Set at the end of a long, tree-lined drive, this handsome 1839 farmhouse sits within 21 acres of rewilded valley and riverside, offering rare privacy and abundant wildlife. Interior character is strong: exposed stone, beams, Welsh slate floors and three inglenook fireplaces/log burners create a warm, authentic feel across three reception rooms and four bedrooms.
The land and outbuildings are the property's greatest assets. Two large stone barns and extensive grounds present substantial potential for conversion, hobby farming or nature-led projects (subject to planning). A polytunnel, greenhouse, vegetable patch and borehole with treatment unit support a largely self-sufficient lifestyle; the south-facing aspect also makes solar panels a realistic option.
Practical realities are straightforward and honest. The house is double-glazed and has oil central heating, mains electricity and excellent mobile signal, but it needs renovation throughout and both stone barns require complete restoration. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is high, reflecting the rural setting. The location is very peaceful with no near neighbours — ideal for a nature-loving family or buyer seeking seclusion, but less suited to those needing fast internet or close amenities.
This property will suit buyers who prize space, wildlife and traditional character and who can manage renovation and barn restoration. If you value long-term potential, land for wildlife or smallholding use, and a secluded life in the Welsh countryside, this farmhouse offers a rare opportunity.
