Property description
Nestled in a serene valley in Llandyssil, a short drive from the market town of Montgomery, Malt House Cottage presents a delightful 18th-century traditional Welsh stone and slate detached cottage, a true "Escape to the Country" experience. This unique property, benefiting from a complete new roof fitted in 2025, offers a picturesque wrap-around garden with the charming Llandyssil brook meandering through its plot, all surrounded by beautiful natural countryside. The property, although situated in a very private and secluded spot, still has neighbours located close by.
Internally, the cottage boasts 2/3 bedrooms, a downstairs shower room, a conservatory, and a large workshop, all enhanced by double-glazing and oil-fired central heating. Entering via the driveway, a utility area leads to a modern downstairs shower room with a corner cubicle, WC, and hand basin. The area flows seamlessly into a country-style kitchen. This space features tiled floors, fitted wall and base units with laminate work surfaces, an electric hob with extractor, an electric oven, a dishwasher, and a stainless steel sink drainer, complemented by exposed ceiling beams and double-glazed windows. A door opens to the inviting lounge, featuring new fitted carpets, an inglenook fireplace with a slate hearth and wood-burning stove, a staircase, a door to the front, and a double-glazed window. A door from the lounge also leads to the conservatory and a versatile second reception room/bedroom three, with a cupboard under the stairs housing the Worcester oil-fired boiler. This reception room/bedroom three, measuring 3.65m x 2.76m, offers new fitted carpet, double-glazed windows to the front and rear, exposed beams, and a radiator. The conservatory, a beautiful double-glazed space, provides panoramic views of the brook and gardens, with French doors and a radiator.
Ascending the staircase, the first-floor landing, with its new fitted carpet, heating timer controls, and exposed beams, leads to two bedrooms, both with new fitted carpets and double-glazed windows overlooking the front garden. The bathroom features a three-piece suite with a bath, electric shower, pedestal sink, and WC, along with an airing cupboard and a frosted double-glazed window.
Externally, Malt House Cottage occupies approximately 0.2 acres of gardens, accessed via a private driveway (with right of access) leading to off-road parking. The wrap-around garden includes lawned areas, stocked borders, a slated seating area overlooking the brook, a rear garden, a shed, an outside brick building providing useful outside storage, and a screened oil tank. A pedestrian footbridge crosses the brook, and a large link-detached timber workshop provides power and lighting.
This character property is perfect for multi-generational living or accommodating elderly residents, thanks to its versatile layout. The spacious second reception room offers the flexibility to be used as a third downstairs bedroom, providing comfort and convenience for those who prefer to avoid stairs. With a well-appointed downstairs shower room nearby, this setup ensures ease of access and practicality, making it an ideal solution for extended family members or guests needing their own space while maintaining a sense of togetherness within the home.
