Property description
Windrush House and Coach House form a magnificent estate in the charming coastal village of Llanrhystud. The property is composed of two distinct structures: the impressive six-bedroom Victorian former vicarage named Windrush House and the converted Coach House, currently up to the first fix level, which includes two potential cottages named Woodland and Garden. Set against a backdrop of almost three acres of private mature gardens and enveloped by woodland, this estate provides a serene and picturesque setting with much potential for a variety of living arrangements.
Windrush House and Coach House
A Perfect Blend of Victorian Elegance and Modern Comfort
A Historical Gem Restored with Care
Dating back to 1872, Windrush House and its accompanying Coach House have been lovingly restored and modernised to preserve their Victorian charm while offering contemporary comfort. This distinguished property is a testament to timeless architecture, with features including a grand pitch pine double-width staircase, elegant original doors, four full-height cellars, a fitted Victorian dresser, and slate and tiled floors that echo the home's rich history.
The main house boasts four double bedrooms, two single bedrooms, and a series of inviting reception rooms, including three spacious living areas designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen, complete with a range cooker and a breakfast room, is complemented by two bathrooms, one of which is ensuite. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating, two wood-burning stoves, and a Rayburn, creating a cosy atmosphere throughout the year. A private drive lined with crabapple and cherry trees leads to a tarmacked parking area with ample space for up to six cars.
The Coach House: Contemporary Living with Rustic Charm
The Coach House, divided into two cottages, 'Woodland' and 'Garden,' provides an idyllic blend of modern style and natural harmony. Each cottage offers the potential for two ensuite double bedrooms, a kitchen, and a spacious living room or studio area. Thoughtfully designed with glass and wood elements, the cottages invite an abundance of natural light while seamlessly blending with their rural surroundings. Outside, charming courtyards and landscaped gardens provide tranquil spaces for relaxation.

The meticulously designed hillside gardens are a highlight of the estate, offering southeast-facing lawns, herb-filled borders, fruit trees, vegetable garden and specimen shrubs. A pond and bog garden add further character, while natural woodland attracts abundant wildlife. Twelve distinct sitting areas, including a decked pergola and an upper tiled patio, offer delightful spaces for dining and relaxation.
