Agents Cobb Amos, who are handling the sale, said: “The property comprises the Old Farmhouse (originally a medieval hall house), and an attached Victorian shooting lodge. Each house is self contained but linked via internal doors.

“Both retain many original features such as traditional slate floors, exposed wooden beams and fire-places with wood-burning stoves. The cottages are surrounded by lawned gardens, and there is a vegetable garden (currently uncultivated). There are two traditional stone barns, one of which is attached to the Lodge Cottage.

“The cottages overlook approximately 14 acres of pasture and herb-rich hay meadows to the south with spectacular views of the Radnor Forest beyond.

“Currently managed organically under a short term grazing lease to a local farmer, these fields have the potential for use as a smallholding or to provide grazing for horses, sheep or cattle.

“The property is surrounded by forest with open moorland in the uplands beyond. The area is excellent for walking, mountain biking, horse riding, bird watching and, given the absence of light pollution, star gazing too.”

The asking price for the property is £585,000, anyone interested can contact agents Amos Cobb.
