The property is now a Registered Small Holding. A traditional detached period Welsh Stone Cottage in which the previous owners carried out a very sympathetic scheme of renovation to the original part of the cottage and added a substantial rear extension which has provided a delightful living room/kitchen/dining area, a light and airy room with double glazed doors opening onto the patio /garden which encompass the fabulous views to the north. The present owner has added additional kitchen units and a particular feature is the installation of a new solid fuel Esse stove which combines heating and cooking. To the original part of the cottage there is a cosy sitting room with a massive feature stone inglenook fireplace with a fitted multi fuel stove. A ladder provides access to a crog loft room with apex roof and sky light window and is presently utilised as an additional bedroom. An inner hall serves 2 further bedrooms and a modern white bathroom suite, pine latch doors, modern electric panel heaters, double glazed windows and outer doors. The property is connected to full fibre broadband. Other features include slate tiled flooring to the sitting room, the extension and bathroom,
Outside – The property is approached over a concrete single track that meanders up the hillside and this is a right of way to the property. (The track is shared by one other property). A gated entrance onto a private gravelled parking area within the boundary of the cottage with an extensive grassed area to the front/ side and a large dog kennels with a run and towards the bottom end of the garden a substantial caged chicken run and coop plus a timber garden shed. There is access onto the land in two enclosures with part dry stone walling and modern fencing to the boundaries with a timber animal pod lying within the grounds.
