An unusual smallholding of approx 3.5 acres set close to Aberystwyth and featuring a 4 bed detached cottage with a range of outbuildings. The cottage was once a travellers inn, and dates back to the mid 1800s. It still retains plenty of character and charm and is much bigger inside than one might think.

This detached cottage has an unusual layout, appearing much larger inside than it should, and particularly so upstairs. It has, on the ground floor, two reception rooms plus a through kitchen / diner (complete with bar!). Upstairs there are four good sized bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom certainly has space to add an en suite if desired.

The kitchen and bathroom are newly installed, but elsewhere, the property retains plenty of old features and character.

To the other side of the house there is a further area of off road parking giving access to the workshop / barn.

Beyond the barn is a stone SHED 6.2m x 3.7m (20’ x 12’2) and beyond this 2 open PENS / STORES previously used for goats.

If required, and with the necessary consent, it should be possible to extend the accommodation into the stone barn. In this way, it may be possible to create a self-contained annexe for extended family, B&B etc.

The Land

The land lies mainly to the rear and one side of the property. There are approx 3.5 acres of hillside on the one side of the road, with a small amount (perhaps ½ to ¾ acre) of rough land across the road.

The land has been split into distinct areas which include:

• A flat orchard lined on both sides with apple trees and with large grass area between

• Approx. 1 acre of rough land, mostly bracken which would be ideal for pigs or goats
• Barbecue / seating area with fine views over the house to open country beyond

• 1 acre oak woodland
• Several areas of birch woodland, particularly to the boundaries. Some of this woodland has been coppiced in the past, and offers an excellent supply of free fuel.
• Terraced vegetable garden and flower borders.
• Large chicken run

SERVICES

Mains water, electricity and private drainage. There is also a private water supply. Oil-fired central heating.
