The Property

If ever there was a property which was more about the lifestyle it offers, than the stone, timber and mortar it has been built with, then this is it! While Upper Caeglas itself is a well presented, detached, 3 double bedroomed period house, it is the isolated location, the stunning encompassing scenery, the natural stream and brook, the adjoining Welsh countryside and the accompanying pasture land totalling approximately 2.5 acres, which will really spark your imagination. A million miles from the hustle and bustle of city life, if you have dreamed about moving to the countryside, having no near neighbours and your own slice of the 'good life' with a few sheep, chickens and perhaps a pony, well Upper Caeglas could allow that dream to become a reality!

Upper Caeglas is a characterful cottage, which has been upgraded and lovingly maintained by the current owners over the past 44 years and offers accommodation spanning over 2 floors to include 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, while on the ground floor there is a porch, living room, kitchen diner and a small rear hall. In addition, a large storage room is accessed off bedroom two, an airing cupboard is off bedroom one and a further cupboard is accessed from the bathroom. All windows in the house frame picturesque views over the surrounding countryside, while the living room features an inglenook fireplace with an inset 'Clearview' wood-burning stove, perfect to cosy up to on a cold winters day. The kitchen has stairs rising off to the first floor, as well as a solid-fuel range cooker.

Outside, the property is approached over a track through neighbouring fields. The front and side gardens are largely lawned with fenced borders and has an array of mature shrubs and trees, while a small stream from the neighbouring hillside runs down through the garden to a brook. Beyond the brook is the field, which as already mentioned totals approx. 2.5 acres. The brook runs through the field, which has well-defined fenced borders and a number of trees.

Offering the tranquillity so many of us desire, Upper Caeglas could be just what you are looking for if distant views, natural wildlife, beautiful countryside and rolling hills as far as the eye can see is what you are after.
