Unconverted barn for sale near Pontypridd, Wales

Unconverted stone built barn near Pontypridd with garden and magnificent views

An unconverted stone built threshing barn with planning permission for conversion to a three bedroom character home, in the Welsh hamlet of Llanwunno near Pontypridd

Unconverted barn set in true countryside forming a hamlet of five properties surrounded by countryside, fields, sheep and plenty of peace & quiet.

Set in the parish of Llanwunno, this beautiful barn lies 3 miles north of Pontypridd, ideally situated for access to A470, M4 and commuting to Cardiff (approx 25 minutes) and surrounding areas. Ynysybwl is a ten minute car drive or walk away (over fields) and fulfils all day-to-day functions. Pontypridd is a blossoming town and the cultural, shopping and sporting events in the capital city of Cardiff will rival any other city in the UK.

There is a primary school in Ynysybwl. The noteable Porth County school is within the local catchment area.

Local country pubs and restaurants complete the social scene.

A community of four properties has grown up around the barn in the last ten years. The other properties comprise two other barn conversions, the old manor house and the former countryman's house. All the current residents are well suited to country life and are always on hand to help out if needed.

The existing barn is of stone construction with base dimensions 12.9 x 5.9m under a profiled steel roof supported by recent timber joists. Access leads down from the private drive.

Detailed planning permission has been submitted to the local Council but final approval is anticipated for a 200 square meter development set in 700 square meters of grounds.

The final property will comprise drawing room (9m x 4.1m), dining room (6m x 2.1m), family room, master bedroom (4.1 x 4.4m) with en-suite, two additional bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. One particular feature of the accommodation is the 8.5 x 3.5m family room. This could be used either as a fourth bedroom, or as an office or a great place to banish the teenagers to, depending on your choice.

Consideration has been given to space and light allowing magnificent views of the mountain behind and valley below to be incorporated as features in the final property.

This utilises the large hay-loft doors incorporated in the original barn. Access will be along a private drive so no road noise will be assured. There will be ample parking for cars.

The barn is constructed from traditional Welsh stonework and will comprise a slate roof. The gardens will lie to the front and side of the property. With the incorporation of architectural features such as an impressive glazed entrance hall and vaulted ceiling over the master bedroom with feature window to the mountain behind, the final property will be a haven from the stresses and strains of modern day life.
