Description

This charming detached home, owned by the same family for nearly 43 years, is set within approximately 0.6 acres of well-established grounds featuring a picturesque stream boundary. Conveniently located about 4 miles from Newcastle Emlyn and 6 miles from Cardigan town, it offers easy access to schools and various amenities. The property showcases its original stone construction from the 1800s, complemented by a later conversion in the 1960s. With four bedrooms, two reception rooms, a galley kitchen, and an integral garage, this residence presents a substantial blank canvas for the next owners to personalize and create a comfortable family home. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a hallway that provides space for storage. The living room, measuring approximately 5.70m in length, is filled with natural light from a large picture window overlooking the front grounds and features a cozy fireplace. The dining room and kitchen are located at the rear, with the kitchen equipped with fitted cupboards and pleasant views of the side garden. A separate entrance leads to a useful porch and ground-floor W.C., while access to the integral garage is available from the dining room, offering potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to planning consent. The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles, with the two largest enjoying elevated views of the mature front gardens. The family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and shower. Externally, the property is approached via a minor council-maintained road, featuring gated off-road parking for two vehicles at the rear. The beautifully landscaped grounds predominantly lie to the front and side of the house, showcasing a variety of mature trees and shrubs. Notable features include a magnificent horse chestnut tree and several inviting seating areas around the stone-faced terrace. A charming stream meanders along the lower boundary, enhancing the picturesque setting. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, setting, and potential this property offers.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This delightful detached home, owned by the same family for nearly 43 years, presents an exciting opportunity for renovation enthusiasts. With a guide price of £375,000, the property is priced attractively at £194/sqf, which is notably below the local average of £234/sqf. This makes it a compelling option for those looking to acquire a house with potential for significant value-add through refurbishment.

The interiors are dated and exhibit general wear, particularly in the living areas and bedrooms, but they remain functional. The galley kitchen and bathroom also require updating, offering a blank canvas for modernisation. The generous plot size of approximately 0.6 acres, combined with its well-maintained exterior and attractive gardens, enhances the appeal. With renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £120,000, there is ample scope to create a comfortable family home tailored to personal tastes. However, be aware that bidding can drive the eventual price above the guide, so it’s essential to plan accordingly.

Key opportunities

  • Generous plot size of approximately 0.6 acres, providing scope for landscaping and outdoor improvements.
  • Potential to convert the integral garage into additional living space, subject to planning consent.
  • Four well-proportioned bedrooms create a solid foundation for a family home redesign.

Key risks

  • Potential structural concerns noted, which should be assessed before proceeding.
