Description

This charming detached cottage is nestled at the end of a private lane, offering a unique opportunity for renovation in a tranquil setting on the outskirts of a vibrant hamlet. Originally inhabited by notable Welsh language advocates Eileen and Trevor Beasley, the property is honored with a blue plaque from Llanelli community heritage, adding historical significance to its character. While the cottage requires comprehensive refurbishment, it presents a blank canvas for prospective buyers. The layout includes an entrance porch, a living room featuring a traditional fireplace, and a cozy sitting room that also boasts an open hearth — both rooms benefit from lovely bay windows that invite natural light. The kitchen/breakfast area features a skylight that could become a stunning focal point with some modern upgrades. A ground-floor bathroom adds convenience to the two upstairs bedrooms, both of which retain original wood plank flooring and period details. Surrounding the cottage are generous grounds currently overgrown but rich with potential. Mature trees and shrubs dot the landscape, allowing for thoughtful landscaping or gardening projects once cleared. With ample outdoor space, there is room for expansion or additional amenities, making this an enticing prospect for investors or those looking to create their ideal retreat. The location further enhances this property’s appeal, situated near various recreational opportunities including walking and cycling trails. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy local courses in Llandybie and Carmarthen, while cultural attractions like ancient castles and botanical gardens are within easy reach. Excellent educational institutions are located nearby in Gorslas, Cefneithin, Ammanford, and Carmarthen. Connected to mains electricity, water, and drainage services, this freehold property is poised for conversion into a modern home with respect for its historical roots. Given its unique characteristics and investment potential in an attractive locale, arranging a viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate what this cottage has to offer.
