Set within roughly 5 acres on the edge of Cwmpengraig, this 1869 Grade II listed cottage offers generous land, original period charm and practical outbuildings. The house is deceptively spacious, with four bedrooms, two reception rooms, and a large kitchen/diner anchored by an inglenook fireplace and wood burner. Mature trees, a stream-bordered paddock and woodland give immediate smallholding potential and strong privacy.
The parcel includes a detached workshop with a distinctive thatched roof, additional stone-built outbuildings and a greenhouse. Formerly two cottages, the main dwelling could be reconfigured again to create multigenerational or self-contained accommodation, subject to the necessary listed-building consents. Heating is by oil-fired central heating and the property benefits from three parking areas and a registered smallholding number.
Important practical points are clear: the Grade II listing will constrain alterations and any conversion of outbuildings requires consent. Thatched roofing and older fabric need ongoing maintenance and specialist care. The location is remote — peaceful and private but in a very deprived rural area with average mobile signal; fast broadband helps, but travel to larger towns is required for many services.
This is a property for buyers who value historic character, land and privacy and who accept the responsibilities that come with listed, period buildings. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the plot, workshop opportunities and the mix of original features and usable outbuildings.
