Description

Dolen Farm is an enchanting and characterful Welsh farmhouse, constructed from local stone and later extended during the Victorian period and again in 2021. Offering a wonderful blend of period charm and modern improvements. Set within approximately 1.4 acres of established gardens and paddocks, it enjoys a wonderfully peaceful countryside setting with ample parking and practical areas for equestrian use, vehicles and trailers.

The farmhouse has wonderful original features that include Welsh slate flooring, exposed oak beams and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The atmospheric dining room, believed to be around 300 years old, provides a memorable space for entertaining, while the bright dual-aspect sitting room features a multi-fuel stove and French doors opening onto the Welsh slate terrace and gardens.

Further accommodation includes a fitted farmhouse kitchen with cold pantry or cellar, utility room, two shower rooms, family bathroom and four first-floor bedrooms, one currently used as a home office. A light-filled extension with underfloor heating, large windows and patio doors offers excellent flexibility, with potential for annexe, guest or studio accommodation, subject to consent.

Outside, the grounds are a fantastic set up for equestrian uses, or space for other animals or hobbies in a beautiful countryside setting close to the coast. 3 small paddocks, and hard standing space with barn currently used as a stable, hay barn and tack room.

Dolen Farm is conveniently located near Ynys-hir Nature Reserve and Michelin restaurant of the same name, the Dyfi Osprey Project, Ynyshir Restaurant and Machynlleth, with the beaches of Borth and Ynyslas also within easy reach.
