- Large plot — approx one‑third acre, gardens front and rear

A rare village home with genuine character: this former police station (date stone 1882) sits in an elevated spot overlooking Llanrhaeadr‑ym‑Mochnant and the Tanat Valley. The house combines original stone walls and period features with practical upgrades — a modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom and three flexible reception rooms that suit family life, home-working or entertaining.
The plot is a standout: roughly one‑third of an acre of front and rear gardens, hardstanding for a garage and parking for multiple vehicles. The house’s rooms are well proportioned, with a large lounge featuring a multi‑fuel stove and sliding doors to the garden, plus separate dining and breakfast rooms that improve daily flow.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is by oil‑fired boiler and radiators, the building is solid brick with no known cavity insulation (likely energy inefficient), and there is a single family bathroom. The property sits in a remote, ageing rural community with patchy local services; council tax is above average.
For a family or buyer seeking a countryside retreat with scope, this home offers immediate comfort alongside clear potential: sensible energy upgrades and targeted refurbishment would significantly improve running costs and comfort while preserving historic charm. Viewing is essential to appreciate the setting and internal space.
