Summary - VOWNOG PORTH Y WAEN OSWESTRY SY10 8LX
- Detached four-bedroom cottage with three reception rooms
Set back from the A495 on the outskirts of Porth-Y-Waen, this detached four-bedroom cottage sits within nine acres of paddocks, mature hedges and a stream. The house offers three reception rooms, a good-sized kitchen, a re-roofed extension (2021) and panoramic rural views — well suited to families, hobby farmers or equestrian enthusiasts. A watertight stable block with power, and a large outbuilding/garage currently housing farm machinery, broaden the property’s practical uses.
Practical updates include a 2020 Worcester Greenstar boiler (LPG bulk supply), acoustic front windows and a replaced sewage treatment plant. The loft timbers have been treated and the extension roof and outbuildings were renewed in 2021. Parking is generous via a private driveway, and the enclosed garden with deck and tennis lawn provides private outdoor space close to the house.
Two of the roadside fields may offer potential for residential development, but any development would require obtaining planning consent. Note practical limitations: broadband speeds are very slow, the house’s solid stone walls are assumed uninsulated, heating runs from LPG rather than mains gas, and there is only one main bathroom plus a separate W/C. The location is rural and remoter, with average mobile signal and limited immediate services.
This is a substantial period property on a very large plot. It presents immediate liveability for those wanting countryside space while offering scope for modernisation and smallholding or equestrian use. Buyers looking for development opportunity should investigate local planning policies early.
