House, paddock and woodland — a self-sufficient country home with scope and character.
Detached four-bedroom farmhouse with original character features and slate floors
Tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Maesllyn, Ty Newydd is a detached four-bedroom smallholding set within about 3.76 acres of garden, paddock and private woodland. The house combines original character—exposed beams, slate floors and bay windows—with practical, working spaces: two utility rooms, workshop/garage and a rear sunroom that doubles as a boot room. Solar panels (on FIT tariff) and two multi-fuel stoves linked to a thermal store reduce running costs and support a partly self-sufficient lifestyle.
The grounds are a major strength: a well-kept patio and orchard, established vegetable beds, polytunnel, greenhouses, sheds and a chicken run, plus a fully enclosed sloping paddock and roughly 2.45 acres of managed woodland with paths and a coppicing area. There are two driveways offering flexible access and parking for several vehicles — practical for moving supplies or bringing livestock in and out.
Internally the layout is generous and flexible for family life: large lounge and dining room, practical kitchen with Rayburn and Rangemaster, five first-floor bedrooms (four doubles plus a single/study) and a useful wet room. The garage/workshop houses the thermal store and offers storage or hobby space. This is a home that rewards hands-on owners who enjoy gardening, small-scale livestock, woodland management and seasonal living.
Important practical points: broadband and mobile signal are very limited here, and the property relies on an oil boiler plus LPG for part of the system; EPC is D. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (typical of its pre-1900 build) so further energy efficiency investment may be needed. Overall, Ty Newydd will suit buyers seeking rural character, space and the scope to develop a more self-reliant home rather than those wanting a low-maintenance, well-connected commuter base.
