Description

This charming smallholding features a traditional Victorian farmhouse, complemented by an expansive 11.8 acres of clear grazing land and multiple outbuildings, presenting a significant opportunity for renovation and development. Situated in the picturesque Upper Pontfaen valley, just six miles from Brecon, this property consists of two floors of accommodating space with four bedrooms located on the first level. The farmhouse is constructed from stone beneath a slate roof and incorporates essential amenities across both levels, including a welcoming entrance hallway, a lounge with gas fire, a sitting/dining room enhanced by a wood burner, and a kitchen/dining area equipped with base units and an LPG gas stove. Additional spaces include a study and utility room with w.c., as well as a garden room that opens to the rear garden—perfect for creating an inviting indoor-outdoor living experience. Upstairs, the layout comprises three double bedrooms, one single bedroom, and a family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing and efficient LPG gas central heating. Outside, the grounds feature enclosed lawned areas at both the front and sides of the house and lead to an extensive concrete yard that houses various stone buildings. These include a traditional barn ideal for storage or conversion into additional living spaces, along with stables offering potential for equestrian use. The surrounding 11.8 acres are divided into two main paddocks suitable for livestock or further agricultural pursuits. This property is brimming with potential for those looking to invest in a rural lifestyle project that combines historical charm with modern improvements.
