A very special and beautifully situated property approx. 14 acre country property with four bedroom chalet style house within a walled garden, outbuildings, extensive and well-stocked grounds and outriding in nearby Brechfa Forest

The walled garden at Glangwilli Lodges dates from the 18th / Early 19th Century and was originally the fruit and vegetable garden for the neighbouring Glangwilli Mansion. The current property was built in 2002/3 within the walled garden. Around the property have been planted over 800 trees and shrubs with diverse collections of Japanese Maple, Oak, Conifer and Magnolia, along with fruit trees and other trees. The gardens are currently opened annually for the NGS and are largely self-sufficient with fruit and vegetables. Trees on the Estate are propagated for replacements and used for timber for building and fuel. Most of the plant collections are propagated to sustain the gardens and the vendors have been working to increase the diversity of planting in the wildlife areas, which now have large numbers of birds, mammals insects, reptiles and amphibians. The vendors also utilise part of the main barn as an open loose box for their horse and have enjoyed beautiful outriding in nearby Brechfa Forest over the past nineteen years.
Situated to the north of Carmarthen, the property enjoys a lovely rural location with superb views and low light pollution, which is excellent for astronomy.
