Set high on a Welsh hillside, this recently renovated four-bedroom detached farmhouse occupies a huge plot of around five acres, blending historic stone construction with considered modern updates. Interiors keep period features—inglenook fireplace, oak panels and a plank-and-muntin screen—alongside a bright kitchen, principal suite and flexible reception spaces. The grounds include landscaped gardens, meadow, paddock, a dew pond, rewilded woodland with 1,300 newly planted saplings and a separate timber cabin.
This is a property for buyers who prize privacy, nature and character. It sits within an SSSI and an RSPB reserve near ancient oak rainforest and offers commanding rural views; wildlife and tranquillity are constant features. Practical advantages include excellent mobile signal, multiple reception rooms, three bathrooms and detached outbuildings useful for studio or storage.
Be clear about the constraints: the house is remote, with very slow broadband and higher-than-average council tax (Band F). Some rooms are compact with low ceilings in places; access to urban services and public transport requires a drive. The local area is classified as very deprived, which can affect local amenities and services despite nearby market towns.
For the right buyer—families or those seeking a long-term rural retreat with conservation value—this property offers immediate charm, generous outside space and further potential to personalise while sitting in an exceptional natural setting.
