Trostrey Barn, Pandy

Perched high above the surrounding countryside, with panoramic views sweeping across open fields towards the iconic Skirrid Mountain, this exceptional converted stone barn offers a rare blend of heritage, space, and lifestyle. Set within just over five acres of south facing grounds and located just a mile from the historic village of Llanvihangel Crucorney, it is a home that balances rural tranquillity with everyday practicality. Rich in original character yet wonderfully versatile, it presents an opportunity as a stunning family home, a rural retreat, or a property with annexe or holiday let potential.

Step inside

The original barn, believed to date back to the mid 1800’s, forms the soul of the home. Here, the main living space unfolds as a dramatic open plan area where vaulted ceilings soar above exposed stonework and character beams, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with log burner. A handcrafted wooden staircase rises to a galleried landing, enhancing the sense of volume and connection between levels.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with far reaching countryside views, creating a peaceful retreat, while a second bedroom offers ideal flexibility as a guest room or home office. A family bathroom serves this level.

Back on the ground floor, the living space flows naturally into a farmhouse style kitchen with room for a breakfast table, perfectly positioned for day to day living. From here, stone steps lead down into the modern extension, where practicality and versatility come to the fore.

A generous utility and boot room provides excellent everyday functionality, while the adjoining hallway connects to a well proportioned bedroom with its own access to the gardens, a bathroom, and a substantial additional room. This final space, currently arranged as a sitting room or bedroom, is framed by a striking picture window capturing uninterrupted views of the Skirrid, with a door opening directly onto the decking.

The extension offers clear potential to be arranged as a self contained living area, making it ideally suited to multi generational living or guest or holiday accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Step outside

The grounds extend to just over five acres and wrap in a sweeping 180 degree arc around the home, opening to breathtaking views across the valley towards the Skirrid and surrounding countryside. Closest to the house, south facing gardens provide sheltered, sun filled spaces for seating, entertaining, and everyday enjoyment. Beyond, the land transitions into a generous sloping paddock, ideal for keeping animals or embracing a more rural lifestyle, before continuing down into a substantial parcel of mature woodland that adds both privacy and natural beauty.

A gated sweeping driveway approaches the property and provides extensive parking, reinforcing the sense of arrival while offering practical convenience. Several useful outbuildings sit within the grounds, including a summer house with elevated view deck perfectly positioned to take in the scenery, a separate office space, and a large store shed, all enhancing the versatility and lifestyle appeal of this remarkable setting.
