Description

Bwysfa Fawr is a charming period farmhouse that has been extended into the adjoining former wain house, creating a spacious and versatile family home in a delightful rural setting. On the ground floor there is a large entrance porch/garden room, a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the views over the surrounding countryside. This leads into the spacious living room, where an impressive stone inglenook fireplace with bread oven and wood-burning stove creates an delightful focal point. Adjoining the living room is a wonderful library, also ideal as a snug or home office, which also benefits from a wood-burning stove. To the rear of the property is a kitchen/diner fitted with a range of base and wall units, worktops, an oven and hob, plumbing for a dishwasher and a door providing access to the rear. A useful utility room leads through to a second kitchen/diner, offering additional cupboard space, a second oven and hob and sliding patio doors which flood the room with natural light. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary shower room. This section of the property which leads to one bedroom and so could easily be used as a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or holiday letting, subject to any necessary consents. The remaining four bedrooms are accessed via another staircase from the living room and are served by a family bathroom, providing excellent separation between the two areas of the house while retaining the flexibility to function as one substantial family home.

In addition to the farmhouse, the property includes two charming semi-detached, two bed barn conversions which are currently used as extra family and hobby spaces but which both offer excellent potential for holiday accommodation, multi-generational living or independent accommodation for a family member. Each provides open-plan kitchen/living/dining space and two bedrooms. Barn 1 benefits from a ground floor cloakroom with space to add a shower, while the larger Barn 2 enjoys a first-floor bathroom. They are full of character and offer further scope for modernisation and enhancement.

Attached to these properties is a traditional stone barn, divided into three practical sections. The workshop (6.37m x 4.97m) has a door and window to the front, while the adjoining hayloft (6.46m x 4.97m) has a front entrance and stairs leading to a spacious loft which extends the full length of the building. The third section (6.38m x 4.97m) is open to both the front and rear. Together, these buildings provide an excellent range of versatile workspace and storage. Further outbuildings include a substantial steel portal frame barn, divided into two sections with large doors to both the front and rear, together with an open-fronted two-bay carport adjoining the farmhouse.

Approached via a gated driveway, the property opens into a central parking area. In front of the stone barn is an attractive courtyard, planted with a variety of mature shrubs and colourful flowers, while to the rear of the farmhouse a sheltered paved patio is a sun trap. The grounds extend to approximately 15 acres in total, including a 4.54 acre sloping paddock which is ideal for grazing livestock or ponies. The rest a mix of rough pasture/grazing, marsh and woodland with lots of wildlife.

The property is situated in a lovely rural location just outside Trecastle.
