THE APPROACH, PARKING, GARDENS, GROUNDS AND LAND:
THE APPROACH:
The property is approached via a long, tarmacadamed, private driveway that leads
off a country road, which in turn gives access to the A484 road between Saron and
Rhos. The first part of the driveway has shared access with a neighbouring
landowner to access his fields – in the agent’s opinion this does not affect the
privacy of the homestead.
PARKING AREA:
Large concrete parking area situated to the side of the detached brick storage
building.
GROUNDS & LAND:
The buildings are most attractively arranged around courtyards to the fore and
there are lawned gardens and grounds to the rear and side of the farmhouse – the
whole being beautifully landscaped with an eye for pattern, shape, colour and low
maintenance, using slate chippings, stones, paving, bricks, low walls, shrubbery
beds and hedging to great effect. There are lovely seating areas and even a large
tree house to survey the land and surrounding countryside and watch the local
wildlife. We are informed that the property amounts to circa 10 acres in all (to be
confirmed), comprising c.6 acres of very gently sloping, free-draining pastureland
bound by natural hedging and post and rail fencing, and c.4 acres of amenity
woodland being hardwood plantation of oak, ash, birch, etc., with three ponds,
pathways through for relaxing strolls, and a pretty boundary stream (the Nant
Wthan) – all providing a haven for birds and other wildlife.

THE LOCATION:
Saron lies mainly along the A484 road (Carmarthen-Newcastle Emlyn-Cardigan) in the north-eastern part of
Carmarthenshire south of the Teifi River Valley, with farm and pastureland all around. Saron has a primary
school, a general store at a petrol filling station, a village pub, and a country inn at nearby Rhos. Saron Golf
Course is north-west of the property, a pay-and-play 9-hole parkland course with 18 tees set in about 50 acres.
Waunwthan, Saron, Llandysul
Page 26 of 28
Llandysul is 5 miles or so north-easterly on the northern side of the River Teifi, a busy little market town with a
selection of shops, post office, banks, doctor’s and dentist’s services, primary and secondary schools, cafes,
pubs, swimming pool, an ancient church, village hall, playing field and riverside park, together with an angling
association (the river is well known for its trout, sea trout and salmon), and a canoe centre with a white-water
slalom course at Pont Tyweli (on the south side of the river). The river in this area is diverse and lovely, offering
rippling shallows and deep pools, foaming white water and calm woodland stretches. The region around
Llandysul is “woollen mill country”. In bygone days, before electricity, the rushing waters of the Teifi and its
tributaries powered the waterwheels that served the many woollen and flour mills hereabouts.
Newcastle Emlyn is 6 miles north-westerly from the property, also on the banks of the River Teifi, officially in
Carmarthenshire, but joined to Adpar in Ceredigion by a bridge across the river. This quaint old market town has
a good variety of individual shops including antique, craft and book shops, as well as supermarkets, chemists,
banks, post office, town hall, library, schools, theatre and art gallery, leisure centre and swimming pool, tennis
courts and bowling green, football and rugby facilities, doctor’s, dentist’s and optician’s services, restaurants and
cafes, hotels and plenty of pubs. Thursday is market day. The town grew up around a crossing point over the
Teifi, which was favoured as a good defensive site because of the loop in the river here. The ruins of an ancient
castle stand in a picturesque grassland setting overlooking the river on three sides. The castle was probably
founded around 1240, and is the only native Welsh castle built of stone in this region. Pleasant walks can be
enjoyed by the river and around the castle grounds.
Drefach-Felindre is about 2½ miles north-west – two settlements on opposite sides of the River Bargod –
offering a Spar store, post office, chemist, two pubs, primary school, church and a playing field. With its abundant
supply of water power, the village became the hub of the flourishing woollen industry in the 19th Century when it
was famously known as “the Huddersfield of Wales”, with textile factories and about 40 mills in the general
neighbourhood, with waterwheels driven by fast flowing streams and rivers including the Teifi. Many textiles were
produced, including clothing and blankets and, during the First World War, the local weavers supplied strong
flannel fabric for military uniforms. At the edge of the village is the National Woollen Museum, housed in the
former Cambrian Mills, offering information on the history of the industry, and where a working commercial
woollen mill can be seen in action, plus there is a shop, cafe and riverside picnic area.
The Teifi Valley offers delightful places to visit and abundant wildlife. The Teifi Valley Railway is 3½ miles
north-west of the property at Henllan – a narrow gauge steam railway travelling for about 2 miles through lovely
countryside, with superb views of the valley. Cenarth is 8½ miles north-westerly, the centre of coracle fishing for
centuries, and home to the National Coracle Centre, with a workshop showing the history and ancient art of
coracle making together with a museum housing a collection of coracles from Wales and many other countries.
