Goblaen House is a substantial, characterful rural estate centred on a refurbished three-bedroom farmhouse with a self-contained two-bedroom holiday cottage and extensive outbuildings. Set in about 38 acres, the holding includes around eighteen stables, a 60m x 20m manège, pasture paddocks, hay fields and a traditional barn with conversion potential (subject to planning). The property sits in an elevated, open setting with wide countryside views and direct access onto adjoining common land and extensive outriding.
This is a lifestyle property for buyers seeking an equestrian base, hobby farm or income-generating rural retreat. The holiday cottage (converted 2019) and past livery/pony stud use provide clear income potential, while the stone barn offers further scope for diversification or added accommodation, subject to consents. The main house is characterful, with granite walls and internal insulation, double glazing (installed before 2002) and oil-fired boiler with radiators.
Important practical considerations: the site is remote — mobile signal is absent and broadband is very slow — which will affect connectivity for work or holiday guests. The property lies in a very deprived area with expensive Council Tax (Band F) and the estate requires ongoing maintenance typical of large rural holdings. Any conversion of the traditional barn will need planning permission and costs should be anticipated for long-term upkeep of buildings, fencing and paddocks.
For buyers drawn to solitude, equestrian facilities and landscape, Goblaen offers a rare, well-equipped rural package with immediate use and future development potential. It will suit those prepared for rural living challenges and the responsibilities of managing a large holding.
