Efail Y Banc – A Striking Country Home with Spectacular Views and Architectural Character
Set against the rolling hills of West Wales, Efail Y Banc is a truly exceptional country home that perfectly blends contemporary eco-conscious living with bold architectural charm. With an impressive EPC rating of B, the property benefits from a renewable air source heat pump, underfloor heating, and carefully curated interiors that make this home as practical as it is beautiful.
Step into a character-rich reception hall, where you’re greeted by exposed stonework, a handmade oak staircase with raw thyme metal detailing, and artisan tiled flooring that immediately sets the tone for the thoughtful craftsmanship found throughout.
At the heart of the home lies an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space—a vibrant and elegant area with herringbone oak flooring, statement lighting, and bespoke cabinetry. The kitchen includes a double sink island, marble-effect counters, and a walk-in pantry, all framed by expansive picture windows offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. From here, triple-glazed sliding doors open onto a sun-drenched patio—ideal for entertaining while enjoying the dramatic Welsh sunset skies.
Upstairs, the principal suite is a sanctuary of its own, boasting vaulted ceilings, a triple-aspect bedroom, and a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding slipper bath, twin vanity sinks, and a rainfall walk-in shower. The dressing room, which could easily be repurposed as a fourth bedroom, offers added versatility.
Two additional bedrooms each feature A-frame ceilings, exposed stone detailing, and far-reaching views, served by a monochrome-tiled shower room.
Outside, the landscaped gardens are designed in line with a proposed biodiversity plan, featuring formal lawns, wildflower meadows, a vegetable patch, and fantastic seating areas to soak up the view.

The property also extends to approximately 8 acres of land, providing wonderful opportunities for equestrian use, smallholding potential, or simply to enjoy the surrounding countryside.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and stylish home that balances sustainability, space, and natural beauty—offered exclusively through Fine & Country West Wales.
