Summary - CWMWR UCHAF FARMHOUSE, B4396 FROM JUNCTION WITH U2009 BY FELIN CWMWR TO JUNCTION WITH B4391 AT PENYBONTFAWR, PEN-Y-BONT-FAWR SY10 0HP
4 bed 2 bath Farm House
Historic country farmhouse with large kitchen and direct hillwalking access.
Restored 17th-century stone farmhouse with original beams and flagstones
Cwmwr Uchaf Farmhouse is a sympathetically restored 17th-century stone farmhouse set high in the Berwyn foothills near Penybontfawr. The house blends original features — exposed beams, thick granite walls, flagstone floors and a traditional open fireplace — with practical modern comforts such as central heating and contemporary bathrooms. The spacious farmhouse kitchen has room to seat ten, making it a natural hub for family meals and entertaining. A ground-floor king-size bedroom and a hillside-view master bedroom add flexibility for multi-generation living or guests.
The property sits on a large plot with direct access to walking trails that lead towards Eryri (Snowdonia), offering genuine rural seclusion and scenic outlooks. Internally there is useful additional space on the first-floor landing, currently used as a playroom or extra reception area — ideal for families who need adaptable zones for children or working from home. At roughly 1,944 sq ft, the layout feels generous without being overpowering, and the stone construction gives a strong sense of character and permanence.
Prospective buyers should note practical limitations: mobile signal is effectively none and broadband speeds are very slow, so this location is not suitable if reliable connectivity is essential. Heating is supplied via a community biomass scheme and the stone walls are understood to have no insulation, which may influence running costs and future retrofit work. The area is classified as very deprived and council tax is above average, factors to consider for budgeting or if planning to operate a holiday-let business.
For a family seeking a rural long-term home, or buyers looking for a countryside retreat or holiday-let with character, Cwmwr Uchaf offers rare heritage charm and walking access to the hills. The property is best for those who value seclusion and traditional fabric, and who are comfortable managing the connectivity and retrofit considerations that come with living in a remote historic farmhouse.
