Llanrhystud is approximately 8 miles equidistant to the towns of Aberaeron to the south, being an attractive Georgian harbour town renowned for its colourful houses, restaurants and cafes, and Aberystwyth to the north being a popular tourist and university town with many national retailers such as Next, M&S, Tesco etc., and also home to Aberystwyth University, Bronglais General Hospital and rail station.

Description

Rarely do we find that properties such as this become available with the benefit of planning consent for the construction of a replacement dwelling. This provides immense potential to develop a bespoke country home for the discerning purchaser.Copies of the planning permission are available either online from Ceredigion County Council planning department (reference A240430) or available from our offices upon request. The replacement dwelling has been sympathetically designed to utilise the natural stone walls with natural slate roof covering, also having an additional conservatory and the use of timber cladding to some elevations.

Internally

The cottage has been designed to provide an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area in part of the original cottage together with a feature sun lounge/sitting room to take advantage of the views over the land, with a further inner hallway leading to 3 bedrooms - one of which having an ensuite shower room, a main bathroom, store room and utility room also.

The lands

The property is offered initially with just over 5 acres of land, being 2 fields of traditional hay meadows leading down to a pretty stream boundary. Both fields have access on to a council maintained road for ease of access.

Services

Prospective purchasers would be required to connect to mains electricity, provide a water supply (probably in the form of a borehole as we understand there is no mains water immediately available) and provide private drainage facilities.
