About this property

  • Blaencwm is an attractive small farm of about 62 acres (stms – subject to measured survey) with a character farmhouse, which has been sympathetically renovated and extended to provide generous and flexible living accommodation. Part of the house could be used as a self-contained annexe for an extended family or guests. The stables and extensive general-purpose outbuildings provide excellent space for the keeping of animals, be they livestock or horses/ponies as well the storage of feed, machinery and workshop purposes. The buildings could be used for a wedding barn or as the base for an internet business, subject to planning.

    Farmhouse Accommodation
    The attractive farmhouse provides flexible living accommodation and can be used as a single dwelling or as two using the annexe and has the potential for further extension (stp).

    Ground Floor
    A welcoming front entrance porch leads into a reception hall with a door off to a ground floor bedroom. Another door opens out into the large living room with tiled floor, beamed ceiling and a wood burning stove providing a warm focal point. A door leads off to the rear of the house and the large kitchen dining room, again with beamed ceiling. The kitchen features fitted units, worktops and space for appliances. Off the dining area is a ground floor bathroom while off the kitchen is a useful utility room with door to outside.

    First Floor
    Stairs rise up from the dining area to the first-floor accommodation that includes two bedrooms that overlook the front gardens, one with an en suite shower room.

    Annexe Accommodation
    A modern extension was added between 2019 – 2021 that provides ether extra living accommodation to the main house or could be utilised as a self-contained annexe for family or guests. The annexe can be accessed via the sunroom sliding patio doors or via internal lockable doors from the farmhouse kitchen dining room or the living room. To the rear of sunroom is an office/study area with a striking Dik Geurts Bora Corner 8kw wood burner, small cloakroom with WC and door to the rear garden. Adjacent is the separate fitted kitchen breakfast room. The annexe is completed by a large bedroom with en suite shower room and double French doors that open out onto a patio/the front garden.

    Externally
    A large garden sheltered by the stables on the east and a bank on the west, and a Beech hedge on the north securely fenced with very good soil. The greater part is laid to lawn with magnificent mature hydrangeas and wisteria, aubretia, cotoneaster, berberis and pieris. The owner has recently planted in the garden over the last four years a variety of plants including over ten young rhododendron and 25 roses, clematis, azaleas ,lupins, lavertia, hellebore, echocordia, honeysuckle, lavender, sweet peas. Gaillardias thrive. There is a small herb bed with bay tree, rosemary, parsley, chives, mint, oregano, sage and thyme. There are four raised stone walled flower beds and two outside taps conveniently located for watering.

    Natural Flora & fauna
    Buzzards &/or kites circle several times a week, the odd sparrowhawk appears, Cuckoos call in the spring. Woodpeckers, tits, finches, robins and wagtails feed on the bird tables. The odd hare and fox are found. The unspoilt landscape provides an abundance of naturally growing primroses, foxgloves, wild geraniums, Jacobs Ladder, Sedum, St John's Wort and Fuchsia.

    The Outbuildings
    To the side and rear of the farmhouse are a range of modern farm buildings that be used for a variety of purposes and are perfect for the keeping of animals, feed, machinery and workshop purposes. They include a:
    Wooden stable block with four loose boxes.
    Four - bay enclosed implement / loose housing shed with concrete floor, water and electricity connected.
    Former milking parlour
    Loose housing shed
    Storage shed
    Lean-to store / garage - Open front with concrete floor
    Former cubicle house with concrete floor converted to sheep housing and lambing pens.

    The Farmland
    The farmland, about 49 acres (stms), faces north which is less prone to droughting in dry times. All fields are either naturally watered from streams or watered with troughs gravity fed from a tank (fed by the borehole). Most of the land has been limed in the last four years.

    The Woodland
    On the west side of the house of the house is an area of woodland extending to about 13 acres (stms) which has recently been clear felled and replanted in 2021 with a predominantly broadleaved mix, mainly Beech with some Oak, Rowan, Aspen and Spruce trees. The trees are now standing above the surrounding vegetation. A stone road has been laid down to the stream at the bottom.
    We have been informed by the owner that the purchaser of Blaencwm and his family/visitors have the right to roam through and to drive down to the stream in the middle of the adjoining woodland (about 75 acres)
    The adjoining woodland owner has the right to use the access through Blaencwm to the wood and the landing area. As there is no commercial crop left to fell it will be about 20 – 25 years before the access would be used for timber lorries for extraction purposes.

The peace and far reaching views greet you as soon as reach this property!
