Description
Nestled within the beautiful and tranquil Cwmerfyn Valley, this charming smallholding extends to approximately 6 acres and offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle. The property comprises a characterful two-bedroom farmhouse, a versatile detached annex, substantial barn, and useful outbuildings, all surrounded by picturesque countryside.
The main house features a spacious open-plan living/kitchen on the ground floor, while upstairs there are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is a working project with a lot of new high-end features but still requires some works to be completed and benefits from breathtaking views across the surrounding valley.
The detached annex is currently utilised as a home office, providing an ideal workspace for remote working or potential additional accommodation, subject to any necessary permissions. The annex also benefits from its own kitchen, shower room, office and ancillary space.
Outside, the land offers excellent potential for hobby farming, equestrian use, livestock, or smallholding activities. A substantial barn/workshop and additional outbuildings provide extensive storage and workshop space, adding further versatility to the property.
Combining rural charm, practical outbuildings, large parking area and approximately 6 acres of land, this smallholding offers a rare opportunity to enjoy country living in one of Mid Wales most sought-after areas. Situated roughly 7 miles from the bustling student town of Aberystwyth the property is ideally located for those seeking a quiet and peaceful life whilst still being connected to a larger town. Please note that all viewings are strictly by appointment only. **EPC was carried out before the air source heat pump had been installed**
