Description
The proximity of Cliff House to two of Wales’s most significant literary structures in Dylan Thomas’s boathouse and writing shed, would be enough of a selling point for many homes. However, the unbelievable setting this property enjoys, with one of the finest estuary and sea views you are ever likely to witness, manages to overshadow its illustrious neighbours. In addition to this stunning setting, Cliff House offers lavish accommodation over four floors, with the option of a self-contained apartment on the top level. Every principal room in the property enjoys breathtaking views over the Taf estuary, where the ever changing seascape will mesmerise owners and their guests alike. Cliff House is a truly remarkable opportunity to purchase a property that has only changed owners three times in the last hundred years.
Approaching the property, you pass through stone pillared gates and arrive in a large parking area, which leads into a wonderful terraced seating area which runs along the front of the home. From here you would be forgiven for thinking you are approaching a stately Italian villa on the shores of Lake Como, with the terraced gardens running downhill and offering you a surprising level of peace and privacy while you take in the stunning views over the water. On the ground floor of the home, you find the entrance hall, large double garage, and a flexible utility/storage room.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor you arrive on the entertaining level of the home. This floor offers an opulent drawing room, central living room, kitchen, and sunroom with a cloakroom to the rear. A wooden balcony runs along the front and side of the home with doors from each of the principal rooms to create the perfect space to bask in the south facing aspect and wonder at the beautiful vista in front of you.
The second floor contains three double bedrooms, including the dual aspect master suite with its dressing room and ensuite bathroom. A recently renovated family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level. Every room on this level enjoys views of the water.
Climbing the stairs to the top floor of the property you enter a space that has previous been used as a self-contained apartment, with its own private access to the rear. If required, the space could easily be utilised in this way, or could add additional accommodation to the main home. Its current floorplan offers two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen/dining room and living room, but this could easily be reconfigured to add three or even four further bedrooms to the home below. The flexibility offered by this level of the building adds a huge selling point to Cliff House.
The literary connection for this home does not stop with its proximity to Dylan’s boat house and writing shed, both of which are clearly visible from the house and gardens. The renowned writer Kingsley Amis who wrote his Booker Prize winning novel The Old Devils in the property. The home also offers beautiful terraced gardens, ample parking and another rarity in the village; a mooring in the estuary below.
Cliff House is located in the beautiful village of Laugharne on banks of the estuary of the River Taf. The town exudes charm with its independent shops, pubs, scenic walks, and stunning views. At its heart, Laugharne features a castle dating back to the 13th century, though it may be older. The town also has a bilingual primary school and is situated about 13 miles from the county town of Carmarthen and roughly 4 miles from St Clears and has easy access to the A40 trunk road leading to the east.
This simply stunning position would be enough for any property to be of interest to any viewer, however when paired with the exceptional space and accommodation on offer with Cliff House the proposition becomes unmissable. When combined with the cultural significance of this setting, along with its location in this popular coastal community, Cliff House represents a fantastic opportunity for a buyer.
