Description
*A MUST SEE PROPERTY* *APPROX. 7 ACRES*
Occupying a lovely position at the foot of Sugar Loaf Mountain in the rural hamlet of Cynghordy, near the market town of Llandovery, this attractive three-bedroom detached cottage offers an excellent balance of countryside living and accessibility to local amenities. The accommodation comprises two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room and a ground-floor shower room. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing comfortable and flexible living space.
Externally, the property is set within approximately 7 acres of gently sloping pasture land split between 3 separate paddocks that are interconnecting, currently grazed and well suited to equestrian use or livestock. The land benefits from direct road access, and there is the option to purchase an additional 17.5 acres of woodland which includes an agricultural shed, offering further potential for farming, leisure or diversification. Set back from the road, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy along with open views across the surrounding countryside. The property benefits from easy access from the land to a bridlepath that leads to numerous horse-riding, mountain biking and hiking trails within the Crychan Forest and the Epynt Ranges beyond.
A comprehensive range of versatile outbuildings enhances the property’s appeal. These include a garage with an attached carport, a substantial steel-framed barn or warehouse with mezzanine, a Dutch barn with lean-tos to either side, two adjoining workshops, a hobby room with electricity, a stable block, two storage sheds and a polytunnel. Together, these buildings provide excellent potential for business use, storage or equestrian facilities.
The gardens are equally appealing. To the front is a lawned garden extending to the side, while a gravelled parking area provides off-road parking for several vehicles and access to the outbuildings. To the rear is a particularly attractive tiered garden with gravelled surrounds and a water feature, creating a peaceful outdoor space.
Despite its tranquil rural setting, the property is conveniently located for Llandovery, which offers a range of independent shops, cafés and pubs. The town also benefits from a doctors’ surgery, leisure centre with gym and swimming pool, and both primary and secondary schools, including the well-regarded Llandovery College. A train station on the Heart of Wales Line provides links to Swansea and Shrewsbury, making this an excellent opportunity to enjoy a rural lifestyle without compromising on everyday convenience.
The property also benefits from fibre-to-the-premises broadband, LPG heating, a septic tank for drainage, and a private water supply from two independent sources: a well and a borehole.
Please note that an AML fee is chargeable once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks.
