Pencader, Wales SA39 9EH

Available only for the second time since the early 1970s Blaen Nant Gwyn, incorporating Brechfa Forest Barns, is a very special property sited on an acre plot comprising a detached, traditional Welsh long house and converted barns situated on Llanllwni Mountain. At 1000ft the property offers uninterrupted views over the stunning Carmarthenshire countryside. The property is thought to be 250 plus years old and has some important historical significance with a dwelling on this very plot mentioned in the Dooms Day Book. The current owners took the property on in 2009, having been featured on BBC1s Escape to the Country, and have made major improvements to create a beautiful property and a very popular holiday cottage business - so much so they were invited to appear in BBC1s I Escaped to the Country in 2017 to showcase their success. Jules Hudson remains an enthusiastic advocate having brought his own family on holiday to enjoy this slice of Welsh paradise. Blaen Nant Gwyn has been transformed into a wonderful home and, with a full renovation in 2017, the current owners have successfully married the best of traditional with modern to make the very most of this unique property whilst maintaining its heritage. This stone Welsh long house comprises three bedrooms, two of which are ensuite. The master ensuite includes a large shower and roll-top bath and a walk-in wardrobe. The guest ensuite has a walk-in shower, sink and toilet. There is an additional bedroom/office downstairs. From the hallway is an additional bathroom with shower, sink, toilet and laundry area. The kitchen is tastefully presented with a hand built shaker style kitchen. The renovation included opening up the lounge to make an impressive galleried landing with attractive spiral staircase making for a pleasing open, light and airy feel. The true gem of this property is the addition of a large conservatory adjoining the lounge and kitchen, flooding natural light and taking in the large, well-stocked garden whilst showcasing the scenery beyond. The conservatory is currently laid out as an additional lounge area and dining space. There is a wonderful feel of bringing the inside and outside together and being at one with nature of which there is an abundance. The conservatory leads out onto an area with outside dining table. Beyond is an outdoor kitchen/diner/lounge on a large decking protected by a roofed pergola. The outside kitchen comes complete with large Kamado cooker, pizza oven plus dual BBQ. The hand built dining table seats six and the lounge houses comfortable garden furniture, a gas fire table and wood stove. The views from here are truly spectacular making this a very special space. The owners have installed a covered seven seater hot tub in a position to enjoy the scenery. In a spot that seems made for it under the trees at the bottom of the garden, is a fantastic hobbit house style BBQ Hut that can easily seat up to ten guests. This area is enclosed by picket fencing and also has its own outside seating and dining table/chairs. There is a large gravelled, fenced yard for the private parking of several cars including a two-car car port and a lovely oak framed porch covering the entrance to the property. CCTV has been installed and Starlink ensures excellent wifi for all of the properties on site. There is ample parking outside the cottages and this area also houses a large detached building, completed in 2014, half of which is a double-garage (currently used as a bike maintenance and storage area) including a utility room with washing machine, tumble drier and additional freezer for guests to use. The other half has been partially converted into a home pub with wood burning stove and is currently used as storage. Brechfa Forest Barns has been running successfully for over 14 years marketed as totally dog friendly holiday accommodation. Lock-down provided time to create a project that has proved an important asset to the business. Scentral Bark is a dog park
