DescriptionPentre Farm offers an exciting opportunity to purchase an historical collection of stunning Grade II Listed stone barns in the most idyllic of locations and explore a variety of potential residential/leisure/commercial uses (STPP) to bring them back to life and safeguard their future.
The agricultural stone barns include old livestock housing, old cartsheds, stables, and feed stores that have retained a wealth of character and period features to admire, treasure and preserve. We understand that the barns have had planning for a residential scheme of eleven dwellings (plus the farmhouse and cottage making thirteen dwellings in total) in the past and on a separate occasion, planning for a luxury hotel complex with thirteen holiday lodges, bar, restaurant, function rooms, suites, swimming pool, gym and spa treatment rooms. These consents have lapsed but do show how positively the planning authority viewed the potential of the site to serve such schemes.
The property also includes the old original farmhouse that is a complete renovation and refurbishment project but offers extensive accommodation space. Adjacent is Pentre Farm Cottage that is the first successful renovation and refurbishment on the site. This now provides excellent living accommodation and a base for new owners taking on the rest of the farm. The property extends to circa 18 acres and includes two large fields laid to pasture, landscaped gardens, and mature trees.

Internal DetailsThe site currently offers the following;
Pentre Farmhouse
Attached to the rear of Pentre Farm Cottage is Pentre Farmhouse that is in need of full renovation but offers extensive accommodation space.
Pentre Farm Cottage
This handsome Grade II Listed cottage was renovated by the owner in 2012 and reroofed and repointed in 2016. It now provides a comfortable base in the courtyard for new owners to use while exploring the various potential projects with the adjacent courtyard. The cottage has been sympathetically renovated and refurbished retaining all of its character features whilst incorporating modern touches and comforts. The property offers a living room and dining room with the focal point of a double sided wood-burning stove. Off the dining room is a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a separate utility room with shower room. A useful mezzanine area runs above the kitchen that could be used as extra living accommodation. Three generous-size bedrooms can be found on the first floor that have the use of a family bathroom.
Courtyard Farm Barns
The impressive collection of Grade II Listed traditional stone barns and outbuildings include old coach houses, cowhouses, stables, feed stores, and a dovecote. The majority of these encircle the historic traditional courtyard that has the old pumphouse with weighbridge scales at its centre and a striking pyramid-shaped roof. There is also a useful modern general purpose open span building set away from the stone barns.
External DetailsExternally, the property extends to circa 18 acres and includes its own driveway (three neighbouring properties have a right of way over part of it), a stunning collection of barns and outbuildings situated around an equally attractive courtyard, mature grounds mostly laid to grass with ponds, two large fields (one with road access that has the potential to provide another means of access to the property) and pockets of woodland. It's a sizeable an unique site.
The OpportunityPentre Farm is a quintessential Welsh farm complex that combines heritage and charm with versatility and potential. Its traditional stone construction, spacious interiors, and extensive grounds make it an exceptional property, whether envisioned as a family home, a countryside retreat, or an income-generating holiday destination. The combination of seclusion, scenery, and accessibility ensures that this property represents a rare opportunity within one of Wales’ most captivating regions. The opportunities to develop this site are endless, and in a manor of differing ways to suit one's needs. It's certainly one not to be missed.
Development PotentialWe understand that in the past the barns have had planning for a residential scheme of eleven dwellings (plus the farmhouse and cottage making thirteen dwellings in total) and on a separate, most recent occasion, planning for a luxury hotel complex with thirteen holiday lodges, bar, restaurant, function rooms, suites, swimming pool, gym and spa treatment rooms. These consents have lapsed but do show how positively the planning authority viewed the potential of the site to serve such schemes over recent years.
