Six stables, barn/workshop and manège c.40m x 20m for equestrian use
Traditional stone farmhouse, believed c.1903, retains original character
Walls likely uninsulated granite; significant thermal upgrade needed
Heating: boiler and wood logs; main fuel wood logs, may be costly

Council Tax Band F; higher running costs for occupants
Set in about 8 acres, this traditional four-bedroom former farmhouse offers substantial equestrian and smallholding potential. The detached one-bedroom annexe has previously been used as a holiday let and could provide supplemental income or accommodation for staff or guests. A useful range of outbuildings includes six stables, a barn/workshop and a manège (c. 40m x 20m), with level pasture paddocks and far-reaching countryside views.
The house dates from around 1903 and retains stone-built character and a slate roof, but requires modernization in places. Walls are traditional granite/whinstone with no known insulation and heating relies on a boiler plus wood logs; upgrading insulation, heating and electrics would improve comfort and running costs. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — important for buyers needing reliable connectivity.
The layout has scope to be divided into two accommodations (staircases at each end), offering flexibility for multi-generational use or to generate rental income from part of the house alongside the annexe. The location is secluded in a hamlet setting, about two miles from Drefach for basic amenities, with larger towns and Ceredigion beaches accessible for wider services and leisure.
This property suits buyers seeking a lifestyle smallholding or equestrian base who value space, privacy and views and are prepared to carry out improvements. The large plot and outbuildings are rare for the area, but expect investment in modern services and energy efficiency to unlock full potential.
