DESCRIPTION
Peter Large Estate Agents are privileged to market this unique country residence offering a highly sought after and easy to manage period property. Comprising of two detached properties, each with 3 en-suite bedrooms and benefitting from high insulation and a Swedish log boiler system to use fallen trees from the wood for fuel. The running costs and potential income for Cartref make this a very comfortable, sustainable and affordable house to run.
Cartref Barn is set behind Cartref and has been used as a 5* holiday let on Airbnb and for ‘live in’ or visiting family members over the years; ideal for space together and yet separate. Both properties have been renovated by the current owners to provide homes offering every modern refinement throughout. Standing in an area of outstanding natural beauty the property sits on an acre of easy to maintain gardens plus benefits from direct access to seven acres of beautiful and diverse woodland with an abundance of specialist species.
