Price guide: £380,000. A charming two- or three-bedroom traditional-style cottage set in approximately 2.6 acres of gardens and wooded grounds, in an exceptionally private, secluded and tranquil setting.
The cottage is believed to date from the early to mid-1800s and has not been offered on the open market since 1964. Some parts of the cottage and the outbuildings require refurbishment. The third bedroom, a more recent addition, requires painting and decorating to suit its new owner and is currently accessible only by ladder.
Sunny and south-facing, the property is bordered by a small stream. The hamlet is served by school transport, including services to the secondary schools in Llandeilo and Carmarthen. A short drive away, Brechfa has a church, a community-run village shop and a popular pub and restaurant.
Brechfa Forest and Llanllwni Mountain offer scenic walking trails, mountain-biking routes and horse-riding opportunities. Llandeilo, Lampeter and Carmarthen are within easy reach, as is the A48 dual carriageway, which connects to the M4 for travel across South Wales and beyond.
The cosy, traditional-style cottage has central heating from a multi-fuel eco-boiler, with additional hot water provided by an immersion heater. Room sizes are approximate; please refer to the floor plan.
The main entrance is through a front porch, with a door opening into a large reception and living room. The room has partial stone-tile flooring, the main multi-fuel eco-boiler at one end and a smaller log burner at the other. Stairs rise to the first floor, with a cupboard beneath them.
A door leads to the kitchen, which has built-in storage cupboards with hardwood surfaces, a stainless-steel sink, plumbing for a washing machine and a gas-fired range cooker. The main shower room is off the kitchen and includes a shower cubicle, wash basin and WC.
On the first floor are two bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. A ladder in the kitchen leads to the potential third bedroom, which has glazed double doors opening onto a Juliet balcony and an en-suite bathroom with a bath, WC and wash basin.
The grounds include lawns, mature ornamental shrubs and flowers, a paddock with fruit trees and ornamental conifers that is mostly fenced, and areas of natural woodland.
An old stone structure has been refurbished as a secure, serviceable chicken house. A cleared, level area close to the house has been partly prepared for a garden room or chalet. The 4 sq m workshop has electricity with its own meter, and there is an external motorhome power socket. A covered vehicle area is alongside.
Several old outbuildings are in disrepair but may have potential for refurbishment. A small amount of Japanese knotweed has been identified on the grounds, and an eradication programme has commenced.
The land extends to approximately 2.6 acres, or about 1.1 hectares, in total.
