If the dark and cold winter evenings are becoming a drag, then a daydream about escaping to the Welsh coast, and actually owning a chunk of it too, might be a welcome distraction.
And if you dream about renovating a charming stone period property with sea views as your ultimate DIY project, then this Grade II listed property called Bryntirion could be calling you to come and update it.
But if you don't want to leave the whole family behind on your great coastal escape adventure, it's handy then that the site for sale includes a second property.
This bonus building could also be the subject of a renovation project but what an ideal property package for a double relocation for a multi-generational family or a reinvention as a sea view holiday home, subject to achieving the necessary planning consent, of course.
The former farmland on the gorgeous Pembrokeshire coast overlooks the sweeping bay of Poppit Sands where the Teifi estuary flows into the sparkling ocean at the popular town of Cardigan.
Further along the coast is this duo of potential dream homes, perched high on the headland, overlooking the stunning sand and seascape below and the expanse of blue sky, on a good weather day, above.
Both properties enjoy panoramic, uninterrupted sea views on one side, and undulating, peaceful rural vistas on the other side.
If that wasn't enough, they come with around 40 acres of land, covering 10 fields and hedgerows which gently roll down to the Pembrokeshire National Coastal Path.
Any place within the boundaries of your own land is a beautiful spot to set up a picnic, surrounded by the clear blue waters that stretch to the horizon.
If you're lucky you may even see pods of dolphins frolicking out in the waters as your summer entertainment.
According to the estate agent selling the property, the main abode dates back to about 1820 and offers a new owner five bedrooms, two reception rooms and plenty of versatile space to suit the lifestyle of the new owner.
Of course, any changes, demolition or additions would be subject to listed building and planning consent.
Approaching the pretty stone facade of the main house and the delightful blue windows and shutters peeping out from beneath sprawling plants climbing the property are an inviting welcome.
Step through the distinctive arch doorway and into the hall.
Inside the beauty of the period sunbeam-style transom window above the front door can be admired in all its glory, the sun streaming through to illuminate the spacious hall.
What appears to be the original floorboards are joined by deep skirtings, large panelled internal doors and generous, tall ceilings; all features that indicate the home's spacious Georgian origins.
Into the main sitting room and the large, characterful sash window is a happy discovery, although the original fireplace appears to have been replaced with a later, stone and slate addition.
If a new owner were looking to enhance the Georgian atmosphere in this space, sourcing a fireplace more appropriate to the era might be added to the property makeover 'to do' list as well as restoring the beautiful wood flooring.
On the opposite side of the hall is another sizeable reception room, currently being used as a library. In this space the period window panels can be seen as arguably the period highlight of the room.
To the rear of the house and the kitchen diner is the most substantial downstairs room and arguable the most full of character and charm.
The first feature to visually embrace you is the solid and robust flagstone floor, as practical and robust as the day it was laid below and ceiling hanging hooks above.
The room is so spacious the Welsh dresser and substantial range cooker almost looks dwarfed by the whitewashed stone walls and tactile feature chimney breast and fireplace.
This space oozes charm and is arguably the heart of the home, in the past, present and into the future if the new owner sympathetically updated the space into a fully functioning kitchen.
The house has a separate laundry room where some of the kitchen white goods and Belfast sink can be found, plus there is a utility room that also houses a bath.

Up to the first floor and the house has five bedrooms, all of a good size and all with a large proportioned window framing the coast or countryside views outside.
The smallest of the bedrooms is currently being used as a walk-in wardrobe and dressing room and another could be utilised as a home office if required.
However, this property also has a surprise additional level in the basement, which offers two extra rooms that could be converted into any number of spaces from an office to a super cool den.
And just when you think that's all the surprises on offer in the main house, there is a rather random sauna space to be found in the basement - not expected but a very welcome addition for most people.
Wander through the garden to the additional property, trying not to trip because you are mesmerised by the sea views.
This bonus building was originally a two-storey cottage according to the estate agent, and now provides a first floor apartment and a kennelling below.
With a sympathetic renovation of this former cottage the dogs are out and Granny is in making the site a perfect multi-generational property purchase.
Both charming buildings need a level of refurbishment to make them the perfect coastal duo of homes for the new owner.
Whoever decides a slice of Pembrokeshire seaside life is for them can put their own style, taste and lifestyle needs into the properties but what they can't change is the unique location, and why would they ever want to; it's truly stunning.
