Description

Originally built in circa 1522, the original part of the farmhouse is of cruck frame design, Grade II listed and later extended. The current owners have refurbished the barns and the property could now be split to offer multi generational living. The accommodation comprises of an entrance hall, open plan bespoke kitchen with central island, exposed beams and  wood burning stove, lounge with open fire and wall timbers, utility room, office area,  shower room, snug, double height barn with two mezzanine levels, landing, spacious principal suite, shower room, dressing room, bed two with large ensuite, two further single rooms and W.C.

The Bwlch - Originally constructed circa 1522, The Bwlch is a fine example of a medieval Welsh cruck-framed farmhouse, Grade II listed and later extended. In more recent years, the current owners have undertaken a thoughtful programme of improvement, including the conversion of the adjoining barns.

The result is a highly successful combination of historic character and modern open-plan living, with flexibility to accommodate extended family living if desired.

Location & Situation - The Bwlch occupies an enviable and private setting within unspoilt Mid Wales countryside, enjoying panoramic views over the surrounding landscape and across the picturesque Ithon Valley. The area is renowned for its natural beauty, with a wealth of walking routes nearby and a variety of sites of historical and scientific interest within easy reach. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains accessible to the nearby market towns of Llandrindod Wells and Newtown, both offering day-to-day facilities, schooling and leisure facilities.

Road: The property is well positioned for access to the A483, providing convenient links to Newtown, Llandrindod Wells and the wider Mid Wales road network, connecting to the Midlands and beyond.

Rail: Rail services are available from nearby stations including Llandrindod Wells and Newtown, with connections to Shrewsbury and onward rail links to London Euston.

Air: Birmingham Airport is approximately 2 hours’ drive, with Liverpool and Manchester Airports both around 2.5 hours’ drive.

Schools: A range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools are available within the surrounding area, together with independent schooling options further afield in Shrewsbury and the wider region.

Sporting: The area offers excellent outdoor pursuits including walking, riding and cycling, together with nearby shooting, fishing and golf facilities, all set within some of Mid Wales’ most scenic countryside.

The Accommodation - The property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic Welsh farmhouse blended with contemporary living spaces, creating a home of immense character and versatility. The original cruck-framed structure, dating from the early 16th century, retains a wealth of period features, including impressive exposed timbers, inglenook-style fireplaces and charming rooms, all of which combine to reflect the property’s rich heritage and architectural significance.

The principal farmhouse accommodation is centred around a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to a large bespoke open-plan kitchen, thoughtfully designed with a central island, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove, forming a warm and sociable heart to the home. This space is ideally suited to both everyday family life and informal entertaining alike. Further ground floor accommodation includes a characterful lounge with open fire, together with a snug, office area, utility room and shower facilities, providing flexibility for modern living requirements.

A particularly striking feature is the adjoining barn conversion, which offers an impressive double-height space with mezzanine levels, creating an adaptable environment suitable for a variety of uses, whether as additional living accommodation, workspace or independent ancillary space.

To the first floor, the property provides a well-appointed principal suite with dressing area and en-suite, complemented by further bedrooms and bathroom facilities. Overall, the layout offers excellent flexibility, making it ideally suited to multi-generational living, home-working or potential income opportunities, subject to the necessary consents.

Gardens & Grounds - The property is approached via a gravelled driveway leading to a generous parking and turning area. The gardens have been carefully landscaped and are a particular feature, arranged in a charming cottage style with well-stocked borders, mature planting and a variety of established trees and shrubs.

A large paved and gravelled terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, enjoying a predominantly southerly aspect and views across the surrounding countryside. Beyond the formal gardens lie useful paddocks extending to approximately 6.3 acres, together with a further area of woodland and a Dutch barn, offering excellent amenity and lifestyle appeal.

The substantial garage and workshop provides excellent storage and workspace, with potential for further adaptation (subject PP Consent). The existing outbuildings, land and overall configuration of the property offer considerable scope for those seeking a smallholding, equestrian use or further lifestyle development.
