About this property
Stunning mill house with approximately thirty acres of grounds.
Fantastic lifestyle opportunity with huge income potential.
Sale includes a quarter of a mile of salmon river including fishing rights.
Stunning land, including a tranquil wooded valley and an iconic iron age hill fort.
A self-contained annex and potential for letting units or extended accommodation.
The main mill house offers generous reception areas over the ground floor, including an open plan reception room with kitchen and utility room off it and the unique living room which still houses the historic workings for the water wheel. The water wheel is still undoubtedly one of the most fascinating features of the property. It is a fully intact and working wheel that is fed by a long leat carved out of the rock of the valley behind the property. The waterwheel would make an ideal base for a hydroelectric generator which should be able to provide most (if not all) the power needs of the property twenty four hours a day. On the first floor of the home you find four bedrooms, including the character filled master bedroom suite. The standout feature of the main mill house is its configuration that allows such versatile usage.
Currently, the house offers five bedrooms with one being easily separable along with its attached reception, kitchen, and bathroom. This portion of the house can serve as an extended living space or a lettable annex, a use case that has previously proven successful. Whilst currently used as a family home, the entire mill complex could be conveniently divided into one three-bedroom, one two-bedroom, and three one-bedroom holiday lets, which could generate a fantastic income in such a prime position. Additionally, there is potential for the reconstruction of a derelict cottage within the woodland. The land at Nant Y Coy Mill lives up to the high standard set by the remarkable accommodation. Comprising of approximately thirty acres of grounds, the variety of landscape that is included is truly incredible.
There is the additional access to over eighty acres on Great Treffgarne Mountain for those looking to keep livestock. The land includes a beautiful meadow that runs along a quarter of a mile of the Western Cleddau, of which the mill owns the fishing rights. Behind the house you find one of the finest summerhouse and entertaining spaces. Beyond the productive vegetable garden and two storage/workshop barns you find four paddocks that have formed the basis for a successful glamping business. To the south of the paddocks, you find open moorland leading up on Great Treffgarne Mountain with an iron age hill fort that siting at the foot of the Iconic ‘Lion Rock’ an artful sculpture crafted by nature itself. Possibly finest of all, you find the ancient wooded valley that stretches back from the mill house. Designated as a site of special scientific interest (sssi), this natural paradise is a home to otters and other endangered wildlife.
Nant Y Coy Mill is an unrivalled opportunity for a buyer to purchase a property that embraces its history with a truly stunning restoration. It offers huge scope for a buyer to develop their own lifestyle and business. This inspiring estate comprises of the beautifully renovated five bedroom mill house with its own one bedroom annex, the former café, which offers a myriad of development options, a delightful summer house, two large outbuildings/workshop, a successful glamping business, and approximately thirty acres of some of the most inspiring grounds you are likely to find in West Wales

External
Nant Y Coy Mill is accessed via handmade larch electric gates. You enter the enclosed courtyard with the mill and its outbuildings laid out in an L shape in front of you. This area provides secure parking for numerous vehicles along with a large sunny seating area in front of the buildings. To the rear of the main house you find a rear garden cut into the rockface which houses a pizza oven and outdoor dining area. From here, a path leads back into the ancient woodland. Just beyond the house is the charming, elevated, summer house, which provides another wonderful entertaining space with a hot tub, dining area, and power connection.
Paths lead back from the mill into the stunning woodland that extends along the valley. Following the river and leat that feeds the waterwheel, you proceed back into beautiful and unspoiled woods which form your own private oasis of calm.
To the south of the valley you find four paddocks which have been the base for the successful glamping business run by the owners. There is permission for ten pitches, with an option for five more, which enables a peaceful and private experience for both the owners and visitors alike.
These paddocks are accessed via a roadway which connects to Nant Y Coy Mill and one other property. This roadway also has entrances to two large work/storage areas. One contains a productive vegetable garden and good-sized timber frame garage/barn; the other houses a large workshop with storage area to the fore. Both buildings have been well-positioned into the hillside to blend in with their surroundings.
The owners have planted numerous trees around the estate including fifty gala apple trees in the meadows whose productive harvest would be a joy to sample in solid or liquid form!
On the opposite side of the road from Nant Y Coy the property also owns the meadow and around a quarter of a mile of the Western Cleddau, including fishing rights. This stretch of water also includes a large island, accessed via footbridge, which makes it the perfect spot for anglers or those who just want to enjoy this beautiful rural scene.
Accessed from its own entrance to the south of the mill is a derelict cottage which provides a wonderful opportunity for a buyer to renovate (subject to any relevant planning) for additional accommodation or sale/rental options.
The rest of the land comprises of open countryside, which includes an iron age hill fort and the impressive Great Treffgarne Rock it was built on. The land is teeming with history and wildlife and is an absolute joy to explore.
