Description    Introducing Bryn y Cadno, a charming abode whose name translates to 'Hill of the Fox'. As you turn into the private lane leading to Bryn y Cadno, you'll be immediately captivated by the serene beauty of its surroundings. The lane, adorned with snowdrops, crocuses, and later daffodils along the riverbank, offers a picturesque journey. Come spring, the wooded areas burst into carpets of native bluebells, adding to the enchantment

The substantial 6 bedroom farmhouse sits comfortably within over 20 acres of mixed grounds including pasture, woodland and the Nant Cwm-Cyfyng river running though with its pretty hump backed stone bridge connecting with the land on the opposite banks. The sellers have capitalised on the serene setting over recent years by creating a camping field in one of the riverside paddocks.

.    The main residence offers extensive accommodation with six bedrooms and three to four rooms. One of the wings would make a perfect annex or potential holiday let if a purchaser was seeking an opportunity for an additional income.

It is the land that will be the appeal too many, with glorious woodland, pasture, gardens, orchards and attractive wildlife pond. This diverse area has something to suit most, whether that is livetsock, ponies or simply enjoyment of the natural habitat and the privacy that the land affords.

..    The farmstead of Bryn y Cadno has a long and interesting history dating back to the 16th century (1594) with buildings and associated structures forming a group of very distinctive character. The layout of the farmhouse is derived from a longhouse plan with the well preserved cow house on the other side of the stream of an even earlier date. Material in the National Library references the history of Bryn-y-Cadno back over 400 years and gives good reason to suppose that Bryn y Cadno is medieval in origin.

Location    Located in the community of Capel Issac, one of the most sought after regions of Carmarthenshire. It is conveniently situated for the popular market town of Llandeilo, about 3 miles, where there is a great range of local shops along with primary and secondary schooling.

The County town of Carmarthen is about 16 miles where there is a more comprehensive choice of shopping facilities and the M4 at Pont Abraham about 10 miles providing great access across south Wales and beyond.

Walk Inside    A traditional open porch guides you to the main hallway, where a staircase ascends to the first floor. To the left, discover a stunning sitting room boasting an exposed stone wall, complete with a recessed fireplace with woodburning stove and an inviting slate hearth. An impressive stoned capped shelf divides the space, creating a charming study area within the room. On the opposite side of the hallway, a further living room awaits, featuring exposed wooden beams and a deep recess fireplace with a characterful bread oven and gas stove (currently non-operational). Serving as the heart of the home, the kitchen offers a range of fitted floor and wall units, complemented by a ceramic tiled floor, a two-oven oil-fired Aga, and a traditional ceiling beam

.    The secondary entrance hall offers ample opportunity for customisation, with potential for subdivision. Accessed from here are practical amenities including a utility room and ground floor toilet, as well as a study in turn leading to an additional sitting room, which could serve as an AirBnB annex, with sevice provisions understood to be in place for a small corner kitchen. Adjacent to this area is a ground floor bedroom suite comprising a generously sized double bedroom and a spacious wet room equipped with a shower, WC, and wash hand basin. Completing the ground floor level is a garden room with a ceramic tiled floor and French doors leading to the front, offering the possibility of separate access.

..    Access to the first floor is facilitated by two main staircases, with the main landing situated in the older section of the property. From here, access is provided to two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom complete with WC, wash basin, and a panelled bath. The larger of the three bedrooms features its own ensuite bathroom adorned in avocado green, equipped with WC, wash basin, and a panelled bath with shower over. A further staircase leads to the second landing which can also be approached via a door from the larger bedroom, granting access to two additional double bedrooms and a shower room featuring WC, wash basin, and a shower cubicle. Additionally, a further door from one of the bedrooms opens into two sizable rooms currently utilised for storage.

Walk Outside    The property enjoys a cluster of traditional buildings, one of which is thought to date back as much as 400 years. The main buildings include the former Cowshed, a large stone built structure; the Stable block, also of stone construction with three stables and the Cart Shed, an open ended stone building.

The Land    The land amounts to just over 21 acres or thereabouts as a mixture of level grassed paddocks, woodland, meadows, a natural lake all intersected by a small river that adds to the charm of this wonderful home.

The gardens have been well cared for with a series of vegetable beds, mature shrubs and large areas of lawns.

NOTES    A number of public footpaths cross the property.
