4 bed detached house for sale

Dre-Fach Felindre, Llandysul SA44

For sale for the first time in 20 years with no onward chain, this exceptional Grade II Listed property dates back to 1880 and was originally occupied by the Manager of the then-thriving Maeros Woollen Mill and is described by Cadw as “one of the finest surviving examples of housing associated with the growing and prosperous middle class during the woollen trade boom years." Beautifully preserved and sympathetically maintained, this four-bedroom home is rich in original character. Constructed from locally quarried, hand-cut stone, it retains painted six-pane timber sash windows with cut-stone voussoirs and slate sills, beneath a pitched slate roof with stone end stacks. With two elegant reception rooms and a magical enclosed walled garden, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine heritage and enduring, timeless appeal.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, where attractive original quarry tiled flooring immediately sets the tone for the character that flows throughout the home. To the left, the charming living room features a fireplace with open fire, creating a cosy focal point, while dual aspect sash windows allow natural light in and enhance its welcoming atmosphere. To the right, the equally impressive breakfast room continues the quarry tiled flooring and offers its own feature fireplace, along with dual aspect windows, ideal for both family meals and entertaining.

An opening leads to the country-style kitchen of solid wood construction. It has hand crafted bespoke cabinets with a double ceramic sink and an electric eco Aga. The original range still features in the fireplace. The kitchen and adjoining breakfast room create a warm and traditional heart to the home. Beyond, the utility room provides additional fitted storage and convenient access to the rear garden. The ground floor also benefits from a WC and a useful boot room with a door allowing access from the side of the property.

A staircase rises from the hallway to the first-floor landing, a bright and airy space, providing access to four well-proportioned double bedrooms. Two bedrooms are positioned to the front, with two towards the rear each with windows to the side. The family bathroom overlooks the rear garden and is fitted with both a separate bath and shower, and benefits from a built in storage cupboard.

Externally, the house is elevated above the road, with a short flight of steps rising to the front door. The front garden is planted with mature shrubs and enclosed by wrought-iron railings, creating an impressive first impression. To the rear lies a truly enchanting walled garden, reminiscent of a secret garden. A patio seating area provides the perfect space for outdoor dining and relaxation, with slate steps leading up to a lawn framed by established plants and shrubs. A pergola tucked into the corner adds further charm and a wonderful focal point, whilst a useful attached outbuilding provides excellent storage and houses the oil-fired combi boiler (Installed October 2025).

Rich in original features, character, and warmth, this beautiful Grade II listed home offers a rare blend of historic significance, charm, and comfortable family living in a picturesque village setting.
