Description

A detached former farmhouse with approximately 8 acres accompanied by a brick cart house, and a detached dutch barn.

Set in an idyllic rural position in the hamlet of Myddfai, near Llandovery. Abermydan presents a rare and exciting redevelopment opportunity for those seeking to create a bespoke countryside home.

Occupying just under 8 acres of land, the property comprises a former dwelling set centrally within its own grounds, offering exceptional privacy and far-reaching views across the surrounding Carmarthenshire landscape. The setting is peaceful and unspoilt, with the property enjoying a true sense of seclusion while remaining accessible to nearby amenities.

Full planning permission has been granted under application reference 23/21878/FUL (details on Brecon Beacons National Park website), providing a valuable head start for purchasers looking to transform the site into a stunning rural residence. The existing structures include a traditional red brick outbuilding, full of character and potential for conversion (subject to any necessary consents), as well as a Dutch barn, offering further scope for a variety of uses.

The land itself is a key feature of Abermydan, extending to just under eight acres and wrapping around the property, making it ideal for those with smallholding ambitions, or simply a desire for space and lifestyle flexibility.

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a property with significant potential in a highly sought-after rural location, close to the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park and within easy reach of the market town of Llandovery.

Abermydan is perfectly suited to buyers with vision, offering the chance to create a truly special home in a remarkable setting.
