Nestled at the foothills of the Black Mountains, this three-bedroom farmhouse presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a tranquil setting along the Monmouthshire-Herefordshire border. The property boasts expansive countryside views and is conveniently accessed from Mountain Road, ensuring both seclusion and accessibility.
Situated on the outskirts of Longtown, residents will find local amenities including a highly regarded shop, post office, public house, and an outdoor learning center just a stone’s throw away. The property falls within the catchment area for several reputable schools: Longtown Primary School recently earned a "Good" rating from Ofsted, with Michaelchurch Escley Primary School also achieving similar accolades. Notably, Fairfield Secondary School has maintained an "Outstanding" status for 18 consecutive years, making this location appealing for families.
The geographic setting offers excellent recreational opportunities as well. With Hatterall Ridge located roughly one mile to the west, hiking enthusiasts can explore extensive routes along Offa's Dyke Path. Additionally, the charming market town of Hay-On-Wye is just a 20-minute drive away and is known for its literary festival that attracts visitors from around the globe.
The farmhouse itself features traditional stone construction and retains many original elements; however, it would greatly benefit from updating and modernization to maximize its potential. A spacious living room with oak beams and a wood-burning stove sets a cozy tone, while the adjoining dining room also includes its own stove for added warmth. The kitchen contains high-gloss cream cabinetry complemented by solid oak worktops and basic appliances.
The property includes three double size bedrooms—each with oak-beamed ceilings—a ground-floor bathroom with contemporary fittings, and a utility room equipped for laundry needs.
Outside, ample parking is available via a long driveway leading to thoughtfully arranged lawned gardens at both the front and rear. There are additional stone outbuildings adjacent to the farmhouse that could serve as ideal candidates for future development into residential or recreational spaces (subject to obtaining necessary planning consents).
With approximately 1.498 acres of pasture land historically used for livestock grazing, this property combines rural charm with significant potential for investment or personal customization into your dream home.
