Set on an impressive 1.366-acre plot on the edge of Silian village, this detached three-bedroom cottage/converted farmhouse offers substantial rural living with immediate scope for improvement. The house retains period character — stone fireplaces, exposed stonework and dormer bedrooms — while benefiting from modern additions such as privately owned solar panels and air-source heating. There is extensive off-street parking, a car port, a sun terrace and a large paddock with two stables.
The accommodation is generous (approximately 2,121 sq ft) across multiple levels, suited to a family wanting spacious reception rooms and ground-floor living. The property is offered chain-free, making it attractive for buyers who want a quicker move. Broadband is reported as fast and the area has very low crime, though the setting is remote and village amenities are limited.
Significant positives are balanced by clear practical notes: the house was built in 1825 with granite or whinstone walls likely uninsulated, the main heating system includes an oil boiler and radiators alongside electric air-source heating, and internal decor and some finishes are dated — the property will require modernization to reach contemporary standards. Council Tax is band E (above average), and the wider area shows indicators of high deprivation despite low crime levels.
This is a strong purchase for a buyer seeking period character, space and land — ideal for those wanting paddock and stables — who is prepared to invest in upgrading and insulating the property. Its size and plot also present potential for further improvement or adaptation subject to consents.
