Some properties can offer you perfect peace at the end of a winding, tiny country lane that absorbs you into the stunning, undulating countryside and sweeping views that can surely project only relaxation and tranquillity.
If that home is also found along a tiny rural lane that meanders away from a small village that can offer amenities and human company, should you want it, then maybe Llwynygroes Mansion nestled within the Ceredigion countryside is the slice of heaven you are looking for.
On the market for £725,000 the three-storey Georgian stunner comes with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and you get more for your property purchasing pound than a detached four bed in a posh part of Cardiff would get you, like this one currently for sale on Rightmove.

The house was built in 1760 and in the approximate one acre of idyllic grounds that surround it you will find an ancient copper tree that is said to have been planted at the same time that the house was constructed.
If that tree could talk it would surely tell you about all the owners from the past who have enjoyed their time living the country dream in a handsome home that commands attention with grand features while at the same time hugs you with a homely ambience.
The garden can tempt you outside to while away the hours next to the carp pond or work a section of it to grow your own produce and live out your 'good life' dreams. The site can maybe in the future pay its way to some degree too with an outbuilding in the garden oozing potential.
This bonus building from the outside looks like it once could have been an onsite chapel for the mansion, and the stone bell structure suggests this could be so, but there is no proof of this and no hint to it inside, as the building is currently one part barn, one part large converted room with heating and lighting.
The whole structure could in the future be converted to additional accommodation subject to the necessary permissions. According to the estate agent, there are design plans in place that can be inspected via the agent, but at present there is a delay on planning applications in the local area.
The main event is, of course, the period property that can lavish your lifestyle in large and classic Georgian proportions, light and space, and stand out features that include the hallway with cornicing, ceiling arch and, of course, the much-anticipated grand, sweeping staircase.
There are many captivating highlights in the home to please and also spaces that offer a new owner the chance to bring their own touch of Georgian splendour to the property or indulge in a contemporary update depending on their personal interior design taste.
Arguably one of the highlights is the main lounge that offers period panelling and built-in alcove shelving with gem inspired interior design that demands you linger and lounge on a comfy sofa and you are more than happy to comply.
The kitchen diner is another room for special socialising memories to be created, with a central dining table and chairs the hub of the chat as well as the food. The Shaker-style kitchen is cloaked in natural tones and textures via the tiles, floor and walls that provide a nod to the beauty of the garden vistas and glimpses of rural panoramas enjoyed from every window in this country manor house.
But there is a separate dining room just off the kitchen for more formal dining or larger meals, which can also tempt you with a pretty window seat nested into the wall recess. There's also room for a sofa for fully relaxing in total comfort once your stomach is full and your feet can't be bothered to get you to the main sitting room.
Another highlight of the house is one of the first floor bedrooms that has, as well as a spacious ensuite with roll-top bath, a Juliet balcony that can directly and delightfully connect you and your teddy bear to the glorious rural views and fresh country air directly from the bed.
The wood panelling, pretty and sumptuous gem toned interior design continues in some of the five bedrooms, complemented with statement chandelier lighting, and all of them can boast oodles of space and mesmerising views from the large windows.
Up the grand staircase to the second floor and the owners have created a cinema room that is the perfect place to celebrate your team's winning goal or sing-along to your favourite musical movie away from the rest of the house.
Of course if more bedrooms are required, the movies can be packed up and moved into another space - maybe the outbuilding could become the ultimate games and party room?
And just because the home is hundreds of years old does not mean it is stuck in the past, according to the agent the property has a smart heating system and fibre broadband up to 900Mb with Cat 6 cabling.
The house also comes with Mesh WiFi which sounds very impressive and is - said to be more seamless and efficient around the home than standard WiFi- so working from this property's home office is another box that can be ticked.
The home offers the best of both worlds - an idyllic life away from it all at a historic mansion but within driving distance of the market town of Lampeter in one direction and the glorious Ceredigion coast in the other direction - all for the price of a house with very little land and limited views in the capital city.
