Summary - Bwlchserth, Merthyr Cynog LD3 9SG
3 bed 1 bath Smallholding
Chain-free project with outbuildings and bridleway access for country living.
Approximately 20 acres of mainly grazing land
Set in open Welsh countryside, this 20-acre smallholding offers a rare chance to restore a traditional stone farmhouse and create a working or hobby holding. The detached three-bedroom house has two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom and upstairs bedrooms with wide rural views — a comfortable layout but one that requires full modernisation throughout.
The site includes a small attached cowshed and pig cot, a stone storage shed and a portal-frame barn which is in very poor condition and may need rebuilding or removal (subject to planning). Land is divided into seven paddocks, currently with many deteriorated fences; this gives immediate grazing potential but will need boundary repair to be stock-ready. A bridleway runs through the farm, useful for equestrian use or access.
Practical details: the property is freehold, chain-free, served by private water and drainage, and currently heated by a dual fuel boiler (mineral and wood). Walls are traditional stone with assumed no added insulation, and the house needs comprehensive updating including electrics, heating, insulation and cosmetic works. Broadband speeds are very slow here, though mobile signal is excellent. Council Tax band E applies.
This smallholding suits buyers seeking privacy, space and long-term potential — hobby farmers, equestrian users or those planning a renovation project to create a self-sufficient or conservation-focused holding. The location is remote, around eight miles north of Brecon; expect rural travel times and additional costs to bring services and buildings up to modern standards.
