Penbryn, Sarnau, Llandysul, Ceredigion, SA44 6QN

A beautifully preserved Grade II listed former farmhouse, full of original features and set in around 1.75 acres of a mixture of manicured grounds and woodlands. All within walking distance to the idyllic National Trust beach of Penbryn and with historical importance as being a C19 farmhouse apparently remodelled in c1920-30 by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis (a Welsh architect known chiefly as the creator of the Italianate village of Portmeirion in North Wales) for his brother Rupert. Originally the property was white-painted and thatched, however the thatch was burnt off in 1939 and the white paint removed c1990.

Penbryn is arguably the most striking of the beaches along this stretch of West Wales coastline. It is completely unspoiled and a haven for wildlife. It is owned and managed by the National Trust which has taken great pains to protect the surrounding natural habitat. As a result, there has been little land development and the existing houses in the Penbryn and Penmorfa valley have been there since the 1800s and early 1900s (and earlier). A short drive takes you to a CKs minimarket at Tanygroes where you can buy essentials, with Cardigan Town only a 20 minute drive away with larger amenities etc.
