Description
Situation
The property is situated in a quiet location surrounded by countryside directly to the north of Ystradgynlais and the northwest of Caer’lan. The land is a short travelling distance from convenient amenities. Please see the attached location plan.
Description
This property comprises a characterful eight-bedroom detached barn conversion set within approximately 0.87 acres (0.35 hectares) of gardens and pastureland. Whilst currently operated as a successful holiday let business and configured to provide accommodation for up to twenty guests, the property has recently been granted a Certificate of Lawfulness for full residential occupation, offering flexibility for both residential and commercial uses.
Extending to approximately 1,500 sq ft at ground floor level, the accommodation provides generous and versatile living space. The property is currently arranged with three ground-floor bedrooms, a substantial dining room and two staircases. Its adaptable layout offers scope to create additional reception rooms or, subject to the necessary consents, potential to reconfigure the accommodation into two separate dwellings.
The first floor comprises a spacious principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with additional bedrooms and well-appointed family bathroom accommodation.
Also included is a traditional stone barn, which may offer potential for conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The building was formerly utilised as a four-bedroom dwelling but has since fallen into disrepair, presenting an exciting restoration and development opportunity.
The property enjoys a desirable rural setting with convenient access to the southern reaches of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, renowned for its stunning waterfalls, cave systems, walking trails and outdoor pursuits.
The land extends to approximately 0.87 acres (0.35 hectares) comprising level and gently sloping gardens and pasture contained within a single enclosure, as edged red on the attached plan.
Additional land may be available by separate negotiation from a third-party landowner.
Access
Access to the property is via an unnamed public adopted highway off Palleg Road.
