Character cottage with large garden and three doubles — ideal for families wanting scope to modernise.

Dated kitchen and bathrooms — requires modernization to meet modern standards
Solid brick (pre‑1900) walls assumed with no insulation; energy upgrades needed
Heating by room heaters and house coal; no modern central heating present
Council tax above average; local crime higher than average
Good village amenities and direct A483 road links for commuting
This deceptively spacious, late‑19th‑century semi‑detached cottage sits in the popular village of Ruabon and retains vivid period character — exposed timber beams, quarry‑tiled kitchen and original features throughout. The house offers two reception rooms, a traditional country kitchen with utility/pantry, and three double bedrooms served by a family bathroom with separate shower and bath. Large windows and patio doors connect the principal living space to a substantial private garden that includes lawn, patio, vegetable patch and a kennel area.
The long, flexible first‑floor landing currently works as an additional reception space or play area, giving families useful extra living room. The village provides everyday amenities (primary school, shops, pubs, train station) and direct road access to the A483 for commuting. The property’s overall size and generous plot create clear potential for extensions or reconfiguration subject to consents.
Important practical points: the house is on a solid‑wall, pre‑1900 construction with no insulation assumed, and heating is by room heaters and a coal supply rather than modern central heating — the kitchen and other rooms are dated and will benefit from modernisation. Council tax is above average and local crime statistics are higher than average for the area. Broadband and mobile signal are average. This is a character‑rich family home with scope to improve energy performance and internal layout to suit modern family life; an internal inspection is recommended to fully appreciate the space and garden potential.
