Converted stone long barn with strong period character
Ysgubor Hir is a converted stone long barn set in just over five private acres, offering a rare combination of period character and practical countryside space. Spacious, light-filled living areas and four double bedrooms suit families seeking room to grow, while the paddocks and outbuildings provide genuine equestrian, smallholding or hobby-farming potential. Good commuter links to the M4, Cardiff, Newport and Bristol, plus nearby train stations, make it workable for regular city travel.
The house retains traditional features such as exposed stonework and a rustic layout, delivering warmth and atmosphere throughout. The kitchen has direct outdoor access for easy garden-to-table living and the lawned gardens, gravel courtyard and mature trees create a private, sheltered setting with long views across farmland.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property uses oil-fired central heating and the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may mean higher running costs and retrofit work. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and may need upgrading. The very large plot requires ongoing maintenance, and there is scope to improve or convert outbuildings subject to consents.
Overall, this is a character-rich rural family home with substantial outside space and clear potential for buyers who value privacy, land and versatility. It will suit those prepared to invest in energy improvements and ongoing estate upkeep to unlock its full value.
