Chain-free renovated three-bedroom detached cottage with character features
Large wildlife-friendly garden, pergola, storage shed and woodshed
Double-aspect master bedroom with countryside views
Heated conservatory and practical utility room linking to garden
Oil-fired boiler and radiators — higher running/fuel costs likely
Granite walls assumed uninsulated — potential heat loss and retrofit need
Very slow broadband in area; limits home working and streaming
Council tax classed as expensive for the property
Tucked beside the River Ystwyth and a short drive from Aberystwyth’s coastline, this renovated three-bedroom detached cottage combines traditional Welsh character with modern comforts. The home’s double-aspect lounge with an inglenook fireplace, handmade kitchen units and heated conservatory create warm, flexible living areas suited to year-round use. The plot is large and wildlife-friendly, with a pergola seating area, shed/workspace and woodshed for practical storage.
The property has been thoughtfully updated and is offered chain-free. The master bedroom is dual-aspect with countryside views; two further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom provide comfortable accommodation. Practical fixtures include a utility room and recent double-glazing (installed after 2002). At around 1,787 sq ft, the layout gives generous room proportions across multiple storeys.
Buyers should note material running costs and fabric details: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, council tax is described as expensive, and external walls are granite/whinstone with assumed no insulation. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and the wider area records high deprivation, which may affect services and resale to some buyers. Flood risk is low and crime levels are very low.
This cottage will suit someone seeking peaceful rural living with good road access to Aberystwyth and coastal amenities. It offers immediate move-in readiness after renovation, but also clear areas for improvement (wall insulation, modern fuel alternatives, faster broadband) for buyers who want to reduce running costs or personalise further.
