Sellers Insight

When we first came to Little Cwm, it was the sense of peace and history that completely won us over,’ say the owners. ‘It feels like its own little estate, tucked away down a quiet lane, yet still connected to a friendly local community.’ ‘We’ve always loved the character of the house,’ they explain. ‘It’s built from stone with a traditional tiled roof, and we made sure any additions, like the oak windows and doors, respected that heritage.’ More recently, they have embraced greener living with photovoltaic panels, an air-source heat pump and an Everhot stove. ‘Little Cwm is warm and cosy, with low running costs – even the electric car is charged on sunshine.’ There are three main bedrooms, plus an annexe room and a separate flat above the garages, which has worked well as a holiday let, but offers great versatility when family visit.’ The gardens and surrounding fields are essential to the character of the property. ’We are proud of our garden,’ they say. ‘It’s mature, and includes ten varieties of magnolia, as well as a productive vineyard, orchard and vegetable garden.’ Beyond this, five acres of pasture, enough to support two or three ponies, and woodland stretch out from the house, with the Dulas Brook running along the south-west boundary. ‘It’s a haven for wildlife – we regularly see kingfishers, dippers and even otters on the stream.’ For the owners, daily life here has been defined by the surroundings. ‘We love sitting in the kitchen in the winter, with the sun streaming in, or out in the courtyard in summer, surrounded by birdsong,’ they say. ‘There’s always something to enjoy, whether it’s the changing seasons or the sheer abundance of wildlife.’ We’ll miss the peace and quiet most of all,’ they reflect. ‘And the walks, the views and the simple pleasure of living so close to nature.’*
