NESTLED in a Carmarthen­shire village is an expansive mansion sitting within 1.8 acres of land that’s cheaper than a four-bedroom home in Cardiff.

The Georgian-style mansion, in Llangunnor, on the outskirts of Carmarthen, comes with five double bedrooms and a guest wing with plenty of room for family and friends with a further four en suite rooms.

You could even treat guests to a cooloff in the pool, with planning permission already granted for an indoor swimming pool.

The secluded home is set within 1.8 acres of landscaped gardens and boasts stunning views across the Lower Towy Valley, all while being just a short drive from Carmarthen’s town centre.

With a £1,350,000 price tag, the elegant mansion is cheaper than a one four-bedroom family home that’s currently for sale in Cardiff.

Heading inside the Carmarthen­shire abode, your attention will instantly be grabbed by the feature patterned Ruabon tiled floor before being swiftly guided into the grand dining hall/function room.

Here you will notice the feature solid oak-clad steel columns, in a ‘columnade’ style, as well as the strikingly wide solid oak staircase that leads up to an impressive galleried balcony landing. There’s also a home office downstairs which benefits from a Victorian-style fireplace.

You will be able to admire the views across the lower Towy Valley from the sitting room which comes with a Georgian-style fireplace with a marble hearth. The nearby family room also makes the most of the surroundin­g views, while both rooms have underfloor heating.

The living room comprises a feature oak-beamed ceiling and coving, replicatin­g the mansion’s original features, and has French doors leading out onto the sun terrace where you can relax and enjoy the stunning scenery.

Ruabon tiled flooring also appears in the traditiona­l kitchen, which comes with an Aga, a larder fridge and a range of fitted, handmade, bespoke kitchen units with French oak fronts. From here you will find the side entrance hall, with a staircase leading to the guest wing, and the utility room with plenty of room for fitted appliances.

Upstairs, you will be impressed by the galleried balcony landing with oak stair spindles that are an exact copy of the ones that existed in the mansion.

The five double bedrooms all benefit from underfloor heating, while three have en suite bathrooms. The master bedroom also boasts a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, while the en suite comes with an oval bathtub, shower and fully tiled walls.

In the second and third double bedrooms, not only are there stunning views

of the surroundin­g area but there are even walk-in wardrobes in addition to the en suites, while the family bathroom has ceramic tiled flooring, a shower bath and a hand basin.

The guest wing is accessed from the side entrance hall and is made up of four additional bedrooms that all come with en suites. Nearby in the leisure wing, there’s planning permission for a substantia­l indoor swimming pool.

Heading outside, the property is surrounded by landscaped grounds which include a paved entrance drive and a large forecourt with plenty of room for multiple cars to park, in addition to the double garage.

The property is described by estate agents Gerald R Vaughan as a “unique and distinctiv­e” Georgian-style mansion and it’s not hard to see why.

The property is on the market for £1,350,000, call Gerald R Vaughan Estate Agents on 01267 220424.
