Description

Halls are delighted to offer for sale this building plot: Glan Y Gors, a superb opportunity to create a bespoke family home in a highly desirable rural location. Full planning permission has been granted to demolish the existing dwelling and construct a striking four-bedroom detached house with an attached double garage. The property extends to approximately 6 acres, offering space, privacy and endless lifestyle possibilities in the heart of the scenic Powys countryside. Please note that more photos will be added in due course.

Description - Glan Y Gors is an exciting opportunity to purchase a PRIME BUILDING PLOT with full planning permission for a striking architect-designed home set in approximately 6 acres. The current site includes an older-style dwelling ready for redevelopment, with approved plans allowing the next owner to create a spacious two-storey residence that blends contemporary living with the peace of rural life.

Upstairs, the proposed layout features a luxurious master suite with dressing room and en suite, alongside two additional double bedrooms—each with their own en suite—and a large landing. The layout could be adapted with minimal changes to incorporate a fourth double bedroom, depending on buyer preferences.

The approved design provides a total internal floor area of approximately 239 sq. m (2,575 sq. ft), plus a substantial attached garage of 48 sq. m (517 sq. ft). The garage is connected to the main dwelling via a practical link, offering potential to further extend the living accommodation (subject to the necessary consents).

Land - The land extends to approximately 6 acres, comprising a mix of pasture, garden and grounds. It offers a blank canvas for a variety of uses, including grazing, rewilding, horticulture, or equestrian pursuits, subject to requirements.
