Summary

Nestled in an impressive setting, Pantygrwndy Fawr is a remarkable property characterised by its rich history and unique features. Dating back to the early to mid-1700s, this residence has been enhanced by a Georgian-era addition, resulting in a spacious six-bedroom, four-reception room home.

Adjacent to the main house, a substantial square of unconverted barns and outbuildings presents a rare opportunity for conversion, subject to planning permissions. These structures could potentially accommodate various uses, including residential units or commercial enterprises. The surrounding 3.5 acres of well-maintained gardens, enhance the property's appeal, offering commanding views of the countryside and the majestic Preseli Mountains.

Internally, the property boasts multiple access points, including the main entrance, a boot room adjacent to the large parking area, and double doors leading into the grand Georgian hall. The entrance hall/study area transitions into the elegant Georgian main hall, which features the first of two staircases. This hall provides access to two generously sized reception rooms and a doorway leading to the original part of the home.

As you continue through the property, you will find the breathtaking living room, featuring one of the most impressive hearths imaginable, along with a spacious kitchen/diner equipped with handcrafted cabinetry and a breakfast bar. Adjacent to the kitchen are a large pantry and a utility/boot room that connects back to the parking area.

On the first floor, the residence comprises six bedrooms (four doubles and two singles), a lavatory, and two bathrooms. Each bedroom offers picturesque views of the surrounding gardens and countryside, with the master bedroom located at the northern end, showcasing windows on three sides.

The adjacent farm buildings consist of two straight structures and one 'L' shaped building, currently utilised for storage, garaging, and workshop space. These stone-built structures, featuring ornate archways and fully slate roofs, offer various options for future development or conversion, pending relevant planning approvals.

The grounds surrounding Pantygrwndy Fawr encompass approximately 3.5 acres of landscaped gardens. A large lake and ancient quarry are found to the southern side of the estate, with mature woodlands extending to the east (available via separate negotiation). The gardens surrounding the main home are beautifully landscaped, featuring a large patio that provides an idyllic setting for outdoor seating and entertaining while enjoying stunning views of the sunsets and the Preseli Mountains.

Details

Main House

Entrance Hall / Study Space
You first enter the property from the path at the eastern side of the home and arrive in a flexible room that has only recently been renovated. The space could easily be used as a study or snug. It currently forms a more formal entrance than the side door into the boot room.

Sitting Room
To the eastern side of the main hallway you find a spacious sitting room with a large window to the southern aspect of the property. The space has a marble fireplace with electric fire set on the hearth. To either side of the fireplace you find two original alcoves that provide interesting features.

Main Hallway
This impressive space is positioned at the heart of the Georgian extension to the original structure. Finished with a herringbone parquet floor, the hall leads to double doors to the southern aspect of the home, along with doors to two reception rooms. Directly in front of the door from the entrance hall is the primary staircase for the home: it sweeps elegantly up, passing a full length stained glass window as it leads you up to the first floor.

Reception Room
Opposite the sitting room you find another reception space which also looks out to the southern aspect of the property. This room forgoes a fireplace but retains the feature arches like in the neighbouring sitting room.

Inner Hallway
Sitting between the main Georgian hallway and the living room is the inner hallway. To its western side you find a doorway leading down to the basement with the property's second staircase to the first floor positioned next to it. The hall also has another door to the living room and another door to the ground floor cloakroom.

Cloakroom
Off the inner hallway you find a handy cloakroom which serves the ground floor of the property. The room offers a lavatory and hand basin.

Basement
The large basement offers even more storage for the property. Believed to originally offer dry and cool food storage, the room retains its original slate shelving and an original opening to the southern side of the space. This surprisingly dry storage space provides excellent additional storage for the home.

Living Room
The stunning living room offers a wonderful space at the heart of the property. A very spacious area, the room has windows to the eastern and western side of the home with tall ceilings and exposed beams. The space offers ample room for both seating and dining areas with the focal point undoubtedly being the large hearth at the end of the room. This hearth is a truly breath taking feature for the entire home and offers a very large recess in the far wall of the room with an open fire at its centre.

Kitchen
Arguably the true heart of the property, this impressive space provides both a cooking and informal dining space. With windows to either side, this space also has characterful beams to the ceiling. A large range of hand-built kitchen cabinetry lines the walls. An Aga sits in the centre of the space with a separate double oven and four ring hob. There is space for a dishwasher under the countertop. A breakfast bar is also built off the counter and provides a good informal dining space.

Pantry
Off the kitchen you find an incredible useful pantry that offers excellent, cool, storage for food and groceries. Slate shelves and original slate salting tables line the walls and provide ideal storage space.

Utility / Boot Room
With a door from the kitchen and another out to the side of the property, this useful room provides excellent storage and another access point to the property. The room offers an additional sink along with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. The spacious room also provides ample storage for coats, boots, and other outdoor equipment.

First Floor Landing
The first floor of the building is served by a landing that winds through the Georgian and original parts of the home. A door splits the two parts of the home which enables them to be closed off if needed. Two staircases serve both sides of the space. The landing connects all the rooms on this level.

Bedroom One
The master bedroom occupies the whole northern end of the building and enjoys windows to three sides with lovely views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. The large bedroom offers ample space for freestanding bedroom furniture and has a handmade built-in storage cupboard in the corner.

Bedroom Two
Situated in Georgian part of the home, this double bedroom is one of the three that look out over the southern side of the estate. Large enough for freestanding bedroom furniture, this room would be ideal for family or house guests and is positioned at the opposite side of the building to the master bedroom.

Bedroom Three
At the opposite end of the Georgian section of the building to bedroom two is another good-sized bedroom. This space enjoys the same outlook and similarly impressive dimensions as bedroom two.

Family Bathroom
This large bathroom is found in the Georgian portion of the home and has a window that looks out to the eastern side of the building. This spacious room offers a roll top bath, large shower enclosure, lavatory, bidet, and hand basin.

Bedroom Four
