Looking for a home within walking distance of Newcastle Emlyn yet surrounded by its own woodland? This detached two-bedroom bungalow sits on a generous plot with parking, new interiors, and scope for further improvement.
This detached two-bedroom bungalow offers a rare mix of town convenience and natural surroundings, set on a plot of around 0.44 acres with its own woodland to the rear. Located within easy walking distance of Newcastle Emlyn town centre, the property provides a balance of accessibility and privacy that is hard to find.
The bungalow has recently undergone extensive updating following water damage in the winter of 2022, when severe frost caused a burst pipe. Since then, the property has been stripped back and renewed, now benefiting from a newly fitted kitchen, new flooring, re-plastered walls, upgraded electrics, and a new central heating system powered by an external oil-fired combi boiler. The bathroom is partway through refurbishment, with a toilet already in place and the space ready for a new bath or shower unit, plus a wash hand basin to be fitted by the new owners.
Approached via a small lane, the property has its own gravelled driveway that continues to a gated entrance leading into the front garden and parking area. Here there is space to park two or three cars, with additional parking available along the private drive if required. A lawned section with a patio lies to the front of the lounge, and pathways lead to both the front and side entrances.
Details Continued:
Inside, the hallway provides access to all main rooms and includes a useful cupboard suited to shoes, coats, or general storage. The lounge has French doors to the front, a window overlooking the rear garden, and a wide opening into the kitchen-diner. Modern grey wood-effect laminate flooring runs through both spaces, tying the rooms together.
The kitchen is fitted with a matching range of wall and base units under a worktop, with integrated fridge-freezer, built-in electric oven, and a five-ring lpg gas hob with extractor above. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine or dishwasher, and a rear door leading to the side of the property. A dining table fits easily here, making it a practical, modern space.
The two bedrooms are both doubles, one with access to the loft and the other with a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom space is ready for completion, currently containing a fitted toilet and with scope to install either a bath or double shower. A built-in cupboard within the bathroom is ideal for towels or linen.
Externally:
Outside, the property is surrounded by mature trees and hedged boundaries, giving a private, natural feel. The front garden includes a lawn, gravelled parking area, and a patio, as well as pathways leading to further garden space where an older caravan remains (this is damaged beyond repair and will need to be removed by the new owners). A container unit at the front is useful for storage, and a garden shed, oil tank, and disused pond lie to one side. Gravelled paths lead around to the rear where the lpg gas bottles are stored.
Beyond the bungalow itself, the plot rises to an area of woodland at the rear. This natural section, with mature oaks and hazels, has been left to rewild in recent years, encouraging wildlife and creating a small pocket of nature right by the town. The gardens, both front and rear, could benefit from further landscaping to create tiered and usable areas, and there is scope, subject to the usual permissions, to extend the property to the back if additional living space were required.
Overall, this is a property that offers far more than its first appearance suggests. Recently modernised yet still leaving scope for finishing touches, it provides a practical home within walking distance of Newcastle Emlyn’s shops, cafes, and services. At the same time, the mature woodland and natural surroundings create a setting rarely available so close to town. For those looking for a home in West Wales with a connection to nature and the convenience of amenities, this bungalow is a strong opportunity. Cardigan Bay and the coast are also within easy reach, adding further appeal to the location.
