Characterful three‑bed cottage with large garden and annexe potential in tranquil rural setting.
Private riverside location beside the River Clettwr
A traditional stone Welsh cottage set in a private riverside position beside the River Clettwr, Aberglasne offers generous family accommodation across three storeys. The house retains many original character features, has comfortable room sizes (approximately 1,338 sq ft) and sits in a large, enclosed lawned garden with mature planting and off‑street parking.
Practical points: the property has oil‑fired central heating, UPVC double glazing installed post‑2002 and private drainage. A detached two‑storey outbuilding currently used as a workshop offers annexe potential subject to planning consent — useful for extended family, holiday letting or a home office. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and the location is peaceful with very low crime; the coast is around a 15‑minute drive.
Important drawbacks to note: the house dates from before 1900 and the stone walls are assumed to have no insulated cavity — upgrading insulation and the energy performance (current EPC rating E) would be sensible. Heating from oil means ongoing fuel costs and tank maintenance. The area classification shows high overall deprivation locally, which may affect services and resale in some markets. Any conversion of the outbuilding will require formal consent.
This property suits buyers seeking a characterful rural home with scope to modernise energy performance and personalise interiors. It will particularly appeal to families or buyers wanting a countryside retreat with riverside setting and garden space, but be prepared for typical period‑property maintenance and retrofit work.
