Rhydlydan is a substantial traditional four-bedroom cottage set on about two acres in open countryside near Ponterwyd, just off the A44. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, stone walls and multiple fireplaces — and offers generous ground-floor living and a separate sitting room. The plot is a major asset: extensive rear land, mature trees and off‑road parking with good vehicle turning space.
The property is sold freehold and benefits from oil‑fired central heating, double glazing installed post‑2002 and mains water/electricity. Practical outbuildings provide useful storage and the layout suits a family, multi‑generational living or a hobby farm with room for garden projects or small livestock.
Important practical points: the house requires modernisation and refurbishment throughout. Energy efficiency is low (EER 50), walls are likely uninsulated granite, drainage is private, broadband speeds are very slow and the water/heat services are oil‑fired. Council Tax band E is above average for the area. The location is remote; local amenities are limited but Aberystwyth is about 11 miles away.
This property will suit buyers seeking a rural lifestyle who value privacy, land and character and who are prepared to invest in upgrading heating, insulation, drainage and interior finishes. It also offers scope for renovation or conversion projects for those looking to add value, subject to consents.
