TWO HOMES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE

-

You might have secured a few “Buy One Get One Free” (BOGOF) bargains on Black Friday or Cyber Monday but they surely won’t have been as unusual as this offer. It’s a rare property propositio­n; two homes for the the price of one, sharing one spectacula­r view.

Property one is The Lookout – a super contempora­ry, architectu­rally designed, three-storey new home perched on the hilltop near St Dogmaels with breathtaki­ng panoramic views of the River Teifi estuary below.

For the £1.1m pricetag, you also get a barn next door – and it’s no wreck.

The barn is beautifull­y converted with family bathroom and three bedrooms.

The designs of both properties are centered solely around the amazing views, with all three floors having floor-to-ceiling walls of glass with large sliding doors.

The ground floor has two sets of doors from the vast open-plan living area out onto a choice of sundrenche­d terraces.

On the second floor, the master bedroom has a glass balcony with the most spectacula­r view from the elevated position.

What a spot to enjoy a Sunday morning brunch and scan the 180-degree view of the glorious Pembrokesh­ire countrysid­e.

Even the horses have such an absorbing view from the menage, it might just distract them from their jumping duties.

This dream home has been designed with an intriguing curved “living” roof, made of flowering Sedum and edged with pebbles, attracting daily visits from local birds and insects.

The living roof also provides an effective method of reducing heat loss through the top of the house – like its very own bobble hat!

There is underfloor heating, solar panels, and porcelain tiles.

The internal interior design is highend and modern, using a palette of Farrow and Ball grey tones that complement the anthracite coloured window frames.

An exciting element of the home for a new buyer is that they can choose their own flooring, kitchen units and even staircase, as the current owner is an award-winning builder.

So a dream home in this fabulous location for a budget of around £1.1m might not surprise any house hunters with that budget to spend.

But they may be shocked to discover that the converted barn next door to the new home is included in the sale.

This former stone pigsty is no wreck with no roof and the local hang-out for the rat population – it’s a beautifull­y converted home that also makes the most of the river valley views.

The ground floor is open-plan and has a tasteful country cottage interior design style.

Slick and glossy deep grey kitchen units add a modern flavour to the choice of warm wood and leather furniture, limestone flooring and pockets of characterf­ul exposed stone walls.

But visitors might be side-tracked from appreciati­ng the warm and welcoming decor by the vast double patio doors at the end of the room, allowing the mesmerisin­g view to command attention.

Upstairs in this bonus property there is a family bathroom and three bedrooms.

Again, the home has been designed to ensure the outside is brought inside, with the master bedroom having the most indulgent picture window rising up into the apex of the barn’s roof.

Imagine the challenge of getting out of bed for work on a Monday morning with that enticing view to delay you.

So, what a dilemma for a potential new owner – which of the BOGOF houses to call home? Fantastic problem to mull over.

The Lookout has a vast open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, lower ground gym and games room, four ensuite bedrooms and a master suite that includes a dressing room and balcony.

The barn is a characterf­ul and cosy period property that can claim to have equal view status to its contempora­ry neighbour.

It could also make the ideal Granny annexe or holiday let, if the appropriat­e planning consent is secured.

The barn was converted in 2014 by owner Matthew Greenland, founder of constructi­on company MGL of St Dogmaels and Cardigan.

Matthew and his family lived in the barn whilst he and his team of skilled craftsmen built The Lookout next door.

And just when a buyer might think that two properties for the price of one was a good deal, the sale also comes with four paddocks and planning permission for a large agricultur­al shed containing an internal stable and a large yard area.

If the £1.1m price tag for all that’s on offer is over-budget, then there is flexibilit­y to decrease the amount of land included in the sale, which will bring the sale price down to £925,000.
