Hengoed, Cliff Terrace, Aberystwyth, SY23

A distinguished 1950s detached home in one of Aberystwyth’s most desirable addresses

Set on Cliff Terrace – widely regarded as one of Aberystwyth’s premier residential roads – Hengoed is a beautifully presented detached property dating from the 1950s. Recently refurbished to a high standard by the current owners, the home combines the character of its original design with stylish, modern finishes, creating a family residence of both charm and comfort.

Ground Floor

A welcoming entrance porch with UPVC double-glazed security door opens into a bright entrance hall with attractive woodblock flooring, staircase to the first floor, and access to all principal rooms. From here, a cloakroom provides a vanity wash hand basin, low-level WC, mosaic tile flooring, heated towel rail, and double-glazed window. An understairs cupboard offers useful storage, and a feature radiator adds a touch of character.

To the right, the dining room is front-facing and filled with natural light via a UPVC double-glazed window. The space is enhanced by a feature radiator, fireplace, woodblock flooring, and a serving hatch through to the kitchen – ideal for both family life and entertaining.

The kitchen has been completely refitted with a quality range of base-level units finished with attractive wooden work surfaces. A butler sink with feature mixer attachment sits beneath part-tiled walls, while two ovens and a five-burner gas hob are set beneath a statement extractor hood. A wall-mounted feature radiator, open shelving, and excellent pantry storage with its own side window complete the space.

The sitting room is a highlight of the ground floor – dual aspect and continuing the attractive woodblock flooring. Two large double-glazed windows flood the room with light, complemented by refitted radiators. The space offers a perfect canvas for mid-century furnishings, echoing the home’s 1950s heritage while suiting contemporary taste.

First Floor

A wide staircase rises to a spacious landing, naturally illuminated by a picture window. This area provides access to a loft space, a large storage cupboard (currently housing the washing machine and tumble dryer), and a further airing cupboard.

The principal bedroom is front-facing with a generous UPVC picture window framing views across Cliff Terrace and the leafy lane. A refitted period-style radiator adds charm to the light, elegant space.

Bedroom Two, also front aspect, mirrors this arrangement with similar window proportions and outlook, making it an excellent double room.

Bedroom Three, presently used as a study, enjoys a spectacular side aspect with sweeping sea views over the Cambrian coastline and promenade – a rare and enviable feature. A large picture window and replacement period radiator make this room a standout, whether as a bedroom, workspace, or creative studio.

The accommodation is served by a beautifully presented family bathroom, styled in keeping with the property’s mid-century heritage. The suite features an original Shanks pedestal wash hand basin with replacement taps, a matching low-level WC, and a panel-enclosed bath in white with mixer tap. A large walk-in shower unit sits to one side, finished with complementary period-inspired tiling. Mosaic flooring, a heated towel rail, a lighted medicine cabinet, and a UPVC double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden complete this elegant and practical space.

Garden

To the front, Hengoed is approached via a mature garden with established flower and shrub beds. This area offers the potential – with minimal alteration – to be reconfigured as private parking if desired.

At the rear, a patio terrace provides a pleasant space for outdoor dining, with steps leading to a gently inclining garden. This upper section is laid mainly to lawn and bordered by mature hedging on both sides, ensuring privacy and seclusion. The setting is further enhanced by its proximity to the woodland, cliffs, and the renowned coastal path to Constitution Hill, which remain ever-present and offer immediate access to the natural beauty of Aberystwyth’s celebrated seafront.
