Description
2 Maesgwm is a traditional three-bedroom semi-detached property set within approximately 15.02 acres of predominantly rough grazing, offering an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking a rural lifestyle, space for livestock, or simply the benefit of extensive surrounding land.
The property requires comprehensive refurbishment and modernisation. Much of the interior has already been stripped back, with some renovation works commenced, providing an ideal blank canvas for a new owner to complete the project to their own specification. Works are likely to include reconfiguring the internal layout, installing a central heating system, and carrying out further improvements to create a comfortable modern home.
Despite its current condition, the property retains a wealth of character features, including an impressive inglenook fireplace with its original bread oven and attractive exposed beamed ceilings.
The property benefits from a private hillside water supply, while drainage is provided via a shared septic tank serving the adjoining property.
A particular feature of the property is the adjoining land, extending to approximately 15.02 acres. The land is accessed directly from the house and also benefits from a vehicular and pedestrian right of way over the adjoining access track, providing convenient access throughout the holding. Part of the land is bordered by a river.
The property is expected to appeal to purchasers seeking a refurbishment project with significant potential, allowing them to create a home tailored to their own tastes. Its combination of substantial land, traditional character, and semi-rural setting, while still benefiting from a small community of neighbouring properties, makes it an increasingly rare opportunity.
The accommodation briefly comprises: entrance into the kitchen, hallway, potential shower room, sitting room, first-floor landing, three bedrooms, and a family bathroom.
Externally, the property benefits from a stable, a store shed, and a dilapidated former cowshed at the top of the land, which offers further potential for rebuilding or alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and statutory consents.
