Attractive small farm/ lifestyle-change property perfect for those wishing to keep animals, look into potential tourism/diversification uses.
Pencaerau Mawr is an attractive small farm/ lifestyle-change property that is perfect for those wishing to keep animals, and to look into potential tourism/diversification uses. In summary, it includes a large farmhouse retaining character features and offering extensive accommodation space with up to five reception rooms (two part completed) and five bedrooms (three with en suite shower/bathrooms) and two further bedrooms (part completed with space for two further en suite shower rooms). This house could be divided to provide an annexe/holiday accommodation (stp).
The traditional farm courtyard is framed by two large stone barn ranges that are currently used for storage/stabling but have the potential for conversion into further accommodation (stp – subject to planning). In addition there are numerous modern outbuildings that are suitable for livestock, horses, ponies, feed and machinery but are suitable for a variety of uses. Lying either side and to the rear of the farmstead are a series of pasture fields a block of mature woodland and a belt of woodland that borders a stream. In all, the property extends to about 52 acres.
Accommodation Ground Floor
A welcoming entrance porch leads into the drawing room with laminate flooring, exposed stone walls and excellent natural light. A door leads through to the dining room with vaulted A-frame beams, exposed stone walls, wood-burning stove and French doors opening onto the rear terrace. Adjacent to this is a cosy snug room enjoying exposed stonework and beams.
A doorway leads off the dining room to the large kitchen breakfast room that features exposed beams and stone walls, a range of attractive base and wall units together with work surfaces, integrated ovens, dishwasher, hob, sink unit and a cooking range. French doors open to the rear garden. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room fitted with a range of base units, sink unit and work surfaces, providing practical ancillary space. There is also a separate cloakroom and boot room with access to outside.
A central hallway with tiled floor (with staircase to the first floor) provides access to the remaining reception rooms at the front of the farmhouse. These rooms consist of the living room with a large stone inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and a games room with exposed stone wall and fireplace. These two front reception rooms are partly completed.
First Floor
On the first floor are five bedrooms. Two bedrooms overlook the rear gardens and have en suite bathrooms with a third bedroom (that has views over the side of the property and front courtyard and valley beyond), has an en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are partly completed (one being accessed by a temporary staircase) and both have space set for planned en suite shower rooms.
Externally
To the front of the farmhouse is a substantial traditional farm courtyard framed by the traditional stone barns (former cowshed and stables and cart house) and walled entrance. To the rear of the farmhouse is a large garden, mainly laid to lawn and enhanced by a wide variety of mature shrubs and established planting including an orchard with fruit trees. The gardens enjoy delightful views across the surrounding countryside. The garden offers an excellent space for family life, outdoor entertaining, and relaxation. A covered patio area adjoining the rear elevation offers an excellent outdoor seating and dining space, ideally suited for entertaining, relaxation and enjoying the rural setting throughout the year.
Further details on the Outbuildings and Land are under the Additional Information section below.
I love the traditional courtyard with the stone barns while the large house, further outbuildings and mix of land, offers great potential for new owners.
