Mill Lodge, Llandeilo, SA19

Full Description

Old Mill Lodge is an extremely well presented and private, original Lodge House to the renowned Edwinsford Manor Estate. The property is set back about 150 metres from the B4302 and is approached via a tarmac driveway, crossing a private stone bridge over the Mill Stream. The Mill stream is the overflow from the upper and lower Talley lakes adjacent to the Talley Abbey ruins. Old Mill Lodge dates back to 1775 and has been tastefully extended to now be a 2 - 3 bedroom property with a large kitchen with an electric powered Rayburn, a characterful lounge with a stone inglenook fireplace and multifuel stove, a dining room / conservatory, a modern shower room, a utility room and a very useful mud / boot room. It has an upstairs bedroom, a ground floor bedroom and a 3rd bedroom / study on the ground floor The original 1700`s house also benefits from having, in addition, a spacious, modern, very attractive 2 bedroom, fully equipped log cabin. This is currently used as accommodation for family members, but, (subject to planning permission) could potentially be used to generate an income from holiday letting. The 2 dwellings and the many outbuildings (12 in total) sit on approximately2.5 acres with about 3/4 of an acre of level ground on the south bank of the beautiful river Cothi. The river itself sits about 10 feet down the fenced, steep yet sturdy riverbank, with a set of gated steps down to the waters edge at the western end of the riverbank. The 2acres (approx) of woodland are partially marked out on one of the photographs. These woods are bounded by the mill stream on one side and are undulating in nature, with many types of tree varieties, which include, oak, holly, ash, elm, chestnut, birch, rowan, yew, hazel, beech. There is also a "boggy" area included, this is left to nature for the amphibians, reptiles and dragonflies. Both dwellings have mains and solar generated / battery bank electricity, giving all the benefits of cheap, clean power without the expense and complication of a gas, an oil, or a heat source pump boiler system. In addition they both have multifuel stoves, with a seemingly endless supply of logs available on site. From the garden and large parking area there are then 2 separate gates that lead you southwards into approx. 2 acres of sloping deciduous woodland with several pathways guiding you though the nature rich, wooded area. Separately, and adjacent to the driveway there is a natural wildlife pond with Water Lilies, Gunnera Manicata and a seating area, beneath a three hundred year old Yew tree. The garden and the woodlands are stock fenced and gated to create a safe and secure area for your family pets The village of Talley is situated 1 mile south of the property, as well as its famous Abbey ruins it has a village school and a convenient small shop. Further afield, about 8 miles south, is the town of Llandeilo, with its many interesting shops, restaurants, a railway station, schools, a college and the famous Dinefwr Castle Old Mill Lodge is a real "gem" of a property, totally unique, and viewing is essential to appreciate its many fine features.
