A traditional granite farmhouse set within approximately 10 acres, Gwernant is a genuine small‑holding with abundant scope for family life, hobby farming or commercial uses. The three-bedroom, two-reception layout retains period character — exposed beams, fireplaces — while practical upgrades such as full triple glazing (2019) and an oil-fired boiler are already in place.
The site’s main strengths are its scale and buildings: six paddocks, a large steel-framed barn with lean-to, traditional agricultural sheds, workshops and generous yard parking. There is clear potential to extend the living accommodation into adjacent farm buildings, subject to planning, or to continue letting land to local farmers as a revenue stream. Fast estimated fibre broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or small tourism businesses.
Buyers should note the property’s trade‑offs honestly. The farmhouse is pre‑1900 with stone walls assumed uninsulated, heating is oil‑fired and some outbuildings need modernization. The access is via a shared private lane and a neighbouring property has a right of access across part of the drive. Council Tax is band E (above average) and the wider area records high deprivation levels — services beyond the village are limited.
For families seeking space, smallholders or buyers seeking an equestrian/agricultural base, Gwernant offers a rare block of land with immediate usable buildings and clear scope to add value through upgrading or planning-led extension. Viewings are best arranged with a clear sense of the renovation and planning tasks a purchaser will take on.
