Description

This property presents a unique development and renovation opportunity, featuring a derelict farmhouse and outbuildings set in a picturesque rural location approximately one mile from Llanbrynmair. The site encompasses around 0.85 acres and includes a chalet that can serve as temporary accommodation during the redevelopment process. Buyers have the potential to transform this former smallholding into a distinctive countryside home or multi-unit residential retreat, with the possibility for full rehabilitation or conversion into holiday accommodation or creative spaces, subject to planning permission. The property has previously benefitted from planning permission to restore the farmhouse and convert the outbuildings into a second dwelling, establishing a precedent for future applications. Given its elevated position, the site offers stunning views and significant scope for redevelopment. Interested parties are encouraged to conduct their own inquiries regarding the connection or reconnection of services. Please note that caution is advised when visiting the site due to the dilapidated and unstable condition of the remaining structures.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached farmhouse and its outbuildings present a substantial renovation project, set in a picturesque rural location just outside Llanbrynmair. With around 0.85 acres of grounds and previous planning permission for restoration and conversion, this site offers a unique opportunity to create a distinctive countryside home or multi-unit residential retreat. Buyers can envision transforming the derelict structures into functional living spaces while taking advantage of the scenic views that the elevated position provides.

However, the property is currently in a severely dilapidated state, with significant structural issues evident throughout. The exterior and roof are notably compromised, and the garden is in poor condition. This heavy refurbishment project will require a substantial budget, estimated between £150,000 and £300,000, and a full-gut approach to restore the property to its potential. While the asking price of £120,000 may seem appealing, the absence of usable floor area means that value cannot yet be assessed against local averages, keeping in mind that this is a significant undertaking.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the derelict farmhouse and outbuildings into unique residential spaces or multi-unit accommodations, taking advantage of scenic views.
  • Utilize the existing chalet on-site for temporary accommodation during the renovation process.
  • Explore the potential for a creative studio or workshop spaces, subject to planning permission.

Key risks

  • Severe structural issues and extensive dilapidation mean that the interiors are stripped and will require a full-gut programme, not a simple refresh.
