Detached stone cottage built 1876 with period character
Set in an isolated hamlet near Llandeilo, this traditional stone smallholding combines period character with practical, modern upgrades. The detached cottage (built 1876) has been extended and benefits from a modern fitted kitchen with granite surfaces, double glazing, electric central heating supplemented by a wood-burning stove, and an upvc conservatory that opens to the garden. A timber chalet with mains electricity provides flexible ancillary accommodation or a hobby/workspace.
Approximately 8.5 acres surround the property, including pasture suited to horses or sheep, a wildlife area with a pond, and a pocket of woodland. Across the road is a steel-framed barn, regenerated land and vehicle parking—useful for agricultural machinery, multiple cars or storage. There is also an option to purchase a further c.6.8 acres subject to separate negotiation.
Practical positives sit alongside clear constraints. Broadband speeds are very slow and the area is classified as very deprived; this remote location suits buyers prioritising space, wildlife and self-sufficiency rather than fast online working. Council tax is above average. The cottage’s stone walls have internal insulation and some original fabric, so prospective buyers should plan for ongoing maintenance and potential sympathetic renovation to modern standards.
No onward chain and excellent mobile signal make the property straightforward to move into for those seeking a rural smallholding lifestyle. It will particularly appeal to buyers wanting immediate pasture, wildlife interest, and a countryside base within reasonable reach of Llandeilo’s amenities and the region’s visitor attractions.
