Swn Yr Afon, Capel Bangor, Ceredigion

Swn Yr Afon—meaning "Sound of the River"—is a beautifully presented and exceptionally versatile detached bungalow, perfectly positioned in the highly sought-after village of Capel Bangor. Occupying an enviable setting along the picturesque country road leading towards the renowned Cwm Rheidol Valley, the property enjoys a tranquil backdrop with a charming stream flowing along the rear boundary, creating a peaceful and idyllic environment.

Offering spacious and flexible accommodation, the property is currently arranged as a substantial three-bedroom bungalow together with a fully self-contained one-bedroom annexe. Both are separately assessed for Council Tax, making the property ideal for multi-generational living, dependent relatives, guest accommodation, holiday letting (subject to any necessary consents), or supplementary income. Equally, the accommodation could be easily reconfigured to create one impressive family home, which would provide up to 5 bedrooms.

The principal residence offers a welcoming entrance leading off into a bright and spacious living room, a well-appointed kitchen/dining room, a modern family bathroom, and three bedrooms – one of which is currently utilised as a home gym. The impressive and very well apportioned principal bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room and an adjoining dressing room, providing an excellent private suite.

The self-contained annexe enjoys its own independent front entrance, whilst also offering internal access via the home gym if preferred. The accommodation comprises a comfortable living room, fitted kitchen/dining room, double bedroom and bathroom, providing complete independence without compromising connectivity to the main home.

The property also offers modern efficiency, enhanced by all of the windows – bar one, being triple glazed, a recently installed solar heating and hot water system, helping to reduce running costs while improving environmental performance.

The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's finest features. To the rear, the peaceful stream provides a wonderful soundtrack to everyday life, with a superb paved entertaining terrace complete with an integral barbecue overlooking the water. A substantial timber deck offers further space for outdoor dining and relaxation, making the most of the beautiful surroundings.

The generous plot also includes extensive lawned gardens, ample off-road parking for several vehicles, and plenty of space for families, gardening enthusiasts or simply enjoying the tranquillity of this delightful countryside setting. There is also a further area which is suitable for a caravan or trailer parking.

The property is situated within the village of Capel Bangor, a popular village situated approximately four miles east of Aberystwyth, offering the perfect balance between rural tranquillity and convenient access to the town's extensive amenities. The property is ideally positioned for exploring the spectacular Cwm Rheidol Valley, one of Mid Wales' most scenic landscapes. Renowned for its ancient woodlands, dramatic hillsides and the beautiful Rheidol River, the valley is a haven for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. Nearby attractions include the famous Devil's Bridge Waterfalls, the historic Vale of Rheidol Railway, and miles of breathtaking countryside offering outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The vibrant university and coastal town of Aberystwyth provides an excellent range of amenities and services. Home to the prestigious National Library of Wales and Aberystwyth University, the town enjoys a rich cultural and educational heritage. Residents benefit from an extensive selection of local independent shops alongside national retailers, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with a wide range of both local and national employers, including Welsh Government offices and other public sector organisations.

Excellent transport links include the town's main railway station, providing direct services to Shrewsbury, the Midlands, North Wales and onward national rail connections. The Victorian promenade stretches gracefully along the beautiful Cardigan Bay coastline, offering spectacular sea views, while the attractive marina and harbour provide further opportunities to enjoy the town's unique coastal setting.

Combining spacious and adaptable accommodation, outstanding outdoor space and an idyllic riverside location, Swn Yr Afon presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly versatile home suited to families, multi-generational living or those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat within easy reach of Aberystwyth. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this exceptional property has to offer.
