Description

Situation: An exceptional development opportunity to acquire Tyddyn Cynar Barn, a medieval Grade II listed barn complete with highly sought-after planning permission and listed building consent for a premium four-bedroom residential conversion. Allowing you to skip the lengthy and high-risk planning phase, this is a rare opportunity to marry a building’s historic character with bespoke luxury living.

Separated from Tyddyn Cynar House by a picturesque medieval ruin, the barn enjoys an independent position complete with its own dedicated entrance directly off the road.

The new design showcases impressive timber framing, rugged masonry, and sweeping ceiling height, while seamlessly introducing expansive, light-filled modern openings to accommodate a substantial family house / or work-from-home premises. Nestled in a sublime pastural setting of tk acres, Tyddyn Cynar Barn represents a blank canvas for an ambitious self-builder, investor, or premium developer looking to craft an elite, one-of-a-kind country residence.

The approved designs sensitively preserve the barn’s heritage. The original slate floor is set at cart level to unload the grain once threshed on the premises by Cistercian farming monks who are believed to be Tyddyn Cynar’s first owners. Beside it is an open-fronted outhouse backed with ancient staddle stones where the cart was kept.

The location is unchanged to this day - a breathtaking, south-facing view of rolling, sheep-dotted fields threaded by a tributary of the river marking the border of England and Wales. It is tucked away from the noise of major thoroughfares, and offers a peaceful, timeless lifestyle cut with days that move at an older, slower pace and soundless nights under a planetarium of starry skies. The immediate locality is defined by its panoramic vistas: right on your doorstep is a network of country walks, bridleways, ancient woods and cycling routes.

While the setting feels remarkably private, it remains deeply connected to a vibrant local community. A short drive connects you to charming, historic villages and thriving market towns, which feature independent boutique shopping, artisan cafes, weekly farmers' markets, and highly regarded schooling options.

A grant towards the restoration maybe available via The Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) ; Cadw provides co-funding to the Architectural Heritage Fund, which offers project viability and development grants for heritage regeneration in Wales.
