Never judge a property by its façade because you never know what delights are hiding behind a front door, waiting to surprise you. If you can find it tucked away in the glorious Ceredigion countryside along a peaceful country lane as part of a tiny village then this cute cottage is a perfect example.

Called Dinorwic, this little sweetie calls the hamlet of Cnwch Coch its home, located in the stunning Vale of Ystwyth, near the coastal university town of Aberystwyth offering a choice of amenities and facilities, shops and venues to socialise.

The coast and the country are the surrounding nature neighbours with the area well known as a hot spot for hiking and biking, rambling and riding and then heading off to the coast nearby to catch some waves or paddle with the children at a choice of stunning sandy beaches and cute coves.

Sean Roper, of Paul Fosh Auctions says the one of a kind, two-bedroom terraced cottage could be a dream come true for the new owner. Listed with a guide price of £68,000-plus Sean says there has already been keen interest in the quirky lot which has been renovated using a range of traditional methods and materials to complete its look.

Sean says: "This is a truly charming cottage which really has the lot. It is traditional and also up to date modern. It looks awesome from inside and out and is also in a really wonderful location. It could very well be a dream property for someone and I know quite a few people have already had a look at the particulars on this one.

"Dinorwic has been and could well again be an ideal family home for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city or town life or could alternatively be used as a holiday let of Airbnb. The vendors have improved the property with existing dormer extension being rebuilt in 2020 which benefits from vented roof with fibreglass covering and Siberian larch cladding.

"Sustainable materials have been used as much as possible. There is, for example, the use of sheep’s wool for insulation, wood fibre board and some of the walls have been plastered with hemp lime plaster from Ty Mawr in Brecon. We have a comprehensive list of improvements, which have been provided by the vendors, which is in the legal pack and can be viewed by prospective buyers."

On the ground floor of the cottage is the entrance, cosy reception room with log burner, inner hall, bathroom and kitchen while there is a landing and the two bedrooms on the first floor - it's far more space than the cute front exterior suggests and proves that a property should not be judged on first impressions.

The space continues at the rear of the cottage with a garden that is substantial, meandering far back into the mature trees and shrubs where a shed and treehouse are waiting to surprise you with their hidden existence. Turn around and the view across the row of cottages across the picturesque valley is a wonderful bonus.

There's ample space for alfresco dining and entertaining friends and family with summer BBQs and parties on a decked area or the house-hugging patio, oodles of space for dogs and children to dash about and spend some energy including in a surprise sandpit, and even the opportunity to allocate some space to growing your own produce to make this escape to the country lifestyle change complete and pretty perfect.
