4 Bed Detached House For Sale

Believed to have been built some 400 years ago, Hafod Owen is a beautifully appointed historic Welsh stone cottage with comfortable accommodation laid out across two floors.

The ground floor compromises of a large open plan kitchen / living / dining space with wonderful, beamed ceilings and a striking inglenook fireplace with log burning stove to one end, together with the original stone stairs. There are several windows with deep slate sills giving delightful views of the surrounding countryside. Adjacent is a large utility room and ground floor shower room.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing which gives access to the four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Of particular note is the principal bedroom, with its log burning stove and southerly views out to the hills. The bedrooms have high vaulted ceilings, with most also having exposed beams and solid oak floors. The second largest bedroom also has a log burning stove.

Over the years, the house has provided a holiday let income during periods of time when the owners have not been in residence, something which could be further capitalised on, if required. The cottage is double glazed throughout.

Garden and Grounds
Hafod Owen stands in wonderful, landscaped gardens with a large driveway to the south-western boundary. There are several terraced areas to both the front and rear, providing different viewpoints of the spectacular surrounding countryside.
