Set on just under two acres on the fringes of Ciliau Aeron, this stone-built cottage offers a compact, characterful home alongside paddock, mature garden and outbuildings including stables. The two-bedroom accommodation feels deceptively spacious with original features, a modern kitchen and bathroom, dormer windows and elevated views across the Aeron valley — ideal for someone seeking a quieter pace and immediate outdoor space for horses, hobby farming or leisure diversification.
The plot is the property’s main strength: large sloping pasture, mature woodland margins and a private outlook provide excellent privacy and day-long sun. There is clear potential for equestrian use or small-scale rural diversification (holiday let, leisure) subject to planning. Utility-wise the cottage benefits from mains water and electricity, LPG-fired central heating and double glazing added since 2002.
There are practical realities to note. Drainage is private (septic/soakaway) and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, which may limit energy efficiency and call for further insulation works. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal; this could affect home-working or online businesses. The house is compact — a cosy two-bedroom dwelling rather than a large family home — so buyers should expect modest internal living space.
Overall this is a characterful smallholding for buyers prioritising land, views and rural lifestyle over low-running costs and fast internet. It will suit equestrian enthusiasts, smallholding hobbyists or those looking to diversify into rural tourism, but budget and plans should allow for improvements to insulation, drainage arrangements and connectivity where required.
