Inside Plas Pentre Cefn Court
Five Bedrooms with Flexibility and Character
The layout is ideal for families or those needing space to spread out. Whether you’ve got teenagers craving privacy or relatives coming to stay, every room feels generous and welcoming.
A Ground-Floor Suite Designed for Accessibility
One of the standout features is the ground-floor en suite bedroom. Recently redecorated, it’s perfect for guests, older family members, or even as a home office away from the hustle of family life.
The Perfect Family Kitchen for Entertaining
The heart of the home is its expansive kitchen-dining space – open-plan, bathed in natural light, and connected directly to a large terrace. Perfect for weekend breakfasts or summer BBQs with views of the garden.
Elegant Bathrooms with a Touch of Luxury
Upstairs, the principal en suite boasts a roll-top bath and walk-in shower. A modern family bathroom and two other bedrooms with built-in wardrobes add functionality without sacrificing charm.
Outside Living – Nature, Space, and Sustainability
0.68 Acres of Lovingly Designed Grounds
Step outside to find what feels like your own private ecosystem: a sweeping lawn, wildflower meadows, a productive veg patch, and a chicken coop. It’s a haven for kids, gardeners, and anyone who wants a slice of countryside living.
Productive Garden and Orchard Lifestyle
Whether you’re harvesting from the vegetable beds, pottering in the greenhouse, or picking apples from the orchard, there’s joy to be found in every corner of the garden.
Workshop Potential and Outbuilding Opportunities
A brick and stone outbuilding currently serves as a workshop, but with a little imagination (and planning permission), it could become a studio, guest annexe, or workspace.
Eco-Conscious and Future-Ready
Solar Panels and House Batteries
Installed in April 2023, the 21 solar panels and 11.6kWh battery system mean you’re not just saving money, you’re generating your own electricity – and even selling some back.
Smart Home Features for Energy Efficiency
With Hive smart thermostats and an Eddi system to redirect excess solar power to hot water, you’re always in control of your home’s energy use.
EV Charging and Renewable Infrastructure
Already future-ready, this home comes with a 7.5KW EV charger – perfect for anyone with an electric vehicle or considering one.
Connectivity in the Countryside
Starlink Satellite Internet – High Speed, Anywhere
Say goodbye to rural Wi-Fi woes. Thanks to Starlink, you’ll enjoy fast, reliable internet whether you’re working remotely or streaming movies in HD.
A Lifestyle Opportunity, Not Just a Home
Perfect for Multi-Generational Living or Remote Work
