Looking for a substantial Edwardian Country Residence with an original, converted coach house, beautiful period detail, around 1.06 acres and far-reaching views towards the coast at Penbryn? Trewylan is a very appealing package, combining a handsome five bedroom main house, a separate two bedroom coach house, generous garaging and gardens that give this part of West Wales a real sense of space and setting.
Trewylan is a well-proportioned Edwardian country house with a real sense of arrival, approached via a sweeping tree-lined driveway from a country lane. Set within around 1.06 acres, the property includes a five bedroom main house, a converted two bedroom coach house, garage block and established gardens, all enjoying views across the surrounding countryside towards the coast at Penbryn.
Dating from the early 20th century, the house retains many original features including encaustic tiled flooring, parquet floors, timber doors with panelling, coving, picture rails and fireplaces. Most windows have been upgraded to sash-style double glazing, helping with efficiency while keeping the overall character.
The main entrance is through a side porch leading into an impressive hallway with parquet flooring and a staircase to the first floor. From here, doors lead to the principal reception rooms. The library to the front works well as a sitting room or home office, while the lounge is a comfortable main living space with a bay window, fireplace and access through to the conservatory.
The conservatory sits to the front of the house with tiled flooring, glazing on all sides and doors opening out to the garden. The dining room has a more traditional feel with quarry tiled flooring, a wood burning stove and an original servant bell still in place, along with access to the kitchen and side hall.
Details Continued: - The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and retains its practical layout, with space for freestanding appliances and access out to the rear porch and courtyard. Beyond this are a series of useful rooms including a laundry room, utility, gardening room and additional store with WC, offering excellent space for day-to-day use, storage or hobbies.
The ground floor also includes a shower room and access to a cellar, which still houses the original (non-working) boiler and provides useful additional space.
Upstairs, the main landing leads to three principal bedrooms, all good-sized rooms with original fireplaces, along with an en-suite to the main bedroom. A separate bathroom and WC sit just off the landing, while a further corridor leads to two additional bedrooms, likely forming part of the original staff accommodation. This area offers flexibility for family use, workspace or guest rooms.
The Coach House - The Coach House is a valuable addition, offering a fully self-contained two bedroom property. On the ground floor is a kitchen with space for dining, a lounge/diner with wood burning stove and access to the garden, and a utility room with WC. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a shower room, with the second bedroom arranged as two connected spaces, allowing for use as a bedroom with dressing area or home office.
The Garages - The garages are arranged as one double and one single, linked internally and accessed via three up-and-over doors. Together they offer space for three vehicles along with general storage, workshop use or hobby space. Behind them is a lean-to greenhouse, another useful addition for anyone interested in growing produce or making the most of the garden.
Externally: - Outside, the grounds are a big part of the appeal. The sweeping gravel drive runs down to the house and around to the rear and on towards the Coach House, giving easy access and generous parking for both. A lawned area sits beside the drive with fruit trees and mature hedging, along with plenty of room for seating or further garden use. There is also a summer house and access to the garage block.
To the front of the house, the formal gardens suit the age and style of the property very well. These open into a wider lawned area bordered by established planting and mature boundaries. A path leads through to another part of the garden with a former pigsty, raised pond and further mature beds and boundaries. From here the views open out nicely towards Penbryn and the sea beyond, which is a real bonus in this part of Cardigan Bay.
To the rear of the main house is a smaller courtyard with the former well still in place, though no longer in use. Beyond that, the grounds move naturally towards the Coach House garden, which is mostly lawn with a smaller courtyard outside the utility room door, a very usable spot for sitting out or dining.
Overall, Trewylan is a property with a lot more substance than first impressions alone might suggest. The main house has the scale, detail and layout expected of a Victorian country house, while the Coach House, garages, gardens and history all add to the sense that this is a complete holding rather than simply a house with extras. The coastal outlook towards Penbryn, the mature setting and the connection to the wider landscape of West Wales make it even more appealing.
For anyone looking for a period home with flexibility, original character, separate accommodation and a setting that still feels closely tied to the countryside and coast of Cardigan Bay, Trewylan is well worth a closer look. Please get in touch to arrange a viewing.
