Nr Hay on Wye HR3

SITUATION

Brynglessy stands prominently in the northeast corner of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The popular and historic town of Hay on Wye is nearby. The property nestles discretely against Hay Bluff, a dominating feature of the northern slopes of the Black Mountains. The views are sensational over the Wye valley and beyond, and the area provides remarkable opportunities for recreation be it walking, mountain biking,horse riding and hang gliding to name but a few. Hay on Wye holds two internationally renowned annual literary festivals in May and November. Schools are excellent in the region and road access is fast and effective, especially to the Heads of
the Valley network and south to the M4 at Newport.

THE PROPERTY
Brynglessy has all the elements of durability and potential. A well-built house which, although in need of complete refurbishment, is solid and stands proudly in the Black Mountains landscape. The panoramic views are both interesting and tantalising, especially to the north and east
with its proximity to Hay Bluff. Once a small working farm, its range of traditional buildings (along with a modern Dutch barn with excellent potential) illustrates its history and agricultural capabilities. However, times have changed and today the scope and potential of the property is exciting and refreshing and stands in readiness for the next chapter.

PLANNING
Two planning permissions have been granted namely 22/21329/FUL and 22/21621/FUL which can be seen on the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority's website. The former grants consent for a "Two-storey side extension, new entrance porch, elevation changes and the integration
of the attached garage structure into the primary living accommodation " approved in April 2024. The latter consent is "to convert former agricultural barns into two holiday lets and a multi-purpose amenity space" and was approved in March 2025. The extension to the farmhouse links an intriguing single story barn once used as a cow byre to create a magnificent open plan kitchen, dining and living space, with concertina doors to the unrivalled panoramic views. This section
measures approx. 15m x 5m and provides phenomenal space within which to do something special. The gable end extension, with its beamed and glazed construction, has been based on the renowned Llwyn Celyn in the Llanthony Valley, with the new spectacular master bedroom suite allowing for views of the Bluff upon waking. The house provides four further ground floor rooms and four additional en-suite bedrooms.

FARM BUILDINGS
An impressive traditional barn and associated farm buildings form the opposite side of the yard to the house. The single story section will house two holiday cottages, whilst the main barn itself measuring 17m x 6m will provide considerable opportunity for indoor recreation or striking home working/ office area. The Dutch barn adjoins at the rear, and again, provides for a myriad of uses and versatility.

THE LAND
There are two grass fields that run with Brynglessy. The larger of the two lies directly below the house, whilst the other is immediately above. An attractive garden area sits to the side adjoining the house, and would make the ideal spot for a natural swimming pond subject to the necessary consents. In all 10 acres.
