawing the outside in and making summer living a joy. The kitchen diner is always a favourite with guests, filled with morning sunshine and perfect for family life or entertaining.The land is a huge advantage, with barns and stables and no agricultural tie, allowing complete flexibility of use. I have landscaped and securely fenced the garden, making it ideal for dogs, and improved the land with new fencing and additional trees. The large driveway offers plenty of parking, while the barn and stable offer great potential and flexibility for a multitude of uses. With so much land and set down a private drive at the top of the hill, Bryn Cwrt offers space, freedom and tranquillity – all while remaining effortlessly connected to real life.///diplomas.transmit.extensive
