Great House is a stunning Georgian townhouse located on the main street in Laugharne, the enchanting village immortalised by Dylan Thomas and the BBC drama "Keeping Faith." This Grade 2 Listed property is a true gem, blending historic charm with modern luxury. The house showcases grand decor, extensive wood panelling, high ceilings with decorative plasterwork and large sash windows, retaining many of its original architectural features.
As you enter through the back electric gate, you'll be welcomed by an impressive drive and garden area. The drive accommodates three cars, while the expansive lawn features flagstone steps leading to a pool deck and terrace. Here, you'll find a day bed, loungers and an outdoor heated pool available from May to September (with potential extensions upon request).
Beyond the pool, the old ruin leads to the main back door and flagstone steps ascending to an upper dining terrace. This terrace, complete with a large table, chairs, and BBQ, is perfect for summer al fresco dining. The garden is fully secure and private, surrounded by beautiful magnolia trees.
Enter through the back door into a spacious, modern kitchen equipped with all the necessary appliances, including a large electric range oven, filter coffee machine, and Nespresso.

Upstairs, the upper ground floor features the servants' entrance to the formal dining room, rich in historical features and boasting an original dresser and large dining table - ideal for celebratory dinner parties. The grand hallway, with its elegant staircase, harks back to a bygone era, while two beautiful reception rooms, one with a wood-burning stove, offer space to relax and unwind.
