3 bed country house for sale

Cwmystwyth SY23

This unique property, believed to have been established around 1904, was formerly the village primary school and has since been sympathetically converted to provide a spacious and versatile family home. It is situated in the small rural village of Cwmystwyth, nestled in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains and conveniently located near the larger villages of Ponterwyd and Devil’s Bridge, famed for its historic waterfalls and scenic railway.
Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.4 acres, the property enjoys outstanding countryside views to the rear—an outlook that is particularly striking from the mezzanine floor inside the home, designed to make the most of the surrounding landscape. The accommodation within is expansive and flexible and also offer further lower ground floor space and offering the potential for multi-generational living or, subject to the necessary planning consents, conversion into smaller residential units or a self-contained annex.
While the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation, it already benefits from central heating and double glazing to the majority of its windows, providing a solid base from which to create a highly individual residence tailored to a variety of needs. Its generous proportions and high ceilings reflect its origins as a public building, and many of the original features contribute to its character and charm.
The location combines rural tranquillity with convenient access to services and attractions. The coastal town of Aberystwyth lies approximately 16 miles to the west and offers a wide range of local and national retailers, as well as being home to the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth University, and Bronglais General Hospital. The town also benefits from a mainline railway station, offering connections to Shrewsbury, the Midlands, and beyond.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property rich in history and character, offering superb views, generous grounds, and significant potential for further development or adaptation to suit a variety of lifestyles.
