About this property

  • Breathtaking Valley Views

  • Character Property

  • Large Wraparound Garden

  • Selling Via Modern Method of Auction

A rare opportunity for a home in a spectacular rural setting, this detached cottage perches on an elevated and wonderfully secluded position overlooking the Ystwyth Valley. Sitting within a garden of approximately 0.4 acres, the property boasts breathtaking, far-reaching views, plenty of traditional character, and a location that is difficult to beat.

Stepping inside the living room immediately offers cosy character features from the exposed wooden beams and thick stone walls to an impressive open fireplace. Off the living space a generous double bedroom offers a useful level living option. To the rear of the home is the practical kitchen which leads through to a rear hallway and the well-equipped family bathroom. Completing the ground floor is a smart dining room enjoying large windows perfectly positioned to showcase the spectacular valley views, together with direct garden access. The rear hallway also provides access to the attached garage, currently used for storage, and to a staircase to the substantial double bedroom above.

Back in the living room a separate staircase leads to the remaining first floor accommodation. Currently used as two bedrooms, the roof space is divided into 3 rooms, the main two of which enjoy natural light from overhead Velux windows and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. Whilst the doorways to both these rooms are less than 5 feet, these make excellent additional accommodation, storage, or further potential development (with the appropriate planning).

Externally the cottage is nestled in the Ystwyth valley within approximately 0.4 acres of wraparound garden, making the truly outstanding views.

The setting is exceptionally peaceful just above the village of Cwmystwyth, with further natural beauty in the nearby locations of Elan Valley, Devils Bridge, and the Hafod estate. Further conveniences can be found in the bustling neighbouring town of Aberystwyth, making this the ideal location for those wanting an outdoor lifestyle, or somewhere quieter to enjoy the peace.
