Description
Unique conversion of a former cider mill and cottage, set in 2.5 acres on the edge of Llangovan village with stunning countryside views. Records date back to pre 1780 where this now family home was once a two up, two down cottage and separate mill. Over the years the conversion linked the two buildings, with a full rewire and further two extensions, creating a bespoke family home full of character.
