A separate room currently arranged as a laundry room could also be used as a further bedroom, providing the potential for six-bedroom accommodation. The overall layout offers flexibility for larger households, multi-generational living or those requiring dedicated home working and hobby spaces.
Outside, the property occupies an impressive plot extending to approximately one acre. The front garden features a south-facing lawn, creating an attractive approach to the house, while the rear garden also enjoys a south-facing aspect and provides generous space for outdoor seating, entertaining, gardening and family activities.
Beyond the lawns lies the ancient oak woodland, creating a particularly distinctive feature of the grounds. The woodland provides a natural habitat for a variety of birds and other wildlife, with deer regularly visiting the garden. The River Ffrwdwllt forms the boundary to the north, adding to the natural character and appeal of the setting.
A large driveway provides parking for approximately ten vehicles, making the property well suited to households with multiple cars or those who regularly welcome visitors. The double garage offers further secure parking, storage or potential workshop space.
There is also the possibility of creating a separate building plot within the garden, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission and any other relevant consents. This offers an interesting opportunity for buyers considering future development, although any proposals would need to be assessed by the relevant planning authority.
