The Property

Abernant Cottage is a most attractive property packed full of character in the heart of mid-Wales. Formerly part of the grounds of Abernant House which has recently been sold, the final piece of the jig-saw is to sell the cottage. With gardens and grounds that extended to approximately 2 acres, of which 1.5 acres forms a useful pasture paddock, with a detached stone barn, numerous sheds, stables and a walled garden the cottage is available to purchase with no onward chain.

The cottage itself is packed full of character with modern, tasteful kitchen and bathroom suites. It has been well decorated throughout, enhancing the character feel. The ground floor has one large open reception room, with a wood burning stove, wood flooring and exposed beams. Exactly as you would hope to find in such a cottage! The kitchen is at the rear and offers modern units that are innkeeping with the feel of the cottage, from here there is an external door to the rear garden.

Previously offering two bedrooms but more recently it has been altered to offer one large open bedroom, this could be returned if required back to the original layout or extended with the addition of an additional bedroom above the kitchen (subject to gaining any necessary permissions). The room has two windows to the front and is a lovely open space with ample room for numerous wardrobes. The bathroom, fitted with a white suite, has a separate bath and shower. It is again well maintained and presented for sale.

A delightful cottage complimented by fantastic grounds and outbuildings!

Outside

Externally the immediate formal gardens which surround the property have been well maintained with numerous established plants, shrubs and lawns. Works have been carried out recently with a new gravelled pathway with railway sleepers providing access along the side of the cottage to the rear. There are further raised beds, a seating area and a detached stone store shed. The garden is bordered by the free-flowing stream which also borders the garage, buildings and yard on the opposite side.

The grounds extend to just over 2 acres in total, with 1.5 acres a useful pasture paddock with road side access. The original walled garden is in place, currently grass and is accessed via steps to the side of the detached stone barn. The barn itself has been used on the ground floor for storage but the first floor was previously used for tradesmen accommodation whilst undertaking works to the main house. Although very dated there is a kitchen, lounge and bedroom area offering huge potential. There is a substantial detached timber clad garage/workshop which is an impressive building (11.45m x 4.99m) with a concrete floor and roadside access.

There are numerous other outbuildings including stables, store sheds and a Dutch barn which together with the garage and large stone barn create a private yard area. This currently has a redundant feel but offers great potential to return to its former glory.
