Property Summary
Cilpost Farm is an exceptional property set at the end of a long, private drive in the glorious Carmarthenshire countryside. This characterful complex incorporates a nine-bedroom period farmhouse, an indoor swimming pool as well as a separate five bed cottage, all set within around six acres of beautiful gardens, paddock, woodlands and grounds.Situated only a 20 minute drive from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park with its beautiful beaches and stunning coastal path this complex offers the opportunity, if desired, to take over a thriving holiday let with bookings throughout the year. The entire Farmhouse contents are available for purchase, if desired, to facilitate a seamless continuation of the holiday let enterprise.
The main house has two entrance halls, one from the garden and one from the main parking area. There is a spacious farmhouse kitchen with solid wood units, granite worktops, built in appliances and Rangemaster oven. There are two dining areas, separated by a beautiful stone archway. One dining room seats up to 24 people comfortably and the second up to 10. There are three interconnecting living rooms, one with an impressive inglenook fireplace and log burner, with views onto the garden and grounds. Downstairs also benefits from a utility room, two cloakrooms, a drying room and a storage room. Upstairs offers versatile sleeping accommodation on two wings with 9 bedrooms, two with ensuite shower rooms and three with ensuite bathrooms with shower over bath, and a newly fitted family bathroom. One of the bedrooms has access down stairs to the garden and pool.
The Coach House/Stables cottage, converted from farm buildings, has heaps of charm and warmth with its stone walls and wooden beams. Originally two separate units, it now functions as one, but could easily be returned to two separate dwellings. Downstairs is a newly fitted open plan kitchen/diner with built in hob, double Neff oven and granite worktops. A double doorway leads to a utility and living space. Upstairs is accessed via 2 staircases and offers 5 bedrooms and two bathrooms. This cottage could be used as an owners/manager's accommodation, holiday cottage(s) or separate accommodation for multi-generational living.
Central heating and hot water for both houses and the swimming pool is provided by renewable energy with guaranteed Renewable Heat Incentive payments to June 2035. Both properties are double glazed throughout.
Sellers Insight
This exceptional property, which incorporates a nine-bedroom period farmhouse with indoor swimming pool as well as a separate five-bedroom house, all set within seven acres of beautiful garden and grounds, occupies an enviable location in the glorious Carmarthenshire countryside. “For us, purchasing Cilpost Farm back in 2015 was a real lifestyle change,” say the owners. “We saw it as an amazing opportunity to live in a very beautiful part of the UK, somewhere where we could enjoy a slower pace of life and the great outdoors, while also being able to run what has since become a thriving holiday-rental business.”
“When we bought the property, the smaller of the two houses was split into two dwellings so we knocked through and converted it into one, and that is where we lived for a number of years.. The holiday let (sleeps up to 22 people) has families and groups of friends coming back year after year, not only because of this stunning setting, but also because the house itself is very spacious and has such a homely feel throughout, and there are lots of rooms big enough for large parties of guests to all be together, but equally there are several lounges so people can really spread out. Another huge draw has been the swimming pool, which we keep up to a good temperature all year round. It means there’s no real seasonality; guests love to come all year round.”
“The setting and stunning gardens and grounds are definitely standout features of the property. It’s a very peaceful place, one with an almost restorative quality. While we were living here we relished the fact that on a whim we could head off on a long walk or bike ride, or take ourselves down the coastal path for a breezy stroll by the sea. It’s a glorious part of the country, perfect for a holiday rental, and there’s so much scope to expand the business. However, the new owners might simply decide to make this their home. The possibilities are endless, and that’s the real beauty of the property.”
“The farmhouse has a lovely lounge with a huge inglenook fireplace. After a long wintery walk it’s a really lovely place to settle down in, particularly when the fire is roaring away.”
“At Cilpost Farm you really do feel miles from anywhere, and being surrounded by nature is what we’ve always loved about it. However, it’s also just a mile from Whitland, which is a little town with a good selection of shops and amenities, and it’s only ten minutes from the major road network so it’s very accessible.”
“This is a fantastic place for big get-togethers, as we found with our own extended family. People come from far and wide for their summer holidays, Christmas celebrations, New Year’s Eve, half terms, as well as weekends any time of the year.
“Our circumstances have changed and so we’re not able to be as hands on with the business as we used to be, therefore we feel that the time is right to move on and let someone else enjoy owning this amazing property,” say the owners.
