- Circa 20 acres: pasture, 4 acres woodland and a large stocked pond
Penllwynbedw Fach is a traditional Welsh smallholding set in around 20 acres of pasture, mature woodland and a stocked pond, tucked into the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains. The stone farmhouse has been sympathetically renovated and extended, now offering five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a vaulted studio lounge; useful outbuildings and two large multipurpose sheds add genuine agricultural and workshop capacity.
The conversion of former coach houses provides flexible, self-contained accommodation that could become an annexe for family use or be let separately. There is clear development potential: the site has been referenced for chalet-style summer lets, subject to planning permission. Practical upgrades include new double-glazed windows, rewiring, LED lighting, a new oil boiler and solar panels tied into the hot water system.
Buyers should note the practical constraints of rural life here: broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal; heating is oil-fired with an older system (though serviced by a new boiler); drainage is private; and the stone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. The property sits in a very deprived, remote community, so local services are limited though Aberystwyth and Lampeter are within reasonable driving distance.
This smallholding will suit families, small-holders or lifestyle buyers seeking land, privacy and strong renovation provenance. It also offers income possibilities for holiday lets or small-scale diversification, but any new build or formal commercial letting will require planning approvals and verification of services and permissions.
