When the house was refurbished, the plan was to run it as a bed and breakfast, and the four en suite bedrooms on the first floor and four bedrooms (one en suite) on the second floor, make it an ideal property for such a venture. The Welsh Long House attached to the main building

is divided into two self contained holiday flats; however it would be simple to return them to reception rooms if required.


Upland Mansion is an exquisite Georgian building that stands gracefully in the beautiful Carmarthenshire countryside. The present owners remember how they immediately fell in love with the house,

and the peace and tranquillity of the grounds. It

felt as though they had entered another world.

The house was in need of refurbishment and it

was a labour of love to restore it to its former

glory. Meticulous attention to detail ensured that

original features were maintained, resulting in an

elegant and spacious home, that combined with

the comforts required for modern day living, is a

pleasure to live in.

vendor


The reception rooms are used and enjoyed by the family. The lounge and dining room are flooded with natural light that pours in through the floor to ceiling windows, and the

large, classic proportions of both rooms create a sophisticated yet

highly comfortable ambience. The well equipped kitchen opens

into the dining room and is a large sociable area where family and

friends have enjoyed many chatty meals. The lounge is a delightful

summer room where you can sit and enjoy the view to the garden,

and with a glowing fire it is a winter sanctuary. The conservatory is

perhaps the best place to settle with a morning coffee and relish

the stunning backdrop of vibrant rhododendron bushes just outside

the window and the green splendour of the garden beyond.

ApartmentsThe

Ground Floor First Floor


The Stable block is registered as a Nash building and like the main house is a fine example of Georgian architecture. It is in need of refurbishment but would be a perfect holiday let or rental property. The Cottage, which stands above the house, was originally the home of the

gardener but now provides agreeable two bedroom accommodation. Upland Mansion is a property

with enormous business potential or a marvellous home for extended family living.

The garden and grounds are the jewel in the crown, where colour abounds throughout the seasons. A spring woodland walk is awash with snowdrops, followed by golden daffodils that give

way to rhododendrons and then the colours of summer. The garden is an oasis of utter bliss, whether

walking the dogs across the paddock, enjoying a barbecue, sitting on the decking by the pond, or

sipping a glass of wine under a velvet night sky.

This idyllic setting is under ten miles from Carmarthen and only a few miles from Ferryside where you can buy everyday provisions and is also near safe sandy beaches. The house sits at the

bottom of a tree lined drive and the owners will sorely miss the thrill they get each day when they

return and see the house waiting to welcome them.

HONEYSUCKLE COTTAGEThis detached cottage has one double and one single bedroom The bathroom is equipped with a bath with shower over, wash hand basin, and WC. The sitting room has space for sofas, and for when the weather turns cooler a multi fuel log burner. The kitchen has a useful dining area.

THE COACH HOUSETo the rear of the property is the Coach House which is believed may have been designed by Nash when he retired to South Wales having achieved great glory in London. It has all the symmetry one would expect of high Georgian architecture and although in need of repair, would undoubtedly easily be converted into additional accommodation (subject to the usual planning consents) or perhaps be restored to working stables.
