Set in roughly eight acres of elevated Welsh countryside, this detached two-bedroom stone cottage offers authentic period character and significant smallholding potential. Internally the house is tastefully presented with slate floors, exposed stone walls, beams and generous room proportions — the larger bedroom could be divided to create extra accommodation. A substantial traditional stone barn and several outbuildings provide scope for hobby farming, storage or conversion subject to planning consent.
The land is a major asset: sloping wild meadows, planted trees, two ponds and a mountain stream that feeds the property’s private water supply. There is scope to create paddocks, equestrian facilities or a smallholding enterprise, with a country lane along the northern boundary giving potential direct access to the higher fields.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Services include mains electricity but private water and drainage are in place; broadband is very slow and mobile signal is only average. The cottage’s stone walls appear to have no insulation (assumed) and the property is pre-1900 construction, so buyers should budget for modernisation and any works to meet current energy and building standards.
This property will suit buyers seeking a rural lifestyle: hobby farmers, buyers looking for a character smallholding or someone wanting a renovation/project with land. The barn offers development potential (subject to planning), but any conversion or major upgrades should be planned and budgeted for before purchase.
