Description
Bryngoleu offers an improvable residential smallholding extending to 5.20 acres or thereabouts of land including a detached two storey residence of which the original part dates back to 1904, with a later extension built circa 1972 under a flat roof. Providing generous living space (five reception rooms) and five bedrooms the residence is ideally suited as a family home and the versatile accommodation could also be suitable as a B&B or similar. This delightful and characterful property does require renovation but is habitable in its current state and offers interested parties with considerable scope for improvement and would be ideally suited to those looking to embark on a sympathetic renovation project.
Standing within an additional 0.37 acres or thereabouts of grounds, we would advise that most of the grounds are located to the rear of the property. The gardens are certainly considered a gardener’s paradise and include a variety of well-established flower beds, mature shrubs, trees and bushes. But there remains scope to add your own mark to the grounds, which are ideally suited to those looking for generous outside space. A lovely addition to the property is the land which is situated the other side of the lane and extends to 5.20 acres or thereabouts which offers considerable amenity appeal but does require some improvement. A stone and slate outbuilding is located within the rear garden which would provide a lovely studio.
