A Delightful Detached Period Character House Occupying A Generous And Attractive Plot Within The Hea

This is a particularly appealing property, standing within its own good-sized grounds with gardens surrounding the house, principally laid to lawn together with a productive kitchen garden. The property also benefits from a detached garage and useful outbuildings, providing excellent storage and further potential for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents. The house has an interesting and somewhat unusual history, having formerly served as the village police house, with the adjoining outbuildings historically understood to have been used as the police cells. This fascinating history adds an individual character and story to what is already an attractive and distinctive village property. Internally, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and provides three well-proportioned reception rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The rooms are of good size and offer considerable flexibility for family living, working from home, entertaining or simply enjoying the generous space this character home provides. The property retains traditional construction, being built principally of local stone walls with rendered external elevations, beneath a pitched roof clad in natural slate. Heating is provided by an oil-fired central heating system. The surrounding gardens are a particular feature of the property, offering a combination of open lawned areas and kitchen garden, providing ample space for gardening enthusiasts, children and outdoor entertaining. The detached garage adds further practicality. The property occupies a convenient position close to the village square within Llanilar, a popular and well-established commuter village situated approximately a short drive from Aberystwyth. Llanilar provides an excellent range of everyday amenities for a village of its size, including a village shop, primary school, doctors’ surgery, church, garage and vehicle repair facilities and a popular public house. The village is also well placed for access to Aberystwyth and the surrounding countryside. For those who enjoy walking and cycling, the nearby Ystwyth Trail provides an excellent recreational route, with access towards Aberystwyth and through the attractive surrounding countryside.
