ATOUCH OF HOLLYWOOD

HAVE you ever fancied buying a mansion in Beverly Hills but just felt that the allure of west Wales would be too strong for you to make the move across the Atlantic?

Well you could now have the best of both worlds – if you have £1.6m kicking around – because a Hollywood-style five-bed property has come on the market, which is actually a short walk from the centre of New Quay.

The incredible sprawling villa is set in five acres of land which overlooks the west Wales coast, and if you’d rather not go for a dip in Ceredigion Bay, don’t worry, you can just do so in your own private indoor swimming pool and spa.

Described as a “hidden gem” and an “iconic building”, the property is unique in its design and setting, and is accessed via a gated private driveway which leads down to the front door.

Inside, the lower ground floor is home to not just the swimming pool but also a sauna and a games room.

On the main ground floor you will find a large reception hall with classically styled winding staircases which lead to various rooms on different levels, including a carpeted kitchen and breakfast room, a large lounge with French windows leading to a balcony, and a dining room overlooking the grounds and the sea.

There’s also a rear sitting room, a side reception hall and a utility room.

Then, on the mezzanine and first floor levels you’ll find the five double bedrooms – the master of which has an en suite bathroom, a dressing room and access to a covered balcony.

Two of the other bedrooms have “Jack and Jill” bathrooms, one has a dressing area and the other also boasts a covered balcony.

And if you’re really into bathrooms then, the main suite at this house even has a twin-sized whirlpool bath.

Elsewhere along the various levels there is a tiled shower room, a wash room and a plant room, while outside you can expect a large garden that surrounds the whole property, a large pond, a paddock, a stable block and a large greenhouse. And if you ever get bored of hanging around your own compound, there’s also access to a footpath which leads down to New Quay itself and the sea.

It might set you back £1.6m but even at that price, you certainly get a lot for your money in west Wales.

The property is on the market with Morgan & Davies. Call 01545 630980.
