A beautifully presented detached cottage set on a large plot in peaceful Glais, offering characterful living with modern comforts. The house has two well-proportioned bedrooms, two reception rooms and a farmhouse-style kitchen, all finished with original pine doors and a pine staircase that preserve the home’s period charm. A wood-burning stove in the living area adds warmth and atmosphere.
Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, off-street parking for several cars and an enclosed rear garden — ideal for pets, gardening or extending (subject to consents). The property is freehold, council tax band C and sits in a hamlet-like setting with convenient access to local amenities and transport links.
Notable considerations: the property has an EER of E39 and cavity walls are recorded as uninsulated (assumed), so heating costs may be higher than modern standards. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area scores high on deprivation indices, which may affect long-term resale prospects. The home was constructed circa 1930–1949 and has a single bathroom.
This cottage will suit downsizers, buyers seeking a character home or those wanting a quiet rural retreat close to basic amenities. It offers a strong balance of charm, a large plot and usable living space, but buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and possible modernisation works.
