Ferryside, Carmarthenshire, SA17

Attractive coastal property enjoying stunning views over the River Taf, River Towy and River Gwendraeth estuaries and Carmarthen Bay.

Description

The Old Vicarage as the names suggests is a property that was a former vicarage that has been extended and re-configured over time to provide a family home. It is situated in an elevated coastal position enjoying stunning ever-changing views over the estuaries of the River Taf (that flows past Laugharne), the River Towy that flows past Ferryside and the River Gwendraeth that flows through KIdwelly and their meeting point with the expanse of Carmarthen Bay. On a clear day one can see the Pembrokeshire and Gower coast. The property offers generous modern accommodation space with the scope to add a fourth bedroom on the first floor if required (stp – subject to planning). The property sits in large grounds and gardens of about 1.28 acres (stms – subject to measured survey) with no near neighbours. The regional railway line runs below the property along the coastline.
