Description

This property features a detached farmhouse with six bedrooms, offering significant potential for renovation and investment. Set within approximately 184.95 acres of land, the estate includes a combination of traditional stone buildings and semi-modern agricultural structures, all of which could be updated or repurposed to enhance value. Located just north of Treharris, the property benefits from proximity to essential transport links, including the A470 at Abercynon Roundabout, which provides easy access to Merthyr Tydfil and connections to the M4 at Junction 32. This accessible location may appeal to future buyers or tenants seeking the balance of rural living with convenience. The farmhouse itself is a substantial structure in need of complete modernization. With its rendered stone exterior and tiled roof, it presents an opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke home or rental property. Additionally, there’s a stone barn adjacent to the house that may hold conversion potential, subject to necessary planning permissions. The collection of farm buildings on-site consists of both traditional stone structures and modern hay barns situated nearby the farmhouse. These buildings offer varied possibilities for redevelopment or alternative uses, making them attractive for investors interested in diversifying their portfolios. The farmland primarily consists of well-maintained pastureland and southerly facing hay meadows that are regularly cut for hay production. This sizable acreage not only provides agricultural opportunities but also includes part of the land under a lease for a 500kw wind turbine, generating an annual income currently estimated at £27,998. This lease has several years remaining and represents an attractive passive income stream. The property is also registered under the Welsh Basic Payment Scheme, providing another layer of financial support for prospective buyers. While entitlements are excluded from sale, they can be available through separate negotiation. With established water supplies from both mains and well-fed sources, as well as natural water retention across much of the farmland, this property offers functional amenities that can support various agricultural endeavors or potential eco-friendly projects. Given its size, location, and existing structures—with clear avenues for enhancement—this property stands out as a compelling investment opportunity. Please note that as an active working farm with livestock present on-site, visitors should exercise caution while exploring the grounds.
