This agricultural holding presents a compelling investment opportunity in the picturesque village of Talybont-on-Usk, encompassing approximately 190.39 acres (77.05 hectares) of fertile land paired with a Grade II* listed farmhouse and a diverse array of both traditional and modern farm buildings.
The centerpiece is Maesmawr, a striking five-bedroom farmhouse dating back to the 16th century. Constructed from cement-rendered stone and topped with a steeply pitched Welsh slate roof, this property showcases historical significance with elements believed to predate the 16th century. Notable features include a wide Georgian staircase connecting the two wings, along with a first-floor Venetian staircase window that enhances its architectural charm. Though well-preserved, the farmhouse offers substantial potential for renovation to enhance its character while modernizing the living space.
Located on the outskirts of Talybont-on-Usk and bordered by the scenic Brecon Beacons and Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, this property enjoys not only tranquility but also accessibility to major transport routes. The historic market town of Brecon is approximately seven miles away, while Abergavenny, known for its railway connections, is about fifteen miles distant.
The farmhouse boasts generous accommodation that includes a kitchen with a walk-in pantry, drawing room featuring an elegant sash window, and multiple reception areas such as a spacious living room and study. On the upper floor are five double bedrooms along with essential amenities including bathrooms and extensive attic space ripe for conversion or storage. An adjoining single-storey annexe offers additional living space comprising two bedrooms, a kitchen, reception room, and shower room—the perfect setup for guests or rental potential.
Complementing the residential aspects are an extensive range of 15 outbuildings and grain silos situated on both sides of the road. The land itself consists predominantly of permanent pasture and arable ground characterized by free-draining river loam soil—ideal for various agricultural uses or potential development scenarios given its maintained condition with stockproof fencing and mature hedgerows.
Notably, there are opportunities for future enhancement; part of the property carries an overage provision should planning consent be granted for alternative uses within 25 years. Additionally, there are mineral rights associated with gravel deposits on site (subject to planning consents), providing further avenues for monetization.
Current services include mains water, electricity, and drainage connections to the farmhouse as well as several outbuildings. Natural water sources from local rivers ensure ample water supply throughout much of the land.
