Set within roughly 9 acres of paddocks, Vownog offers a substantial detached cottage with versatile living space and strong smallholding potential. Three reception rooms and four good-sized bedrooms give flexible family accommodation, while the watertight stables and a large outbuilding/garage suit equestrian or agricultural use. Two roadside fields could offer development potential subject to planning consent.
The house is traditional, built before 1900, with sandstone/limestone walls and double glazing fitted before 2002. Practical updates have been made: the boiler (Worcester Greenstar) was installed in 2020, loft timbers treated and outbuildings re-roofed in 2021. However the property shows dated internal finishes (mid-century paneling in living areas) and will benefit from modernization throughout; the walls are assumed uninsulated which will affect running costs until improved.
Important practical points: the home runs on bulk LPG (not mains) and uses a sewage treatment plant. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is only average — factors to consider for home-working. Parking is generous and the site is well protected by surrounding land and hedging, making this a private country base for families, smallholders or buyers seeking development upside (subject to consents).
