A substantial detached three-bedroom period house on a large, level garden plot, set on the edge of St. Harmon village with adjoining countryside views. The property retains period features such as bay windows, high ceilings and fireplaces and offers practical living space including lounge, sitting/dining room, kitchen with pantry and useful outbuildings. Off-street parking for several vehicles and easy garden access suit families who need outdoor space.
The house requires internal upgrading and general renovation. The building has an EPC rating E, oil-fired central heating, and pre-2002 double glazing. Walls are cavity-built with no insulating retrofit assumed; upgrading insulation, heating and services would be sensible investment priorities. These works present opportunity to improve comfort and energy efficiency but will add to initial costs.
Location strengths include low local crime, fast broadband, freehold tenure and no significant river/sea flood risk. The setting is rural and quiet—appealing to families or buyers seeking space and countryside access—but the immediate area is classed as very deprived with remoter-community characteristics, so services and amenities are limited locally. Rhayader and the Elan Valley are within easy driving distance for schools, shops and outdoor recreation.
This property will suit a buyer wanting a character home with garden and parking who is prepared to fund renovation. It offers clear scope to modernise while keeping attractive period detail, making it suitable for a family home or a renovation-led investment in a peaceful rural location.
