A traditional West Wales cottage newly renovated with sustainability in mind, Nant-y-Bargoed enjoys a peaceful position on a dead-end lane in a quiet and secluded wooded valley. A stream runs to the front, and there is good country walking from the door. The interior is simple, and comfortable with under-floor heating via a biomass boiler, a very efficient woodburner, and an open fire. Only a handful of neighbours use the lane that passes to the front. Halfway between Carmarthen and Cardigan, there is plenty to explore locally or head out (around 35 mins) to the beaches of Ceredigion or Pembrokeshire. Extra photos here.
