Set on roughly 6–7 acres in a quiet hamlet near Ffarmers, this detached four-bedroom cottage offers a rare smallholding opportunity for someone willing to renovate. The house was extended in the 1980s and benefits from uPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating, but it now requires further modernisation throughout. Chain-free sale means a prompt completion is possible for a buyer prepared to start works.
Outside, the plot is the standout asset: about 6.5 acres of level pasture in three paddocks lie across the lane, plus mature gardens and a rear parking area beside the house. A substantial 45' x 45' portal-framed barn gives flexible storage or hobby use, while an adjacent former cow shed (approx. 30' x 13') presents clear potential for conversion subject to planning.
Practicalities are straightforward for a rural property: mains water and electricity, private drainage, oil boiler with radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The location is rural and remote — roughly 1 mile to Ffarmers village (pub and community centre) and 8 miles to Lampeter for wider services — so this is best suited to buyers seeking seclusion, space or small-scale agricultural use.
Important negatives are plain: the cottage needs renovation and some roof/external wear is evident; the stone walls are likely uninsulated; private drainage and oil heating add running-cost considerations; and the property sits in a very remote, higher-deprivation area which may affect resale timelines. For the right buyer this is a characterful, chain-free smallholding with substantial land and conversion potential.
