Nightingale Street, Abercanaid CF48

A Restored Piece of History, Grade II Listed One Bedroom Miners’ Cottage, 9 Nightingale Street, Abercanaid

Tucked away in the heart of Abercanaid, this beautiful Grade II listed miners’ cottage offers the perfect blend of heritage and modern comfort. Once part of the village’s proud mining past, the cottage has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully modernised, creating a unique home where original character meets contemporary luxury.

From the moment you step inside, the cottage enchants with its rich history. Original features have been carefully preserved, including a flagstone floor, a striking exposed fireplace with wood burner, and a cast-iron spiral staircase framed by exposed stone walls, a dramatic centrepiece that connects both floors and echoes the cottage’s 19th-century roots.

As you enter the hallway, you’ll find a practical storage room to the right, currently used as a secure bike store, followed by a stylish modern bathroom and a utility cupboard. Opposite, the heart of the home opens up into a characterful yet modern reception room, kitchen, and dining space. Here, a fully fitted contemporary kitchen blends seamlessly with the stone fireplace, creating a space that’s as functional as it is charming.

Climb the spiral staircase and you’re greeted by a surprisingly spacious master bedroom, where exposed stone walls add warmth, depth, and a timeless quality. This unique space combines rustic character with modern comfort, offering a truly special retreat.

The outside spaces have been designed for both relaxation and adventure. To the rear, a low maintenance garden with patio and AstroTurf offers plenty of space for entertaining, with dedicated seating areas, a stone BBQ, and even a mini golf setup. For cycling enthusiasts, there’s a dedicated bike wash and tool station, alongside the indoor bike store. At the end of the garden, a private driveway provides secure off-road parking for 2–3 vehicles.
