Brynglessy is a substantial traditional stone farmhouse set on roughly 10 acres on the northern slopes of the Black Mountains, within the Brecon Beacons National Park. The site offers sweeping, panoramic views toward Hay Bluff and the Wye valley and occupies a prominent, secluded position near Hay-on-Wye. Two recent planning permissions unlock clear development value: a two-storey extension and conversion of agricultural buildings into two holiday lets plus an amenity space.
For an investor or small rural operator this is a rare packaged opportunity. The farmhouse (circa 5,000 sq ft) and large yard of outbuildings—including a 17m x 6m barn and a modern Dutch barn—provide flexibility for holiday accommodation, home-working or indoor recreation. The proposed extension creates a dramatic open-plan kitchen/living space with concertina doors to the views and a large gable master suite, while the barns are consented to become two holiday cottages and a multi-purpose area.
The property requires complete renovation throughout and services are basic: oil-fired central heating, private drainage and mains electricity and water to the farm buildings. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal. The location is remote and in a very deprived rural area, which will affect year-round occupancy and service access, but the Low crime rate, excellent local schools and proximity to Hay-on-Wye’s festivals support short-season visitor demand.
This is an opportunity to execute approved schemes or adapt them to a bespoke plan, but buyers must allow for a full refurbishment, ongoing maintenance of historic fabric and the practicalities of managing a remote holiday business. The combination of substantial accommodation, planning consents and large grounds makes Brynglessy of particular interest to those seeking a countryside investment or conversion project with strong tourism potential.
