Set quietly in Cusop Dingle, this late-1800s detached stone cottage has been fully renovated to combine period charm with contemporary living. The modern kitchen extension with vaulted rooflights and picture window frames open views across Offa’s Dyke and gives a bright focal point for family life. Living accommodation includes a snug, living room, utility/shower room and a mezzanine bedroom alongside three upstairs bedrooms and family bathroom.
The house sits within about 0.66 acres of private, mature grounds with patios, parking and space suitable for a summer house or hot tub. Practical upgrades include double glazing and an air-source heating system for lower running costs than electric, while the property retains character features such as exposed beams, stone fireplace and timber floors.
Buyers should note a few practical constraints: the main heating distribution is an oil-fired boiler (oil fuel), the property uses a private septic tank, and walls are original granite/whinstone with assumed no cavity insulation. Broadband and mobile speeds are limited in the area and there is a medium flood risk—consider these when planning long-term running costs or working-from-home needs. Council tax is above average.
Within walking distance of Hay-on-Wye, the cottage is well placed for schools, amenities and country walks along Offa’s Dyke. The combination of a generous plot, renovated interior and secluded setting will suit families wanting countryside privacy with easy access to a lively market town.
