Description
This Grade II listed Welsh farmhouse is offered with approximately 11.47 acres, a farmyard and a range of traditional and modern agricultural buildings. The detached four to five bedroom house retains features including exposed beams, stone fireplaces, flagstone and quarry-tiled floors, and two original stone spiral staircases. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room and pantry, a ground-floor bathroom and a first-floor shower room. The property is described as requiring renovation, with scope to restore and update the house while retaining its historic character. Additional land is available separately by negotiation.
Outside, a gated entrance leads to a concrete parking area and farm buildings. A lawned garden lies to the front, with rural views, and a small paddock has separate road access. The paddock has previously been used as a caravan site with electrical hook-ups; a nearby outbuilding includes a kitchenette, shower and WC. The property is in open countryside west of City, within driving distance of Cowbridge, with access to the M4 and A48.

Confidence: MEDIUM
Isycoed Farmhouse has a strong sense of place: exposed beams, stone fireplaces and original staircases give the house a distinctive period character, while the maintained pasture, farm buildings and hardstanding add practical appeal. The dated finishes and kitchen offer a clear medium-scale improvement project, though its Grade II listing means repair and alteration choices may need careful consideration.
At £865,000, the asking price is already above the local £/sqf benchmark. Adding the £30,000–£65,000 renovation range leaves the purchase-plus-refurb cost stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of the home’s value after works. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation estimate further provisional.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated reception-room finishes while making the most of the exposed beams, stonework and fireplaces.
- Replace or update the older kitchen fittings as part of a considered renovation.
- The farm buildings, hardstanding and approximately 11.47 acres provide useful rural setting and practical potential, subject to condition and lawful use.
Key risks
- The Grade II listing may constrain repair methods and alteration choices.
- The asking price plus the stated renovation range leaves purchase-and-refurb costs stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area.
- Purchase plus works may take you to around £912,500 once the asking price and an estimated £47,500 of refurbishment are combined — roughly 16% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
