Tastefully refurbished interior — ready to occupy
Two bedrooms — compact, deceptive layout

Built before 1900 — period character, some maintenance expected
Excellent mobile and fast broadband; three miles to Tregaron
This charming two-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits in the heart of Llanddewi Brefi, a picturesque village at the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains. Recently and tastefully refurbished, the house combines period character—sash windows, stone chimney, slate roof—with modern conveniences such as UPVC double glazing and good broadband. The layout is compact and practical across an average-sized footprint, suited to relaxed village living.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property has an EPC rating of D. The original granite or whinstone walls are likely uninsulated, which can affect running costs and comfort compared with modern insulated homes. The walled side garden is low-maintenance but currently overgrown and will need some tidy-up or landscaping to realise its potential.
This home is offered chain free and is particularly well suited to downsizers or someone seeking a quiet retirement base in a village with a strong community, local pub and places of worship nearby. It’s three miles from Tregaron and around eight miles from Lampeter, so everyday shopping and services require a short drive. Broadband and mobile signal are good, and council tax is described as affordable.
In summary, the property delivers period charm and a recently refreshed interior with clear advantages for a buyer wanting a low-maintenance village home. Buyers should budget for possible thermal improvements and consider the limitations of electric heating and the EPC D rating when assessing running costs.
