About The PropertyLocated about 2 miles north of Peterston Super Ely, Llanwensan Fach is a detached, period farmhouse understood to date from the 17th century. The accommodation has organically grown over time and comprehensively refurbished and modernised just over a decade ago, retaining its Georgian character and providing an elegant, understated stylish home.
A centrally positioned front door leads into the ground floor hallway from which a staircase leads to the first floor and tiled floor extends into the family snug and through into an inner hallway. The largest reception room, a family lounge, is to the south western corner of the property with a shuttered sash window to the front elevation. It has, as a focal feature, a wood burning stove resting on a raised hearth within the exposed stone chimney breast; the woodblock flooring is a fabulous honey colour. A connecting door links to the kitchen/breakfast room. A second, smaller family sitting room also looks to the front elevation and again features shuttered windows to the front elevation and a wood burning stove, the exposed stone chimney breast flanked by bespoke storage units. The kitchen-breakfast room is a wonderful space to the rear of the property having double width doors opening to an amazingly sheltered, west facing patio garden, perfectly placed to catch the afternoon and evening sun and ideal for alfresco dining. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of hand-crafted solid wooden units with matching central island and light granite work surfaces throughout. Appliances, where fitted, are to remain and include twin ‘Neff’ ovens, hob, separate microwave / grill / warming drawer combination and an integral dishwasher.
