Description

Exciting development opportunity to create a stunning three-bedroom family home within a characterful stone-built barn. Situated amongst a collection of sympathetically converted properties, this project offers the perfect blend of rural charm and modern living.

Chancellors is proud to present this exciting development opportunity to create a stunning three-bedroom family home within a characterful stone-built barn. Situated amongst a collection of sympathetically converted properties, this project offers the perfect blend of rural charm and modern living, appealing to those seeking a peaceful retreat or a spacious family residence.
Located close to the popular villages of Talybont-On-Usk and Bwlch with access to Abergavenny and Brecon, there are countryside walks from the doorstep. Wildlife is abound and evident all round the property.

The groundwork for the property has already been significantly advanced, with the following works completed to date:
- Full Planning Permission: Benefit from approved planning permission and updated alterations already in place for a three-bedroom conversion.
- Secure Structure: A brand new roof has been installed, alongside structural underpinnings and internal wall ties, all approved by a structural engineer.
- Services Connected: All essential services, including water, an electrical meter, and a distribution board, have been laid on to the property.
- Groundwork Complete: All internal groundworks, plumbing, soil pipes, and waste pipes are in place and connected to the external drainage system.
- Defined Spaces: Internal blockwork walls have been constructed, outlining the layout for the bathroom, pantry, dining room, and utility room.
- Garden Access: A new doorway aperture has been created at the rear of the barn in the utility room, providing direct access to the garden.
- Indoor-Outdoor Flow: A large, impressive stonework aperture with a solid oak lintel is in place in the dining room, ready for the installation of courtyard patio doors.
- External Drainage: Surface water drainage has been installed at the rear of the property.
- Established Garden: Rear garden walls have been constructed, complemented by drainage works.
- Extension Ready: The ground at the end of the barn has been cleared and levelled, prepared for the planned living room extension.
- Convenient Parking: The property benefits from three allocated parking spaces within the external barn courtyard area.
- Materials On-Site: Ground floor insulation materials, along with all necessary steelwork beams and lintels, are already on-site, saving you time and initial costs.

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a property with significant groundwork already completed, allowing you to focus on the exciting final stages of creating your bespoke three-bedroom home. Don't miss out on the chance to embrace a tranquil lifestyle in a beautifully converted barn.

Full details are available from the Powys Planning Portal, however, viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate not only the potential but also this unique location. Contact Chancellors today to arrange a viewing.
