Externally
The Outbuildings & The Land
To the front of the property, there is ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. A well-maintained lawned garden extends across the front and side of the home. An impressive range of stone barns lies on the farmyard, which has potential for conversion (subject to planning). The property extends to about 11 acres in total (stms – subject to measured survey) with the adjoining pasture fields to the north of the homestead.

Stone Outbuilding
Part stone and part block construction with slate roof and concrete floor. A pre-application enquiry to Brecon Beacons National Park with regard to conversion of the barn into two or three self-contained holiday lets has concluded that 'the principle of development is deemed acceptable'. The vendors are willing to provide a separate vehicular access over retained land to this barn if required.

Location

Ysgubor Fawr occupies an idyllic position just outside the popular village of Myddfai, in the famous Brecon Beacons National Park.

Myddfai has an active local community as well as being a popular tourist destination.

Myddfai is only about four miles south of the busy market town of Llandovery with a good choice of shops and services as well as public and private education (the latter being the renowned Llandovery College).

The historic town of Brecon is about 23 miles away to the east, again providing excellent shopping facilities and public and private education, (the latter being Christ College Brecon).

Good road connections take you onto South Wales (Cardiff and the M4 is 42 miles south east from Brecon) or continuing eastwards to Abergavenny (20 miles from Brecon) and further east onto the English border.
