Set on approximately nine acres of untouched organic land, this two-bedroom detached stone cottage combines traditional character with genuine scope for a sustainable lifestyle. The property offers striking south-easterly views, privacy without isolation, and a collection of outbuildings adaptable for kennels, workshops or storage. Newer heating and off-grid kit installed in 2025 support self-sufficiency, while the plot’s biodiversity and scale create opportunities for orchards, beekeeping, small-scale eco-tourism or glamping (all subject to consents).
The cottage is a compact, characterful home arranged over two floors: a vaulted reception room, separate dining room, kitchen and two bedrooms with one bathroom. Built before 1900 in granite/whinstone, it retains period appeal but will need energy upgrades—walls are assumed uninsulated and the EPC is F. Modern double glazing was fitted after 2002, and a Klover wood pellet boiler with new pipework and radiators was installed in May 2025.
Practical services support rural living: a private spring supplies water, there’s a cesspit on site, and the property has a generator, inverter/charger and 24V battery bank installed in 2025. Broadband is supplied via a modem and SIM card (vendor reports ~55 Mbps via Tesco Mobile) but may be less reliable than wired services in remoter communities. The cottage is freehold with very low local crime and easy vehicle access to the A470, yet lies near the end of a no-through lane about one mile from Llanwrthwl.
This home suits buyers seeking an eco-friendly project, a nature-focused retreat or small-scale rural enterprise. It is not a turn-key modern house: energy-efficiency improvements, possible planning permissions for extensions or commercial uses, and ongoing land management will be required. For someone prepared to invest time and vision, the combination of character cottage and huge organic plot is rare in Mid Wales.
