Cwmchwefru Old Farm House is a 17th-century Grade II listed stone farmhouse offering authentic period character and generous living space in a quiet Mid Wales hamlet. The house presents exposed beams, substantial stone fireplaces and original flagstone floors that give a strong sense of history and charm. Large landscaped gardens and sweeping countryside views make this a peaceful rural retreat with plenty of outdoor space for family life or gardening.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple storeys and includes two principal reception rooms, a spacious kitchen, ground-floor shower/utility, three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs, plus an attic room for storage or occasional use. Double glazing was fitted after 2002 and the property benefits from off-grid countryside privacy with no flood risk and very low local crime.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may increase repair and consent costs. The building’s granite walls are assumed uninsulated and heating relies on electric storage heaters (main fuel: electricity), so running costs and thermal comfort may be higher than modern homes. Mobile phone signal is absent and broadband speeds are very slow, which will affect working-from-home or streaming without alternative connectivity solutions.
This farmhouse suits buyers looking for a characterful rural home who accept the obligations of owning a listed, historic property — or investors wanting a distinctive long-term project. It will particularly appeal to those prioritising privacy, views and traditional features, while being prepared for maintenance, listed-building consents and limited digital connectivity.
