Brooklands is a significant property in the history of Llanrhystud. This three bedroom semi-detached cottage has been extended in recent years and now offers a good sized character property situated in an extremely convenient location between Aberystwyth and Aberaeron.
The property offers a sitting room / dining room, a kitchen to the front and a large breakfast / reception room to the rear. Upstairs there are three bedrooms with family bathroom and to the rear, there is what used to be the village bakery which used to provide the bread for the residents and local villages around. Behind this useful outbuilding which can be repurposed for other uses (subject to planning), there is also a large rear garden with outstanding country views to the Y Foel as well as views across to the parish church & fields, the River Wyre also runs on the other side of the road. To the side of the property there is a carport leading into a large shed with an outside toilet and the property also benefits from carport / garage and the front of the property offers views across to the church in Llanrhystud. There's no onward chain and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the rare opportunity to purchase a property in this area.
Vendor Interview:
We inherited our family home in 2020, we're the 4th generation to own Brooklands. It was formerly part of a village pub "Mabws Arms"...our great grand parents purchased this and neighbouring properties in the 1918 parish village sale.
Steeped in the village history, this family home has lots of character, solid stone built, cosy cottage feel right in the centre of the village with an elevated position.
The property has changed over the decades...yet the old bake house from the late 50's "Wyre Bakery" named after the "River Wyre" that runs through the village into the sea, still stands at the back of the house and in the mature garden, which has so much potential for renovation for the next generation.
As kids & teens we loved living here. It continues to draw us back, where we follow our family traditions enjoying the relaxed laid back rural coastal village life, with many a days spent on the beautiful Green Coast Award beach, swimming in the sea & shrimping in the rock pools, just a 10 minute walk or 5 minutes cycle ride from the cottage. Its a place where you can get away from it all & breath in the fresh sea air with stunning views of Cardigan Bay & the coastal mountain backdrop... So much to do, walk the coastal path north or south of the village or hike up the iconic 'Y Foel' hillside that you have a stunning view of from the back of Brooklands and can watch the Red Kites circling.
Set right on the Ceredigion West Wales coast line on the A483 coast road 9 miles from Aberystwyth and 7 miles to Aberaeron, Llanrhystud is a sought after village location with excellent commuting facilities for work, schools, colleges & universities and easy access to the bigger towns and cities in North, South & Mid Wales.
The village has lots of local amenities, right on the doorstep, a welcoming village shop & post office, a florists, garage & small mini mart, friendly village pub, golf club with spa & gym, caravan parks, takeaway cafes, hairdressers, playground, football pitch & a local team, a primary school, community groups and village hall that are all the hub of the community.
