High Street, St Clears, Carmarthen, SA33

One of the oldest properties in St Clears, Hen Gardde dates back to 1697 and offers charming accommodation spread over four floors. The home is presented for sale in very good order, with the added benefit of being offered chain free. While the property is packed with charming character features, it has the benefit of not being listed, which is rare in a building of this age. Hen Gardde enjoys good views of the surrounding countryside and benefits from a large garden, detached double garage and ample parking. The home is also very well positioned for easy access not only to the coastline at nearby Laugharne but also to the A40, allowing for convenient travel to Pembrokeshire to the west and the M4 corridor to the east.

Continuing towards the rear of the property, you find another large reception space to your left, which enjoys a triple aspect and a feature fireplace on the far wall. A third reception room completes the accommodation on the ground floor. Currently used as a home office, this space could also make an ideal formal dining room. Heading down the stairs to the lower level of the home, you find a very large kitchen which enjoys a central island and offers ample cabinetry and fitted appliances. Opening off this space, you find the spacious conservatory and another good-sized reception room. A door from the kitchen leads into a spacious utility room which also contains a handy cloakroom.

The staircase leads up to the second floor of the property, which contains another two bedrooms, both enjoying elevated views to the rear, a cloakroom, shower room and a statement bathroom with a freestanding bathtub looking out towards the south of the home.

Externally, the property enjoys a large, gated driveway with ample parking for numerous vehicles. The drive leads to a detached double garage which provides excellent storage and workspace. Surrounding the property, you find lawned gardens with mature boundaries. There are several spacious seating areas, including a raised deck on the southern elevation of the property. The gardens offer a secure and private outdoor space for the owners.
