You don't expect to see a retro 1960's home sat in a field in rural Wales
This genuine retro mid-century home can definitely claim to offer a potential buyer a unique property package - and not just its distinctive design and opportunity to recreate the best that mid-century design offered within an original setting.
The bespoke, architect-designed house was built in the 1960s and can still boast original features, design and layout inside and externally but arguably the most surprising aspect of the house is that it nestles down into the landscape within its own two acre paddock.
This might not seem surprising until you discover that the house is located near the centre of the popular coastal town of Cardigan rather than as a slice of a rural village. The extra land offers the chance to enjoy outdoor living with scope to even establish your own urban smallholding, yet the town centre is within walking distance.

The extra land also gives a new owner the scope to extend the house or even build a second home on the site - both options are, of course, subject to gaining planning permission with no guarantee of achieving it.
Inside, the house has a linear layout off a central hallway, with an open-plan lounge kitchen diner with doors to the garden terrace and three double bedrooms.
There have been modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms as well as the windows but the 1960s soul of the house remains. The house offers a blank canvas for a new owner to get creative and bring their own personal design to the property - and if it's a cool, retro vibe then this house is more than happy to host it in a genuine and original mid-century design that includes wooden ceilings and wall, painted brick walls, and large windows.
The scene is set for the new owner to enjoy adding classic furniture pieces from iconic companies such as Ercol and Eames as well as updated, modern versions of the bold colours and patterns from the mid-century era.
Cardigan, or Aberteifi in Welsh, is the second-largest town in Ceredigion and boasts a rich cultural heritage. It has evolved from an important 18th-century Atlantic seaport into a stylish hub of arts, complete with theatres and galleries.
Situated on the curve of the River Teifi, Cardigan maintains a vibrant small-town atmosphere with boutique shops, an independent bakery, a renowned hotel, a mix of visually engaging period properties and buildings, and marked coastal paths that lead you along the stunning shoreline.
The mid-century gem offering original features with the scope to create an outstanding retro or sleek contemporary home, with the added bonuses of town centre location and that incredible paddock is on the market for offers in the region of £480,000 with Cardigan Bay Properties, call 01239 562500 to find out more.

Denbighshire schools get £500k to tackle key challenges
Cabinet members this week agreed to spend the cash, on top of the existing education budget, with a particular focus on supporting children from low-income families. The funding will now be transferred to the education department and will be used to tackle the issues - with the council citing attendance as a priority. Figures show that school attendance in Denbighshire is below the Welsh average. While the national attendance rate for primary and secondary schools combined was 90.6% for 2023/24, Denbighshire recorded 89.9% – 0.7% below average. The £500K boost will help address a range of barriers from poor mental health to poverty and low motivation. The funds will be used to modernise IT systems to improve data; increase the number of family link workers; increase the number of family engagement officers, focusing on the transition from primary to secondary schools; support children in poverty; fund behaviour support in secondary schools; and appoint an assistant education psychologist, to help children struggling to attend due to issues such as neurodiversity. Other investment will be used to fund an education welfare officer, with specialist knowledge of non-attendance leading to legal proceedings. Head of education Geraint Davies said: 'As welcome as £500K is, that will not solve every issue we have in Denbighshire, regarding those four areas, but it is exceptionally welcome, and I know our colleagues in schools are very grateful as well.' The funds will be recurring in each financial year. The cabinet voted unanimously in favour of approving the funds.

UK steelmakers call Trump doubling tariffs 'another body blow'
UK steelmakers said US President Donald Trump's decision to double import taxes on steel and aluminium to 50% is "yet another body blow" to the industry. Trade group UK Steel warned some orders could be delayed or cancelled, with uncertainty surrounding some shipments which are already halfway across the Atlantic. Trump's new 50% import tax will come into effect on Wednesday. It will replace the 25% import tax that Trump announced earlier this year. A UK government spokesperson said it was engaging with the US on the implications of the latest tariff announcement to provide clarity to the industry. The US agreed on 8 May to drop import taxes on UK steel as part of a trade deal with the UK, but the original 25% tariff has been kept in place while the details of the deal are worked Steel director general Gareth Stace said: "The deal that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and President Donald Trump struck just a few short weeks ago is yet to be finalised, so this doubling of tariffs plunges the UK steel industry further into is yet another body blow for all UK steelmakers in this torrid time. "UK steel companies are this morning fearful that orders will now be cancelled, some of which are likely being shipped across the Atlantic as we speak."Mr Stace said the trade group would now be "pressing our government to finalise the agreement to eliminate UK steel import tax and for it to come into effect urgently". "UK steelmakers should not have to shell out for this new steep hike in US steel tariffs - all we want is to continue producing the steel our US customers value so highly," he said. A spokesperson for the UK government said: "The UK was the first country to secure a trade deal with the US earlier this month and we remain committed to protecting British business and jobs across key sectors, including steel."The Guardian reported on Saturday that UK business secretary Jonathan Reynolds will meet his US counterpart Jamieson Greer at an OECD meeting - a global policy forum - in Paris next week, where they will seek to agree a timeline for exempting the UK from the US steel to double tariffs on steel imports The UK exports a relatively small amount of steel and aluminium to the US - about £700m-worth a year in total - but it is an important UK situation should be relatively simple to resolve but until details of the UK-US deal are worked out, business with America is about to become more complicated and more expensive. It is unclear how long for. The type of specialist steel the UK exports to America - which is often used in things like nuclear submarines - means the US would struggle to source it trade is mutually beneficial. But this is yet another reminder that with Trump, nothing can be ruled out.
