Summary - Cathargoed Isaf, Golden Grove SA32 8LY
10 bed 9 bath House
Secluded five-acre estate with farmhouse, three holiday cottages and proven income.
Four-bedroom rebuilt farmhouse with superb kitchen/living room and feature fireplace
Three successful two-bed holiday cottages with proven rental income
Approximately five acres: landscaped gardens, paddocks, stables and outbuildings
Biomass heating installed; about 10 years remaining on Renewable Heat Incentive
Main fuel/heating listed as oil boiler and radiators despite biomass presence
Very slow broadband; remoter village location may limit connectivity
Stone walls pre-1900 assumed without insulation — further works likely needed
Council tax described as quite expensive; area classed as very deprived
Set on about five acres with panoramic Black Mountain and Betws Mountain views, this secluded lifestyle complex combines a rebuilt four-bedroom farmhouse with three high-quality two-bedroom holiday cottages. The farmhouse offers versatile family living across multiple reception rooms, a superb kitchen/living room, feature lounge with fireplace, office, utility and two attic rooms. Ancillary buildings include stables, a general-purpose barn, laundry and plant rooms, plus garaging and ample guest parking. Security systems and landscaping are in place, and the cottages have a proven rental track record.
The property benefits from a biomass heating installation with approximately ten years remaining on a Renewable Heat Incentive, double glazing throughout the main residence, and newly renovated interiors in the farmhouse. These features support tourism income and lower-carbon heating credentials, while the extensive grounds suit equestrian or smallholding uses and provide privacy and space for expansion.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the listed main fuel and heating are oil-fired boiler and radiators despite the biomass system; broadband speeds are very slow; the area is classified as very deprived; and council tax is described as quite expensive. The stone walls are original (pre-1900) and assumed uninsulated, so further thermal upgrades may be needed to improve comfort and running costs.
This opportunity suits investors or lifestyle buyers seeking a rural holiday-let business with immediate income and scope to enhance value through energy upgrades, broadband improvements and continued management of the cottages and grounds.
