Porth yr Ogof, Ystradfellte, Aberdare

3 Bedroom Not Specified for sale in Aberdare

Situation

Situated on the edge of the popular village of Ystradfellte within the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, the property enjoys an enviable rural setting in an area renowned for its natural beauty.

Located close to the famous ‘Four Waterfalls’ walk and Porth Yr Ogof caves, the area attracts visitors year-round. Despite its peaceful surroundings, the property is well placed for access to Brecon (approx. 21 miles) and the A470 and A465, providing links to Merthyr Tydfil, Cardiff and Swansea.

Accommodation 

Porth Yr Ogof has been the subject of substantial structural and internal redevelopment, presenting an exciting opportunity to create a significant and highly individual farmhouse with considerable scope for further enhancement.

At ground floor level, the current owners have undertaken extensive works, including the opening up of the internal stone walls and fireplace, to create an impressive open-plan living space. This generous area provides a blank canvas, allowing prospective purchasers to design and configure the layout to suit their own requirements, whether as a large open-plan arrangement or subdivided into more traditional rooms.

On the first floor, further extensive renovation works have been carried out, again offering a largely blank canvas. The space is currently arranged by way of stud partitioning to provide three double bedrooms, together with a bathroom (or potential fourth bedroom). The layout offers excellent flexibility for reconfiguration, with additional space available within the eaves providing further potential for extension or storage.

Outside

Externally, significant excavation and groundworks have already been completed, enabling a purchaser to focus on the completion of the farmhouse while offering scope to create formal gardens, parking areas, or landscaped grounds as desired.

Adjoining the farmhouse is a traditional stone barn, finished in a complementary stone and limewash render. This building offers further potential for incorporation into the main dwelling or redevelopment as additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Land and Buildings 

The property extends to approximately 44.48 acres in total, comprising a mix of productive pastureland and woodland. The gently sloping pasture is well suited to both mowing and grazing, and is divided into a number of useful-sized enclosures. The woodland, centrally located within the holding, provides natural shelter and a high degree of privacy.

Part of the land benefits from a mains water supply via troughs, and the boundaries are predominantly stock-proof, comprising sheep fencing complemented by mature hedgerows.

The farmstead includes a substantial concrete and hardcore yard, together with a steel portal frame agricultural building measuring approximately 60ft x 30ft, with an adjoining lean-to (60ft x 15ft) currently utilised for cattle cubicles. The building features poured concrete walls with Yorkshire boarding above, all beneath a fibre cement roof (which may contain asbestos).

In addition, there is a traditional stone barn extending to approximately 75ft x 25ft, offering excellent potential for conversion or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Further land may be available by separate negotiation.

Diversification Potential 

Located within close proximity to Ystradfellte and the renowned ‘Four Waterfalls’, Porth Yr Ogof presents attractive opportunities for diversification and tourism-related income.
