Summary - GWARYCAE, U1256 FROM JUNCTION WITH TRACK TO PEN-COED TO JUNCTION WITH ROAD NEAR GALEDRHYD, ELAN VALLEY LD6 5HD
South-facing elevated position with panoramic Elan Valley views
Set on approximately 1.5 acres, this detached stone farmhouse occupies a south-facing, slightly elevated site with uninterrupted views across the Upper Wye and Elan Valleys. The property offers a generous living room with wood-burning stove, three bedrooms and versatile outbuildings, making it well suited to buyers seeking smallholding or countryside living.
Practical features include UPVC double glazing, a wood-pellet 'Klover' boiler (supplemented by mineral fuel) and off-street parking. The plot is a standout asset: enclosed pastureland, mature trees and a handy outbuilding provide immediate grazing and storage opportunities for livestock or garden equipment.
There are important practical drawbacks to note. The EPC rating is G and cavity walls are understood to have no installed insulation, so significant energy-efficiency improvements will be needed. Broadband speeds are very slow and drainage is private; the house is reached along a council-maintained single-track road and sits in a sparsely populated, very deprived rural area with limited local services.
This property will appeal to buyers prioritising rural privacy, expansive views and land for smallholding rather than those needing fast internet, high energy performance or easy, frequent access to urban amenities. It represents genuine renovation and modernisation potential on a large plot in a highly sought-after scenic location.
