Set within the Brecon Beacons National Park, this sympathetically restored four-bedroom detached farmhouse offers generous living space, rustic character and wide valley views across approximately 1.6 acres. Recently modernised features — exposed timbers, oak joinery, stonework and quality kitchen finishes — combine with traditional elements such as solid-fuel and multi-fuel stoves to create an inviting, rural family home.
Ground-floor living is flexible and sociable: a well-equipped kitchen with quartz worktops and an Esse stove links to a characterful dining room with French doors to the garden, while a spacious living room with a multi-fuel stove provides a cosy hub. Four good-sized first-floor bedrooms look over the Cwmwysg Valley; a family bathroom serves the house.
Outside, gated access leads to a concrete yard with ample parking, a selection of stone outbuildings and a large stone barn with lean-to. The barn and grounds present clear potential for additional income or expanded use (glamping, shepherd’s huts, or barn conversion), subject to any necessary planning consent and National Park restrictions. The plot includes lawn, fruit trees and a small paddock ideal for hobby farming or equestrian use.
Important practical points: heating currently relies on coal/boiler and stoves and the exterior stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs. Broadband speeds are very slow, and there is a single main bathroom for four bedrooms. The property is within a remote hamlet setting with very low crime but limited local services; any conversion or development will require planning permission from the National Park authority.
