THE PROPERTY
We sold Gwarthegva Barn to the current fastidious owners in 2020, since when they have set about improving and fine tuning it to exacting standards. They have absolutely loved living here and will miss it but the lure of family and grandchildren will mean a move ‘out of County’, and a remarkable opportunity for the new owner of Gwarthegva Barn.Gwarthegva Barn is beautifully positioned, tucked into the corner of this outstanding small collection of 3 converted barns all of which are so individual and exquisitely finished and whose origins date back to the 1600s. The conversion was undertaken by well-known and highly respected local craftsman Richard Winfrey with much evidence of his skill throughout the property.The accommodation is very well proportioned and beautifully conceived with entrance into a 2015 bult David Salisbury conservatory and old flagstone floored hallway with staircase to the first floor and doors to the sitting room and lovely kitchen/dining room. There are three bedrooms upstairs with vaulted beamed ceilings and the superb master room with en suite. The sitting room measures a healthy 23' x 14' plus, has a beamed ceiling, fine fireplace with 'Clearview' stove and access via French doors out onto the terrace and garden. We love the sociable hand-built kitchen and dining room with partially exposed stonework, granite worktops, and three windows to the courtyard.From here, a doorway leads through to Cider Press Cottage the self-contained annexe whose accommodation could easily be incorporated into the main house or used for income or a dependent relative perhaps. It is obvious that Gwarthegva Barn has been thoughtfully designed where so much is bespoke, handmade and unconventional, in a very good way. The approach from the unspoilt country lane leads onto a farm driveway which culminates at Gwarthegva Barn, where there is a double carport, large slate roofed garage and plenty of space to park.Beside the house is a lawned garden with generous terrace made of quality wooden effect composite and accessible via French doors from the sitting room. Cider Press Cottage has access to its own area of south facing terrace. Rarely do homes like this become available with such a special blend of location and surroundings combined with quality and character - wholeheartedly recommended by the owner's sole agents.
