Brookside Cottage is a spacious period home set in about three quarters of an acre of terraced gardens and mature grounds, tucked into the peaceful hamlet of Llansilin. The main house retains character features — exposed beams, a large inglenook fireplace and wooden floors — and offers adaptable living across generous reception spaces and three good bedrooms. A self‑contained two‑storey annex provides flexible use as guest accommodation, home office or rental income potential.
Practical advantages include off‑street parking for multiple vehicles, a sizeable metal workshop, greenhouse, summerhouse with decking and a pond. The property benefits from double glazing (installed post‑2002), a bore hole water supply and septic tank. Rural outlooks and very low local crime make this a private countryside home suitable for family life or someone seeking a commuter base with strong character.
There are important considerations for buyers. The building is of traditional granite construction with no assumed cavity insulation; parts of the home will benefit from upgrading and insulation work to improve comfort and running costs. Heating is oil‑fired with radiator distribution and the broadband speed is very slow — both relevant for remote working. Services (boiler, bore hole, septic) have not been tested and will require buyers’ due diligence.
Overall this freehold cottage suits buyers who value period charm, ample outdoor space and flexible living (annex included), and who are prepared to invest in sympathetic updating to realise its full potential.
