Set just under seven acres in peaceful Penrhiwllan, this stone-built detached cottage combines traditional character with flexible accommodation. The house offers four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and separate reception rooms, with one ground-floor bedroom and ensuite that can function as a self-contained annexe or guest suite. Mature woodland, a wildlife-rich pond and the Nant Lago running through the grounds provide strong privacy and an attractive rural setting for outdoor living or smallholding pursuits.
The property will suit buyers seeking a countryside lifestyle rather than a turnkey modern home. Construction predates 1900 with assumed uninsulated granite walls and oil-fired boiler/radiators supplemented by some electric underfloor heating; some energy and maintenance upgrades should be expected. The plot’s size and layout are major assets for equestrian use, gardening or further landscaping, while a garage and additional parking add practical convenience.
Local amenities are within reach: a village shop, pub/restaurant and garage serve daily needs, with larger centres such as Llandysul and Newcastle Emlyn nearby. Fast broadband is available, flooding risk is reported as none and crime is low, but the area rates high for deprivation and council tax is above average — factors to weigh for budgeting and long-term living costs.
This is a property of strong rural character and potential. It will particularly appeal to buyers who value privacy, land and versatile accommodation and who are prepared to invest in energy efficiency and sympathetic updating to unlock the house’s full comfort and value.
