Summary
Enjoying a truly impressive position surrounded by fifteen acres of its own land, Pantygrwndy Fawr is a wonderful property with huge amounts of character. Originally dating back to the early to mid-1700s, the property was extended with a Georgian era addition which added a two storey wing to the property. Currently standing as a six bedroom, four reception room home, this stunning property is a truly unique offering on the market. In addition to the expansive internal dimensions, neighbouring the main home is a huge square of unconverted barns, outbuildings, and workshops. These buildings offer an unprecedented opportunity to convert, subject to planning, to either a large number of letting units, additional residential properties, or a business enterprise. The elevated position of the buildings also gives commanding views over the countryside and back towards 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.

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.
