Napier Gardens, Cardigan, Ceredigion, SA43 1EG

This individually designed 1960s bungalow set in just over 2 acres right in the heart of Cardigan offers a rare combination of style, setting and scope. Tucked away behind its own private driveway in the centre of Cardigan, this 1960s architect-designed bungalow sits within grounds measuring just over two acres. Designed with a distinctive retro style that carries through both the layout and the finishes, the property offers something that’s rarely found – space, character and seclusion, right in town.

Approached through a private entrance off the main road, the drive opens out to a generous parking area with a carport that comfortably takes over six vehicles. The layout of the home is thoughtfully considered, with the main entrance leading into a wide hallway. Off to one side is the kitchen diner and to the other, the main lounge.

The lounge is open plan and features a wall of windows along one side with sliding patio doors, bringing in plenty of natural light and offering garden views. The original design touches have been retained here, including wood-panelled walls and ceilings, and a painted brick wall with a fireplace that provides a focal point. The open layout flows around the back of the fireplace into the dining space, keeping the whole living area connected while still giving each part of the room a defined function.

The kitchen is fitted with a bold red retro suite of base and wall units, a feature that nods back to the property’s design roots. There’s a one and a half sink with a drainer beneath a part-glazed door that leads out to the rear garden. Appliances include an eye-level electric oven, built-in dishwasher, and space and plumbing for a washing machine. Original wood panelling continues in this room, creating a sense of cohesion throughout the living spaces.
