Summary - HAFOD OWEN DOLFACH LLANBRYNMAIR SY19 7AF
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Large plot off-grid retreat with character and renovation potential.
Secluded detached stone cottage with extensive, wooded plot
Hafod Owen is a secluded stone cottage set in a very large, heavily wooded plot offering genuine privacy and countryside outlooks. The house retains period character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces with log burners and a traditional farmhouse kitchen with a Velux roof window — and benefits from double glazing fitted after 2002 and dual-fuel heating (boiler plus wood). Off-grid services include generator power, spring water and a private septic tank, so the property suits buyers seeking self-sufficiency.
The cottage requires renovation and some repair: walls are original sandstone/limestone with assumed no insulation, internal fittings show wear and there are signs of damp in parts of the kitchen. Access is remote and a 4x4 is recommended; the access track is a permissive right of way shared with neighbours and has shared maintenance responsibilities. The lot will be sold at auction with an immediate-exchange, non-conditional process and a buyer's premium payable on completion.
For a buyer prepared to carry out works, Hafod Owen offers significant upside — large outbuilding and carport, plentiful parking, extensive gardens and fenced areas including a polytunnel and kennels. The plot is rare for its size in this remoter agricultural setting and is suitable for a quiet retirement retreat, a sympathetic restoration to create a character home, or conversion for an income-producing countryside let, subject to consents. Council tax is modest (Band C reported).
