A self-sufficient 19th century farmhouse with over 40 acres including ancient woodland is up for sale.
Tanyfoel, near Llanfyllin is a detached three-bedroom farmhouse with an established holiday letting business attached. The property also has a detached five bedroom barn conversion and a detached open-plan barn with mezzanine level. The buildings hold an elevated position within the acreage, “offering excellent views of the valley and the surrounding hills”.
Agents Roger Parry who are handling the sale have said that the star of the site is the approximately 42.8 Acres that comes with the property. The land includes “pasture, meadow, ancient woodland and a stream” as well as boasting “breathtaking views” and is “a renowned 'dark skies' area, ideal for stargazing.”
With "breathtaking 360-degree views", the area is described as a “wildlife haven”, comprising a range of natural habitats including pasture, meadow, ancient woodland, and a private stream.
The holiday letting business is described as being very successful “recently earning up to £50,000 per annum” and has the “opportunity to grow and potentially extend/ expand, to include glamping, shepherd huts or log cabins (subject to necessary consents and planning).”
They add that “wildlife tours, ancient woodlands and 'dark sky' nights are just some of the activities that could attract visitors all-year round”.
Agents Roger Parry and Partners, who are handling the sale, have also said that the property is remarkably self-sufficient.
They said: “The main property benefits from ground-source central heating, as well as the electricity supply being offset by solar panels, and private drainage systems for both the barns and main house.
“The barns are heated by a biomass boiler fuelled by wood sourced, from the woodlands, within the property’s land. A productive growing area produces a wide range of vegetables, fruits, and herbs, whilst naturally growing edible fungi and fruits can be acquired from the surrounding land, and woodlands. There is also the ability to keep livestock and poultry as additional food sources.”
Internally the farmhouse dates back to the early 19th Century and is described as “an attractive property combining charming characteristics with modern family living.”
“The property's large kitchen/diner is fitted with bespoke, solid oak units, and benefits from a well-proportioned utility room and cloakroom.
“The sitting room centres around an original Inglenook fireplace, with an inset log burner, ideal for entertaining and 'cosy' winter nights. Accessed via the sitting room, the sun room offers excellent views thanks to its large, oak framed windows and glazed double doors, opening out onto the garden.
“Upstairs, three double bedrooms have shared access of a family bathroom, as well as a large balcony area with far reaching views, down the valley. An external laundry room services the holiday accommodation.”
“The property was restored with sustainability in mind, with the entire heating (underfloor) and hot water system powered by a ground source heat pump, as well as 14 solar panels offsetting the electrical costs.
"Furthermore, extensive insulation throughout the property has helped it to achieve an an EPC rating of C78, which is exceptionally high for a property of this age.”
Reflecting the unusual opportunity the property price is quite high with an asking price of £1,495,000.
