A farm that has been in the same family for more than 140 years has gone up for sale for £2.85 million.

Bodaioch Hall in Trefeglwys, near Llanidloes, is owned by the Griffiths family who are planning to retire from their successful dairy unit at the farm.

The sale includes an eight-bedroom period main residence, a five-bedroom cottage, a large number of farm buildings and productive farmland, suitable for pasture and arable crops.

“It’s very rare for a farm of such size and quality to come on the market in the area and it’s suitable for both commercial farmers and lifestyle buyers with its grand country residence,” said Joe Powell, a chartered surveyor at Morris, Marshall and Poole with Norman Lloyd.

The Leader:

Located in the idyllic Trannon Valley, the farm is close to a number of Powys towns, including the livestock markets at Welshpool and Rhayader.

“We’re anticipating a lot of interest in the property, both for its residential and agricultural opportunities. The family would be pleased to see it sell as one lot,” added Mr Powell.

The farm will be sold either as one unit or split into five lots. Lot 1 will include the hall, cottage and farm buildings, extending to 90.29 acres, while Lots 2-5 made up of high quality and productive land and pasture totalling 129.7 acres.

The Leader:

Mr Powell added: “Bodaioch Hall is well equipped as a livestock rearing and finishing unit and would support a range of farming enterprises or diversification projects. The farm buildings include a range of traditional and more contemporary units that have been used for sheep housing in recent years, although these could be adapted, subject to necessary planning consent.”

It is an attractive period property including reception hallway, study, sitting and living rooms, a dining room, kitchen, pantries, conservatory and eight bedrooms.

The neighbouring semi-detached cottage includes a hallway, living and sitting rooms, utility room, kitchen/dining room and five bedrooms.

The farm buildings include stone, timber and steel-framed structures.
