PENYLAN BARN
From the south side of Caerderri Road, a track, which is only suitable for 4x4 vehicular access at present, proceeds up towards the property to the south-west. After approximately 0.8 miles the property is entered via a gated entrance which leads up to the rear of the house with an extensive parking area for multiple vehicles. An overgrown track then leads round to the front of the dwelling. The dwelling is a historic barn conversion which has also been extended featuring rendered stone and brick elevations under a pitched slate roof. The front door opens into the front hallway. On the right-hand side is an extensive room which would have been the dining room with single aspect window to the front and concrete floor. On the left of the hallway is the sitting room with single aspect window to the front and impressive stone crafted fireplace with open fire.

From the rear of the hallway is the front kitchen with Rayburn and single aspect window and door to the rear and cupboard with heating tank. Off the side of the front kitchen is the rear kitchen with base unit with metal sink, free standing oven and single aspect window to the rear. From the rear of the front kitchen the external back door opens into a rear porch area. Off the side is the pump room which features an old range stove and the pump for the water system. Next to this and accessed from the rear porch is a coal shed.

From the front hallway stairs lead up to the first floor which features three double bedrooms, all with boarded floor and views and the family bathroom with bath, wc and wash basin.

Internally the property is in need of full modernisation. Externally to the side of the converted barn is an attached traditional stone barn which could be incorporated into the dwelling subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.

In terms of services, there are no mains services connected. The water supply to the property is from rainwater catchment which fills a storage tank below the house. There is also a connection to the picturesque stone well adjacent providing a useful private water supply. Electricity is provided by a generator which is housed within the brick and traditional stone outbuilding adjacent to the dwelling. Heating is by way of the solid fuel Rayburn and the open fire in the sitting room.

The house is in need of full modernisation and refurbishment but nevertheless provides an excellent off-grid project in a fantastic location with lifestyle, development, agricultural and equestrian appeal.

OUTBUILDINGS
Positioned immediately on the right-hand side after entering through the entrance gate is the first of the outbuildings, a traditional block and brick barn which has been partitioned with one half providing a useful workshop/storage shed and the other housing the oil-fired generator. The barn could provide a useful studio annex or office subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Positioned to the east of the dwelling in a raised position is a timber framed tin sheeted sheep shed with pitched roof and lean-to. Set away to the south-east is another timber-built building which provides useful fodder storage. The primary agricultural building is positioned centrally within the holding comprising a three bay fully enclosed pole barn with tin sheet elevations and roof with earth floor. The barn provides useful storage for machinery and fodder but could be used for a range of possible uses.

Directly south of the dwelling, is the well. The well is a beautiful stoned well with steps leading down to the water. On ground above the well to the south is the remains of an old ruined barn. Close by in a small paddock directly south-east is another well which has been fenced off.

LAND
The land at Penylan Farm is set within a clearly defined ringfenced compartment comprising six field enclosures and paddocks with a central rectangular orchard with damson, chestnut, cherry apple and plum trees of varying ages. All the land is permanent pasture and stock proof fenced with the vast majority of the land being level to very gently sloping and capable of being grazed or mown for fodder. As the pastureland field enclosures are regular in size they could easily be subdivided further into paddocks. 

The land would certainly provide the perfect grazing for a collection of ponies or pedigree livestock.

A public right of way runs up the track then leaves the property running parallel to the northern boundary. It then crosses back over the property running from north to south within the western field.

In total the land and property at Penylan Farm extends to approximately 27.32 acres (11.06 hectares).
