Cwmwr Uchaf is a rare, Grade II‑listed 17th‑century farmhouse set high above the Tanat Valley, offering extensive countryside views and substantial living space. The house retains original features—exposed timber beams, large stone fireplaces and thick granite walls—giving a tactile connection to its history while presenting comfortable, usable rooms across multiple floors. With four bedrooms and flexible landing/playroom space, it suits family life or a spacious weekend retreat.
Practical systems include a community biomass heating scheme, double glazing (install date unknown), mains electricity, private water supply and septic tank drainage. The building has been sympathetically restored, but its listed status will restrict changes and may complicate repair or upgrade work. The granite walls are likely uninsulated and internal improvements would require listed‑building consent.
The property’s remoteness is a defining strength and a genuine constraint: it sits in a quiet hamlet with low local crime and dramatic countryside, yet mobile signal is absent and broadband speeds are very slow. Buyers should be prepared to live with limited connectivity or to arrange specialist communications solutions.
Cwmwr Uchaf will appeal to buyers seeking heritage, space and privacy—families wanting room to spread out, second‑home owners craving seclusion, or those wishing to run a rural holiday let (subject to consents). Budget for listed‑building maintenance, potential fabric upgrades, and the practicalities of private water and septic upkeep.
