Description
Pwll Yr Heirn is a delightful country property in west Wales that comprises a large traditional farmhouse (thought to originally date c.1600s – 1700s) that has been extended over the years. The property has had a complete overhaul by the current owners to produce a spacious and comfortable home blending its character features with modern touches. The large scale of the house living accommodation offers the potential to divide to provide a self-contained annexe/cottage if required – stp – subject to planning. Arranged around the house is a traditional courtyard with a garden area, outdoor dining area, stables and further useful outbuildings.
