Description
Number 3 Highmead Cottages: A Historic Gem in Tranquil Surroundings
Nestled within the historic Highmead Estate, No. 3 Highmead Cottages is a charming end-of-terrace stone cottage that seamlessly blends period character with modern comfort. This delightful property offers three spacious bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom with a W/C downstairs, all set against a backdrop of serene countryside vistas.
Constructed in 1777 by Herbert Evans, the Highmead Estate has a rich history that adds to the allure of this unique home. Originally built as a mansion on the estate of his mother, Elizabeth Lloyd, Highmead has witnessed centuries of Welsh heritage. The estate later transformed into a boarding school in 1956, known as Highmead School, before eventually closing in 1996. Today, the estate’s storied past enhances the character and charm of its residences.
The property boasts its own independent driveway, ensuring ample parking for residents and guests alike. The sunny disposition of the cottage enhances its warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Despite its peaceful rural location, No. 3 Highmead Cottages is conveniently situated just a 5-minute drive from the village of Llanybydder. Additionally, the towns of Lampeter and Llandysul are a mere 15-minute drive away, offering a range of amenities including shops, restaurants, and doctors surgeries.
For those yearning for coastal adventures, the picturesque seaside town of New Quay is only a 30-minute drive from the property. Known for its sandy beaches and vibrant harbour, New Quay offers opportunities for dolphin watching, boating, and enjoying fresh seafood at local eateries. It’s an ideal destination for day trips and seaside relaxation.
