Exterior doors to the apartments' entrance halls have key code locks, with intercom systems. Living space Whether you want to entertain family or friends, or simply unwind, you'll have plenty of space to do so in your new home. The large sash windows give the space a light and airy feel, while the layout is versatile enough to give you various options.

Your Master bedroom will come with 3 way controlled downlights and an extra security alarm keypad, just in case you forgot to set the alarm before you go to bed. Bathrooms We furnish our bathrooms with Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware, coupled with Hansgrohe chrome fittings and shower mixer. These stylish and extremely well-engineered fixtures will give you years of service. Warm inside Modern, discreet and highly efficient panel heaters can be centrally or individually controlled to keep each area of your apartment heated just the way you want. The ventilation system not only removes the stale air and condensation from every room, it purifies and warms the air before it enters each room. St George's Place is built to very high thermal standards. Traditionally styled double-glazed sash windows keep the elements at bay and your heating bills under control. Electronics Avoid all the hassle and untidiness of wiring your home for phone, data and TV. We've pre-installed a complete network with outlets in all the main rooms. If you're a TV fan you'll be glad to know that a communal Sky Plus dish, ADB and terrestrial aerial will be fitted and will be accessible via your installed network. Peace of mind Safety features include smoke detection in each bedroom and a comprehensive security system that has a keypad in the entrance hall and the master bedroom, both with panic alarm facility. There's an intercom entry system to the front exterior door, so you'll know who's come to call.

Georgian elegance, 21st century style With its Bath stone elevations and traditional slate roof, St George's Place embodies all that's wonderful about Bath's architecture, whilst providing the benefits of a highly specified new build. Eight apartments, five maisonettes, together with a townhouse and an office, make up this select development, just a few minutes' walk from the City Centre. St Georges Place is in a great part of town. Over the road is the historic 54 acre Royal Victoria Park, overlooked by the Royal Crescent. It's the perfect place to unwind, train for the next half marathon or wear out the kids. When you're ready for some theatre, history or a walk around the shops, it's a short stroll into the heart of Bath. You'll have all the green space and city life you could want, close at hand. Moving to the practicalities, nearby Green Park Station, a former Great Western Railways terminus, houses a Sainsbury's superstore, as well as small boutiques, a weekly farmer's market and a popular brasserie. Just along from there, you'll find the Odeon multi-screen complex or walk in any direction and you'll come across the wonderful pubs, bistros and historic landmarks that have made this city famous.

“Twenty years ago we decided to move to Wales and started looking for a property which also had the facility to be a business, †says Elizabeth. “When we found Bronyscawen we were overwhelmed by the delightful stone house, surrounded by green fields and rolling hills plus it had outbuildings from where we could run our chocolate business.†“As soon as I stepped through the front door I was hit by the wow factor of the house and that has not changed. It has such a lovely light, warm ambience and you ramble through rooms that all have amazing views across the garden and countryside beyond. Our family has grown up here and we all sat around the large table in the warm atmosphere of the farmhouse kitchen to share the day’s news. For more formal occasions up to ten people can easily be seated in the dining room and as it opens onto the patio we can fling back the doors to invite the garden in.†“This is a house that provides a choice of rooms for family gatherings and is perfect for entertaining, as there is space for everyone, †says Elizabeth. “There are two lounges, both with log burning stoves in the inglenook fireplaces. The main lounge leads into the cinema that has a large screen and a projection unit. It is great fun as you can stop the film to fetch an ice cream whenever you fancy. The rear sitting room is a perfect family room and the large windows make it very light whilst the sun room is used throughout the year and in the winter is warmed by the log burning stove. A spiral staircase leads from the first to second floor and like all the rooms can be an adaptable space, now a craft room it has been a superb area for teenagers.†“For summer entertaining, guests can spill into the large garden and wander across the lawns down to the bluebell wood or sit by the lake. There is also a mighty oak tree which I often think embraces the house, it is stunning. There are twelve outbuildings, eight are on site and house the chocolate business but could be adapted to fit other ventures; this is an excellent equestrian and tourist centre. We are in a good central location, only five miles from Whitland and eighteen miles from Carmarthen. Llanboidy village is a mile away and has a school, a pub and a shop for everyday needs and I shall miss its friendliness. Bronyscawen is a house that embraces you and my family feel privileged to have lived in such a wonderful home.†* Elizabeth Jones *These comments are the personal views of the current owners and are included as an insight into life at the property.
