Set alongside the Mochdre Brook, this Victorian end-of-terrace cottage brings period character and river views to a quiet village setting. The house offers three bedrooms arranged over four floors, a generous living room, a cellar for storage and a kitchen/dining room that looks out to the brook. A small rear yard, front patio and useful storage shed complete the outside space.
The property is offered as a renovation opportunity: the brick solid walls are likely uninsulated, and the house needs updating throughout. Heating is dual fuel (mineral and wood) via a boiler and radiators, and glazing is double glazed though the install date is unknown. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — worth noting if you work from home.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax, very low local crime and no flood risk. The cottage’s layout and cellar create clear scope to modernise and improve energy performance; buyers prepared to invest could create a comfortable family home or a long-term, characterful starter property.
Be realistic about costs: solid-wall insulation, potential rewiring or bathroom refurbishment, and general modernisation will be required. The area is a remoter rural community with limited local services, so factor travel for schools, shops and broadband-dependent work into plans.
