Stone cottage with exposed beams and brick fireplace
A character three-bedroom stone cottage set within approximately six acres, including around one acre of mixed woodland and five acres of grazing with a stream. The detached property sits in the heart of Penderyn in the Brecon Beacons National Park, with footpaths, bridleways and countryside views on the doorstep. The cottage retains exposed beams, a brick fireplace and original granite walls that give authentic period charm.
This smallholding offers obvious scope for improvement and modernisation: the house needs renovation, the stone walls are assumed uninsulated and the property is heated by an oil boiler. Accommodation includes a living/dining room, kitchen, conservatory, three bedrooms and one bathroom; double glazing was fitted post-2002. Outbuildings include a garage/workshop, summerhouse, garden sheds and greenhouse, plus off-street parking.
The land is a major asset — productive pasture accessed from the A4059, mature gardens and biodiverse woodland provide shelter for wildlife and room for equine or small livestock use. Practical points: broadband speeds are good, mobile signal average, council tax moderate and there is no flood risk. The village offers basic amenities, a primary school and easy road links to Aberdare, Merthyr and the wider region.
This property suits buyers seeking a rural lifestyle project or smallholding use who are happy to carry out renovation and energy upgrades. The setting within waterfall country and the substantial plot deliver long-term lifestyle and agricultural potential, balanced by the need for investment to modernise the house and improve thermal efficiency.
