Summary - PENYWERLOD FARM, BRYN ROAD, BLACKWOOD, MARKHAM NP12 0QA
3 bed 2 bath Smallholding
Three dwellings across 3.5 acres with wide valley views and development scope.
Large hilltop plot of approx. 3.5 acres with two fenced paddocks
Set on approximately 3.5 acres on the periphery of Markham, Penywerlod Farm is a rare hilltop holding offering two separate residences, substantial outbuildings and far-reaching valley views. The site combines a characterful, partially renovated farmhouse with original features and a detached four-bedroom bungalow with its own garden and large garage. Two paddocks, stock-proof fencing and mains services make this a practical smallholding for equestrian or agricultural use.
The farmhouse retains period details such as an inglenook fireplace and spiral flagstone staircase but requires further renovation and investment to complete. The bungalow is more modern and habitable, with UPVC double glazing and a gas central heating boiler, though it needs decorative updating. There is clear potential for income or multigenerational living by occupying one dwelling while upgrading the other.
A range of stone and portal buildings, plus a structure that previously had planning permission for conversion to a separate dwelling, present development potential subject to planning consent. Interested buyers should take independent planning advice; any reinstatement of past permissions will be subject to local authority approval. Note a 20% development overage for 30 years is attached to any uplift from larger residential or commercial consents.
Practical considerations: the plot is substantial and primarily pasture, serviced by mains water and electricity, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. There is no identified flood risk. Material drawbacks include the need for further renovation in the farmhouse, council tax described as expensive, the property being in a very deprived wider area profile, and active livestock on the land (mares with foals) during viewings.
