Clyro, Nr Hay On Wye, Powys

Description

The original farmhouse was re-built in 1902 by the Baskerville Estate and is mentioned in the famous ‘Kilvert’s Diary’ of 1870 adding historical interest.. The predominantly ring-fenced property comprises 45 acres of gently sloping, mainly south-facing pastureland in excellent condition, enclosed by stock-proof fencing, mature hedgerows and trees and has been used for grazing only purposes for over 40 years.

.

The land is accompanied by a mix of traditional and modern outbuildings. The traditional outbuildings present potential for conversion making them ideal for many purposes including multi-generational living, additional accommodation or home working. The old cow sheds and stable buildings adjoining the farmhouse had planning for a 3-bed annex in 1990, and the main roof section was completed at that time retaining the old oak beams. Below the house sits a charming old stone barn, again with the original oak beams, which offers excellent development potential for single story living, subject to the necessary planning permission, with potential for a garden at the rear. This building can be accessed from the old entrance to the property so could potentially be entirely separate.

.

The relatively recent modern-day addition is a large portal famed barn in 2 main sections. The upper section has been recently re-roofed and is approx 100x60ft in 3 parts. The lower section70x70ft in 1 part and all have concrete flooring. It is very suitable for a variety of uses, including agricultural, equestrian, workshops and storage, opening at the front for access purposes and at the back onto a large level area adjoining the field. Additionally, there is a small practical concrete shed used for storage purposes.

.

The property divides naturally into two sections by a council-maintained single-track road, providing convenient roadside access to all the land parcels and the homestead itself. The property benefits from a private water supply from a well, a recently installed borehole and it adjoins the Cabalva Brook ensuring a reliable water supply. An old orchard and pond add further character and restoration potential with the outline of the old Kiln house and outbuilding above it, contributing to the historical charm of the site.

.

Additionally, the property enjoys excellent privacy, as there are no public footpaths crossing the land. This substantial small farm is an exceptional choice for those seeking a rural lifestyle with scope for development and expansion in the future if wanted, and it has been the most wonderful family home for almost 50 years, The property is accessed via the main, private, gravel driveway that leads to a spacious parking area. Surrounding the house are beautifully maintained, wrap around gardens, featuring a variety of trees, shrubs, flowers and a vegetable patch. There are two patio areas opening off the house leading to lawns, one off the kitchen via patio doors and the other from the mainly south facing front of the house, all complemented by several seating areas that provide spaces to relax in the peaceful setting of the property and enjoy the scenery.

.

The property is available with approximately 45 acres of excellent, well-tended and maintained, gently sloping, predominantly south-facing land in good heart.