The beautiful Cenarth Falls and Salmon Leaps are nearby, as well as a 200 year old bridge, a 17th Century
flour mill, and a riverside walk and nature trail. Cenarth hosts a river festival each summer. Cilgerran Castle will
be found to the west of Cenarth, 14½ miles from the property, standing on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Teifi, a
charming setting with delightful walks leading down to the riverside. Managed by the National Trust, the
th
13 Century castle is ruinous, although two large towers still remain. Cilgerran famously hosts annual coracle
races in the summertime, an event which began in 1950. The little town was once renowned for the high quality
slate that was mined in the area and exported via Cardigan. The Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve (Welsh Wildlife
Centre) is a couple of miles north-west of Cilgerran, near Cardigan – a superb, 264 acre wildlife site providing
habitats for a variety of flora and fauna among the meadows, woodland, reed beds and marshes, including water
buffalo, otters, water voles, kingfishers, waders, geese, ducks, red kites and buzzards. There is a wood and glass
visitor centre near the river, offering panoramic views. The River Teifi (Queen of Welsh rivers) flows from its
source lake 1500 feet up in the Cambrian Mountains, to journey 70 miles or so down to its estuary at Cardigan.
The river forms the boundary between Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion and some of Pembrokeshire.
Brechfa Forest is 13 or so miles easterly, one of the largest forests in Wales, with walks and tracks for horse
riding and cycling. A stage of the Rally of Great Britain takes place here.
Carmarthen is 14½ miles south, an ancient county town and commercial centre in the Towy River Valley,
offering a blend of traditional and modern shopping amenities with well known stores including Marks & Spencer,
Monsoon, Curry’s, Tesco, Argos, etc., and there is a new Debenhams, Next and a Multi-screen Cinema. The
town has primary and secondary schools, leisure centre with swimming pool, Trinity college university, art
galleries, library, heritage centre, plenty of pubs, clubs, hotels, and restaurants, and the West Wales General
Hospital and County Museum on the outskirts. The town is served by good rail links through Swansea to Cardiff,
and main roads radiate out to all regions, including the A40, A48/M4-link, A484 and A485. The ruins of a Roman
Amphitheatre can still be seen and the remains of a Norman castle overlook the town and the river. Carmarthen’s
18-hole golf course is a mile or so north of town, whilst the celebrated National Botanic Garden of Wales is
about 7 miles east of Carmarthen, featuring the Great Glass House designed by Norman Foster.
Waunwthan, Saron, Llandysul
Page 27 of 28
Cardigan is about 16½ miles north-westerly, an ancient and attractive market town at the north of the
Pembrokeshire Peninsula on the Teifi estuary, having a rich cultural heritage, Georgian and Victorian
architecture, good shopping amenities, indoor market, schools, college, library, leisure centre, swimming pool,
doctors’ surgeries, dentists, small community hospital, cinema/theatre, pubs, hotels, and restaurants, galleries
and craft shops, food festivals, Guildhall, Heritage Centre on the wharf, and the remains of a 12th Century
Norman castle overlooking the river. Historically, Cardigan was the chief town of the old Welsh kingdom of
th
th
Deheubarth. In the 11 and 12 Centuries it changed hands between the Welsh and the invading Normans
several times. In 1176 at a time when the Welsh held power, the very first Eisteddfod took place at the castle.
The famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Trail begins at nearby St. Dogmell's, running to Amroth in the south, a
distance of about 186 miles along the dramatic and beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline.Cardigan’s 18-hole Golf
Course just north of town offers stunning views over the sea and estuary.
The Cardigan Coastal Farm Park is also north of town, an island Nature Reserve, where seals, dolphins and
sea birds can be seen. The secluded cove of Mwnt is near here, with an ancient little church above the beach,
once a resting place for pilgrims en route to Bardsey Island at the northern tip of Cardigan Bay. The Preseli
Mountains lie to the south of Cardigan, famous for being the source of the Bluestones of Stonehenge, for
magical legends of Merlin and King Arthur, and for beauty spots such as the oak-clad Gwaun Valley.
Cardigan Bay is famous for grey seals, bottlenose and common dolphins, porpoises, abundant bird life,
exhilarating walks, clean sandy beaches and delightful coves and harbours. Llangrannog is 14½ miles from the
property northerly, set in a lovely cove with two beaches, a waterfall, and a Dry Ski Slope nearby. Jutting out to
sea beyond Llangrannog is the National Trust headland of Ynys-Lochtyn, a splendid bird-watching site where
rare choughs can be seen, along with many other species. Penbryn is nearby with nearly a mile of sands owned
by the National Trust neighbouring Tresaith with a picturesque waterfall tumbling over the cliffs to the beach.
New Quay is 17 miles north, with wide sandy beaches and a sheltered harbour, popular with holidaymakers and
sailing and water sports enthusiasts. The New Quay Cliff Walk climbs steeply above the town giving fabulous
views from the top, and there are plenty of boat trips for dolphin-watching. The charming old smugglers’ cove of
Cwmtydu is near New Quay, where basking seals can sometimes be seen on the rocks.
The larger resort of Aberaeron is 20 miles north-westerly, a Georgian port town with notable architecture, good
shopping and craft centres, a harbour, and the National Trust 18th Century Llanerchaeron Estate on the
outskirts in the lovely Aeron valley. In Pembrokeshire, the glorious sand-duned beach of Poppit Sands is about
21 miles north-westerly, beyond Cardigan and St. Dogmell’s, ideal for water sports and bird watching, and
Newport is 25 miles westerly, in a lovely seaside situation at the foothills of the Preseli Hills.
