Enjoying a wonderfully private position just outside the popular village of Newport, The Glen is a strikingly attractive country home which sits perfectly in the landscape that surrounds it. The property offers generous accommodation over two floors and is presented for sale in excellent condition. The Glen has four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor and a highly flexible layout on the ground floor which includes a home office and scope for a ground-floor bedroom. The property sits in just over an acre of grounds which includes a detached double garage and stone barn, along with well-maintained and secure gardens with a stream running along the eastern boundary. The home is within easy walking distance of the sea and the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.
Entering the home from the covered porch, you arrive in a large central hallway with doors to all the principal rooms on this level. To your left, you find a lovely sitting room, which could easily serve as a formal dining room. Opposite, there is a very useful study/home office, which looks out to the front of the home and along the driveway. Next to the sitting room, you find another reception room which could serve as a ground-floor bedroom. This space benefits from a ground-floor cloakroom alongside, while a door at the rear of the hall leads into the kitchen/living space. This wonderful room includes a bespoke kitchen with a large central island and a lovely open dining and seating area to the rear. This space enjoys windows to three sides, along with glazed double doors in the end wall which perfectly frame the view across the gardens and out to sea through the trees. The ground floor benefits from two wood-burning stoves, with a handy utility room off the kitchen and a rear boot room completing the accommodation on this level.
Climbing the staircase to the first floor, you pass a full-length window with views towards the eastern side of the home before arriving at the large central landing. Radiating off this space, you find four good-sized bedrooms, one of which enjoys an en-suite shower room with the principal bedroom also having direct access to the family bathroom which completes the accommodation on this level. One of the two bedrooms at the front of the home has a door leading out to the beautiful balcony, which would be the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises in front of you.
Externally, the home sits at the centre of just over an acre of grounds, with lawns and mature trees surrounding it. There are several seating areas around the home, including a lovely spot to the side overlooking the stream which flows along the boundary and provides a wonderful soundtrack to the home. There is ample parking on the driveway which leads to a detached double garage with separate woodshed beside it. At the rear of the grounds, you find a stone barn which could provide a wonderful conversion opportunity for a studio or snug. The grounds provide a wonderful sense of peace and tranquillity and perfectly frame this delightful home.
The ever-popular village of Newport is just a moment’s drive from the home, with its superb range of shops, pubs and bustling community. The larger towns of Fishguard and Cardigan are both within easy reach with the stunning north Pembrokeshire coastline literally on your doorstep. For those looking for a home that combines this stunning location with a picture-perfect property, The Glen should be essential viewing.

Entering the home via the covered porch, you arrive in a spacious central hallway, which provides access to all the principal rooms on the ground floor. The hallway creates a welcoming first impression and demonstrates many of the original features and character that make this property so special. The staircase leading up to the first floor of the home is found to the right, with a lovely full-length window flooding the space with natural light.
Sitting Room
Positioned to the left of the hallway, the sitting room is a lovely reception space, offering a comfortable setting for relaxation.

A door at the rear of the hallway leads through to the impressive kitchen and living space, which forms the heart of the home. The bespoke kitchen is fitted around a substantial central island, with an attractive open-plan dining and seating area positioned to the rear. Windows to three sides allow natural light to flood the room, while glazed double doors in the end wall perfectly frame the outlook across the gardens and, through the trees, towards the sea. The window to the left-hand side perfectly frames a view of the Iron Age burial mound to the west of the property. The space also benefits from a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A door from the kitchen leads into the utility room, while a further door in the left-hand wall leads into the boot room at the side of the property.
Utility Room
Leading off the kitchen is a useful utility room, providing additional space for laundry and household appliances while keeping the practical elements of everyday living neatly tucked away from the main kitchen. The room has a window to the side and has space and plumbing for a washing machine and separate dryer.
Boot Room
A rear boot room completes the accommodation on the ground floor, providing a particularly useful space for coats, footwear and outdoor equipment. The room has windows looking out over the garden and a bespoke stable door leading out to the side of the home.

External
Externally, the property is set within private and beautifully landscaped mature grounds, offering a wonderful combination of established gardens, attractive seating areas and useful ancillary space. A particularly attractive feature is the walled and gated driveway, which is lined with lavender and leads into the grounds. The gardens include extensive lawned areas, a front stone terrace and several sheltered seating areas, providing lovely spaces in which to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Mature trees, established hedging, bushes, shrubs and well-stocked flower borders add to the character and appeal, while a delightful small stream meanders along the eastern boundary, creating an additional point of interest and a wonderful backdrop to the home.
To the rear of the property, there is ample parking and turning space for several vehicles, together with a useful double garage which also lends itself to use as a garden workshop, alongside separate log stores.
