Description

HOUSE + BUILDING PLOT. Well they don't come more picturesque than this ! If you're looking for a 4 bed detached character house set in large grounds with gorgeous views over open countryside with the additional benefit of having planning consent (now in perpetuity as site works have been commenced and the Council notified) to build a pair of semi detached houses then this property could be for you. Of course you don't have to build the two houses now or at any time but it could be an excellent future investment if a property were required for an elderly relative or child or both or alternatively for either cultivation or livestock keeping ! The main house dates to the late 19th century, and the earlier cottage annex dating to the 18th century. The cottage annex has potential for additional domestic development subject to permissions required. The property has been tastefully renovated and restored to conservation standards, retaining its original features and character, including exposed wooden ceilings, wooden paneling, two inglenook fireplaces, original quarry- tiles re-laid on insulate floors so offers comfortable living with old world charm set on a large plot of around half an acre.

Foelfechan is situated at the edge of Drefach with attractive views of the surrounding countryside. Drefach village has a newly built junior school and active Community Hall. 12 miles from New Quay and the Cardigan Bay coast. 5 miles from the University / Market town of Lampeter. 1.5 miles from the Market town of Llanybydder.
