Description

Nestled in a tranquil setting surrounded by picturesque countryside, this characterful eight-bedroom detached barn conversion offers a unique opportunity for both residential and commercial use. Currently operating as a successful holiday let, the property can accommodate up to twenty guests and has recently received a Certificate of Lawfulness for full residential occupation. The generous living space spans approximately 1,500 sq ft on the ground floor, featuring three bedrooms, a substantial dining room, and two staircases, allowing for versatile configurations. With the potential to create additional reception rooms or even reconfigure into two separate dwellings, this property is ripe for innovation. The first floor houses a spacious principal bedroom with en-suite facilities alongside additional bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. A traditional stone barn is also included, presenting an exciting restoration opportunity as it may be suitable for conversion, subject to planning consents. Set within approximately 0.87 acres of gardens and pastureland, the property enjoys easy access to the stunning landscapes of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, renowned for its breathtaking waterfalls and outdoor activities. This property not only offers a desirable rural lifestyle but also significant potential for development and investment.

Confidence: LOW

This characterful eight-bedroom barn conversion is brimming with potential and situated in a peaceful rural location. Currently operating as a successful holiday let, the property is set within approximately 0.87 acres of gardens and pastureland, and has recently been granted a Certificate of Lawfulness for full residential occupation, providing flexibility for both commercial and residential use.

While the asking price of £525,000 translates to £189/sqf, which is slightly above the local average of £185/sqf, the overall condition of the property is good across all key areas, including the living spaces, bedrooms, and exterior. This makes it a relatively attractive option for those looking to invest in a project with light renovation needs. The traditional stone barn on the property, however, may require significant work, presenting an exciting opportunity for restoration. The adaptable layout allows for the potential to create additional reception rooms or even reconfigure the space into two separate dwellings, subject to the necessary consents.

Key opportunities

  • Successful holiday let business currently in operation, offering immediate income potential.
  • Flexible accommodation layout with the potential to create additional reception rooms or convert into two separate dwellings.
  • Restoration opportunity with the traditional stone barn, which could be converted back into a dwelling.

Key risks

  • The traditional barn may require significant work to restore.
  • No specific renovation estimate available, which limits economic assessment.
