A delightful 4 bed cottage, sympathetically modernised and yet retaining a wealth of original features, together with stables and a stone outbuilding (ideal for conversion subject to necessary consents) and approximately 28 acres land, mostly mature woodland.

Felin Newydd is a charming cottage that has been modernised to a high standard and benefits from oil-fired central heating and a modern kitchen and bathroom.

The Land

There are approximately 23 acres of mature woodland. This lies to both sides of the river and a newly installed bridge links the pathways on each side. The woodland is home to a wide variety of wild flowers, birds and animals and also, of course, a useful source of fuel. Paths have been cleared giving access for amenity and management (these are suitable for a quad and trailer).

The remaining land consists of the gardens etc immediately around the house and flat grazing land.

The property extends to approximately 28 acres in total.
