Pengwern Common, Llethryd

A rare opportunity to create a substantial country home in the very heart of Gower.

A privately positioned development plot with extant planning permission for a beautifully proportioned three-bedroom farmhouse of 2,031sqft, set within approximately 5.6 acres of gardens and quality grazing land on Pengwern Common.

The Property - A country holding of scale, privacy and promise.

Middle Hills is an exceptional building plot enjoying extant permission for the reinstatement of a detached three-bedroom residence extending to 2,031sqft. The approved design offers generous, well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors, including a striking principal reception room of excellent proportions, a large kitchen and breakfast room opening onto the gardens, three double bedrooms (including a substantial principal suite), and thoughtfully arranged ancillary spaces including utility, cloakroom and shower facilities.

The proposed home has been designed in a traditional yet timeless vernacular, befitting its rural setting, with spacious, light-filled interiors and strong connections to the surrounding landscape.

The plot itself extends to approximately one acre of gardens and grounds immediately surrounding the dwelling, offering ample space for formal landscaping, kitchen gardens or terraces positioned to capture the open countryside views. Beyond this lie two well-maintained grazing paddocks extending to approximately 4.6 acres, divided into quality pasture and ideally suited for equestrian use, smallholding interests or simply as a natural buffer ensuring lasting privacy.

In total, the holding amounts to approximately 5.6 acres.

Approached via a rough track of approximately 800 metres from Pengwern Common, the setting is quietly secluded, entirely private and surrounded by open countryside. The sense of arrival is understated and authentic — a true rural retreat within the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
