Set well above the surrounding countryside, this former dwelling, barn and hayshed occupy 22.7 acres of grazing land with uninterrupted panoramic views. The site offers a genuine off‑grid lifestyle with a spring water source on site and mains water close by (connection subject to regulation). Access is via an unmade lane and the nearest village is Hyssington; the nearest towns are Bishop’s Castle and Montgomery.
The buildings are dilapidated and require comprehensive renovation or rebuilding. A pre‑planning enquiry with Powys County Council indicated the principle of reinstating an abandoned dwelling is likely acceptable, subject to policy evidence and a full design submission. There is currently no electricity to the buildings; historically a telephone line existed. This is therefore a project for someone prepared to manage planning, utilities connections and full refurbishment works.
For an experienced developer, smallholder or buyer seeking seclusion and land, the site offers substantial potential:bring a design sympathetic to the landscape and you could create a unique home with sweeping views and extensive land for grazing, woodland or smallholding uses. The location is private with no immediate neighbours and low local crime, but note the remoteness brings longer commutes and limited local services.
Practical points to consider: roof damage and general structural deterioration are apparent; the property will need significant investment to make habitable. Broadband speeds are reported fast, mobile signal average, and there is no flood risk. The area is classified as very deprived and as remoter agricultural communities, which can affect grant eligibility and planning expectations.
