Enjoying a tranquil elevated location with views over the Dyfi Estuary, a stunningly set detached 3 bedroomed property together with approximately 1 acre of grounds.

Hafod Bach is totally private yet is easily accessible to the main A487 coastal trunk road on the outskirts of Furnace, the village being situated some 12 miles due north of Aberystwyth and some 6 miles due south of Machynlleth. Both the afore mentioned towns have a good range of amenities. There are delightful walks nearby including Artists Valley and the Wales Coast path. For wildlife enthusiasts , Dyfi Osprey Project RSPB Ynyshir and Ynyslas Nature Reserve are close at hand, as are the coastal resorts of Borth and Aberdyfi. The Dyfi estuary itself has Biosphere status.

Hafod Bach is approached over a private driveway and the large grounds are well stocked with trees, shrubs, plants and flowers. We include with these particulars a plan showing the extent of the boundaries. The dormer style bungalow has been recently refurbished and is well presented throughout with 2 bedrooms on the first floor, one of which has panoramic views over the Dyfi estuary and beyond. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a privately situated property but with access to a regular bus service to the trunk road with superbly presented accommodation.
