Grade II listed former saw mill, converted into five-bedroom holiday retreat
A striking Grade II listed former timber saw mill, sympathetically converted in 2023 into a five-bedroom detached holiday retreat. The property combines authentic character — exposed beams and preserved saw-mill machinery in the lounge — with modern comforts such as a contemporary kitchen, underfloor heating and a private hot tub. Its layout and recent renovation make it a turnkey holiday let or boutique country retreat.
The business is presented as a high-performing holiday let with strong guest feedback and good occupancy, supported by ample off-street parking and very large grounds ideal for outdoor use or expansion. The spacious open-plan reception, vaulted ceilings and mezzanine create flexibility for events or additional guest facilities.
Important practical notes: the building is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and require listed-building consent. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — factors to weigh for modern guests and remote-working visitors. Heating runs on oil with a boiler and underfloor system. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the local area is remote and classified as very deprived, which may affect staffing, supply logistics and year-round demand.
This freehold property is best suited to an investor or operator seeking a distinctive, characterful hospitality offering in rural Powys. The listing and rural utilities mean prospective buyers should allow time for consents and factor in infrastructure upgrades if targeting business growth or increased digital-dependent bookings.
