Rhos Fawr is a substantial four-bedroom farmhouse set within about nine acres of paddocks and grounds, designed around serious equestrian use. The farmhouse retains character features — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and quarry tiles — and benefits from solar panels plus a stand-by generator, reducing running-cost vulnerability in this remote location.
The site is arranged for horses: two purpose-built manèges, a Claydon electric horse walker, multiple stables, tack rooms and extensive stone barns. Wide yard access and open-fronted parking accommodate horseboxes and larger vehicles. The buildings and paddocks offer scope for business, holiday conversion or expanded livery (subject to planning).
Buyers should note material constraints: the property includes a Grade II* listed barn, which brings planning and repair restrictions and may complicate alterations. Broadband is very slow and the house runs on oil-fired central heating and a private bore hole with septic drainage. The granite walls are presumed uninsulated and the council tax band is high — all factors to consider for ongoing costs.
This is a rare opportunity for someone seeking a private equestrian smallholding with scope to adapt buildings and land. It will particularly suit buyers prepared for rural living, historic-property responsibilities and investment in modernising services where required.
