Set quietly in semi-rural Rhiwfawr, this well-presented Victorian detached house offers comfortable two-bedroom living with generous outdoor space. The home feels immediately livable — a modern kitchen-diner, two reception rooms, downstairs WC, pantry and utility provide everyday flexibility for downsizers or couples seeking a calmer pace.
Running costs are helped by a 4kW solar installation on a south-facing roof that currently generates an average Feed‑In Tariff of £600 annually; this income is understood to continue for about 11 years. Heating is by an oil‑fired boiler and radiators, so fuel supply and storage should be considered when budgeting.
The plot is a standout: mature ornamental planting, fruit trees, a large vegetable plot, greenhouse, shed and a pond create a private, productive garden ideal for keen gardeners. Off‑street driveway parking and a peaceful outlook underline the property’s semi‑rural appeal while still being within reach of local amenities and commuter routes.
Practical points to note: the building is of older sandstone/limestone construction where cavity or modern wall insulation is not recorded and may require upgrading. The area is classified as very deprived in local statistics, which may affect some services and investment perceptions. Overall this home blends character, ready-to-move-in presentation and strong outside space — a good fit for buyers seeking countryside living with manageable ongoing running costs.
