A unique opportunity to purchase an established business and beautiful home in rural Ceredigion: comprising delightful 2 bed cottage dating from the 17th Century; range of useful outbuildings; 2 static caravans; thriving cycle centre; 2 race tracks for radio controlled models and a paddock – the whole extending to approximately 3 acres.

Soar is a stone and slate building, believed to date back to the seventeenth century. It has been sympathetically modernised and renovated to provide comfortable 2 bed accommodation whilst retaining all the character of the traditional cottage. Briefly, it comprises a large open-plan Living Room / Kitchen / Dining Room, a Conservatory, a Bathroom, a Hall and a Utility Room on the Ground Floor, with two Bedrooms on the First Floor. The property was updated under a grant in 2000 and, therefore, the work has been carried out to a high standard. It benefits from double-glazing and oil-fired central heating.

The Cycle Centre is located in a large modern building in the grounds. Cycle sales, hire and maintenance along with Control Freaks Radio Controlled Racing, selling radio controlled cars and using the two purpose-built race tracks in the grounds provide a thriving business and an exciting opportunity for a would-be purchaser. We are advised that the vendors are happy to discuss accounts and profits with serious viewers.

The property is situated just outside the village of Cilcennin, which benefits from a public house and a primary school. It is just a short journey to Aberaeron and the Cardigan Bay coast, while the University towns of Lampeter and Aberystwyth are just 10 and 15 miles away, respectively.
