Nestled within the picturesque Welsh countryside, this 20-acre smallholding offers a unique opportunity for buyers interested in a renovation project and rural living. Located just over a mile from the B4520 and approximately eight miles north of Brecon, the property is ideally situated amid the tranquil villages of Merthyr Cynnog, Upper Chapel, and Lower Chapel. The traditional farmhouse presents a blank canvas for complete modernization, allowing the new owner to restore it to its former charm while tailoring it to their personal preferences.
The ground floor features two reception rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, along with an internal store room that could easily be transformed into a utility area or pantry. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms that boast stunning views of the surrounding landscape—perfect for those seeking serenity and inspiration from nature.
Several outbuildings accompany the farmhouse, including an attached cowshed and pig cot that could appeal to hobby farmers or those looking to engage in animal husbandry. Additionally, there is a small storage shed opposite the main house as well as a larger portal frame shed in need of significant repair but presenting potential for conversion into a workshop or barn (subject to planning approval).
The land itself consists primarily of grazing areas divided into seven enclosures, although fencing will require attention to re-establish boundaries. This expansive space provides ample opportunities for diverse agricultural pursuits ranging from equestrian activities to sustainable farming practices or even wildlife conservation efforts—making it suitable for those wishing to embrace an active outdoor lifestyle.
Merthyr Cynog is characterized by its peaceful atmosphere and scenic beauty. Just 9.5 miles from Brecon—known for its range of amenities including shops, cinema, theatre, leisure centre, library, and golf course—the property enjoys accessibility to essential services such as good primary schools and further education options. With convenient road links connecting Cardiff, Swansea, and Hereford within an hour’s drive and Abergavenny's train station approximately 28 miles away, this location combines rural tranquility with practical commuting possibilities.
This property represents not only a chance to create your dream home in an idyllic setting but also serves as an investment opportunity in a sought-after region with significant potential for development and improvement.
