Description
General Remarks - Approached via a private gravelled driveway, Cefn Du Bach is a beautifully enhanced country cottage that has undergone significant improvements to both its land and facilities under the careful stewardship of the current owners. Thoughtfully extended, this charming part-timber-framed home now offers a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and family area — the heart of the house — where character and comfort blend seamlessly. Exposed wall timbers and ceiling beams add warmth and authenticity, whilst a striking brick chimney breast with inset stove creates a natural focal point. The wraparound kitchen features an oil-fired range cooker and has been designed with both style and practicality in mind, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike.
The glazed dining area enjoys an open aspect across the grounds and barns, inviting natural light whilst creating a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. Adjacent lies a practical boot room — ideal for country living. The sitting room continues the home’s rich character, with exposed wall timbers and ceiling beams adding warmth and texture, whilst an impressive chimney breast with inset stove provides a cosy focal point and enhances the room’s timeless charm.
The first floor is approached via a landing with a part-vaulted ceiling, adding a sense of space and light. The principal bedroom is a wonderfully atmospheric space, showcasing exposed A-frame timbers and ceiling beams that speak to the property’s heritage. Leading directly from the principal bedroom is a versatile third bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, offering flexible accommodation to suit a variety of needs. Bedroom two is equally as charming, with further exposed wall timbers and ceiling beams adding depth and character. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a stylish four-piece suite, including a dual-ended bath and a separate corner shower.
The property benefits from double glazing throughout and is served by an oil-fired central heating system. A recently installed private well provides a reliable water supply, while drainage is via a private septic tank system — offering a self-sufficient and environmentally considerate setup in keeping with the rural setting.
Externally - The land extends to approximately 17 acres and has seen significant investment and improvement under the current ownership, including full reseeding and the enhancement of the main driveway. A dual-access yard has been thoughtfully created to provide excellent manoeuvrability and ease of access. Within the grounds, a substantial four-bay open barn measuring approximately 70ft x 15ft offers scope for conversion into stabling or additional storage (subject to requirements). A versatile 80ft x 20ft workshop with twin doors, concrete base, power and lighting provides an exceptional multi-use space, ideal for a variety of agricultural, equestrian or leisure uses. A generous 20ft x 10ft field shelter, currently utilised as a log store, could easily be repurposed to suit a new owner's needs. For those with horticultural interests, a 31ft x 19ft greenhouse is flanked by two useful store rooms and sits alongside seven raised beds, offering real potential for a productive kitchen garden and the opportunity for a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
A substantial stone base has been laid with the intention of creating a ménagerie or arena, perfectly positioned close to both the yard and the cottage — an ideal addition for equestrian use or further development, subject to consents. To the rear of the property lies a spacious gravelled parking and turning area, providing ample space for multiple vehicles, horse boxes or trailers, and ensuring practical access throughout the grounds. The property has detailed planning consent for an extension planning reference number :- 24/1450/HH.
