Description

Tyddyn Cynar Barn presents a unique development opportunity, offering a Grade II listed medieval barn with approved planning permission for a luxurious four-bedroom residential conversion. This property allows potential buyers to bypass the often lengthy and complex planning process, making it an attractive prospect for self-builders, investors, or developers looking to create a bespoke country residence that harmonizes modern living with historic charm. Set apart from Tyddyn Cynar House by a picturesque medieval ruin, the barn features its own dedicated entrance off the road, ensuring privacy. The proposed design emphasizes impressive timber framing and rugged masonry, while incorporating expansive modern openings that promise to create a bright and airy family home or workspace. Surrounded by beautiful pastoral landscapes, this barn is a blank canvas for ambitious projects. The approved designs are crafted to preserve the barn's heritage, including the original slate floor that recalls its historical use by Cistercian farming monks. The property is nestled in a stunning location with breathtaking views of rolling fields and a gentle river, providing a serene lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The area is rich with opportunities for outdoor activities, including walking and cycling routes. Despite its tranquil setting, the barn is conveniently located near vibrant local communities with charming villages and market towns that offer boutique shopping, artisan cafes, and excellent schooling options. Additionally, there may be grants available for restoration through The Architectural Heritage Fund, supporting heritage regeneration projects in Wales. Services will need to be connected, and the property is subject to various rights of way and easements. This listing represents a rare chance to invest in a piece of history while crafting a modern living space in an idyllic rural setting.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Tyddyn Cynar Barn presents a unique opportunity to transform a medieval Grade II listed barn into a remarkable four-bedroom residence. With planning permission already granted, this project allows for a seamless blend of historic charm and modern living, making it an enticing prospect for self-builders and developers. The barn’s impressive timber framing and rugged masonry provide a solid foundation to create an expansive family home, while its picturesque rural setting enhances its appeal.

However, the property does require extensive refurbishment, with significant signs of neglect and external wear noted. The interiors are stripped and in need of a full-gut renovation, which will demand a significant investment of between £150,000 and £300,000. Despite the heavy project scale, the potential to craft a bespoke luxury living space in such a stunning location offsets the risks involved. With an asking price of £200,000, this listing is notably cheaper than the local average sale price of £417,914, making it a compelling entry point for investors looking to add value through renovation.

Key opportunities

  • Transform a historic barn into a bespoke luxury residence with planning permission already in place.
  • Preserve and enhance the unique character of the building while modernizing its layout for contemporary living.
  • Leverage the stunning rural setting and expansive views to create a highly desirable family home.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £150,000–£300,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Significant external wear and damage may require immediate attention to prevent further deterioration.
