Summary - Cae Bedw, Brilley, Whitney-On-Wye HR3 6JH
Approximately 2.85 acres including paddocks
Cae Bedw is a substantial five-bedroom country house set in about 2.85 acres, including paddocks and sweeping rural views across the Wye Valley and Brecon Beacons. The main house combines traditional character—exposed beams, stone fireplace and oak floors—with practical family spaces: a large kitchen, generous drawing room, study and a sunroom/atrium leading to a heated indoor pool. A separate summer studio and well-kept gardens extend the usable accommodation and outside enjoyment.
A notable asset is the large steel portal-frame barn, granted planning permission (Herefordshire County Council Application 213849) for conversion into a three-bedroom dwelling. That consent creates either extra family accommodation or an income-producing opportunity once converted. The property sits close to Hay-on-Wye and local village amenities while retaining privacy in a hamlet setting.
Buyers should be aware of practical considerations: heating is by oil and LPG boilers; walls are stone with assumed no added insulation; broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average. The indoor pool has a new liner (fitted 2018) and a filtration pump fitted in 2025, but the heating and filtration systems have not been recently serviced and cannot be guaranteed for immediate use. The property uses private drainage and falls into Herefordshire Council Tax Band G, which is relatively costly.
This is a strong opportunity for families seeking wide open countryside, space for horses or gardens, and buyers who can accommodate some upgrading and servicing. The combination of a large, characterful home, substantial grounds and permitted barn conversion will suit those wanting long-term lifestyle potential or an investment redevelopment project.
