Summary - GLAN-Y-RAFON FOEL WELSHPOOL SY21 0PD
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Versatile riverside estate with outbuildings and strong conversion potential.
Approximately 7.2 acres with river frontage and far-reaching views
Glan-y-Rafon is a substantial four-bedroom detached country house set in about 7.2 acres, positioned for long views and direct river frontage. The main residence offers a large open-plan kitchen/living space, two ground-floor bedrooms, and two first-floor bedrooms including a principal suite with en-suite and a balcony overlooking the valley. The property is double glazed (post-2002) and benefits from fast broadband and no local flood risk.
The grounds are a major asset: level paddocks, a four-stable block, multiple outbuildings including a large former annex/garage and workshops, a koi pond, patio with pizza oven, and a long private drive. Planning permission has been granted for unspecified works, offering potential to extend or convert outbuildings (buyers must verify details and constraints). These features suit equestrian use, smallholding, multi-generational living, or income‑generating conversions, subject to consents.
Buyers should note practical and location considerations. The farmhouse was built before 1900 with granite or whinstone walls that are assumed uninsulated, and heating is by oil-fired boiler to radiators — both factors can add running and upgrade costs. Mobile phone signal is absent locally; while broadband is fast, day‑to‑day connectivity for calls will rely on landlines or satellite/wi‑fi calling. Council tax is described as expensive and the wider area shows high deprivation metrics, which may affect services and resale dynamics.
This is a rare countryside parcel combining sizable land, riverside position and versatile buildings. It will particularly suit buyers seeking lifestyle space and development potential who are comfortable with rural remoteness and the maintenance needs of an older, characterful property.
