Clyro, Nr Hay On Wye, Powys

Description

A superbly situated, small family farm, with considerable potential for a variety of uses, on the market for the first time in 46 years due to retirement. In an enviably peaceful, yet easily assessable position, having no near neighbours and wonderful views. It is less than 3 ½ miles from the renowned book and festival town of Hay-on-Wye. This superb, well-built and spacious 4 double bedroomed family home, with its high ceilings was re-built in 1902, when it was then part of the Baskerville Estate, and the old house is mentioned in Francis Kilvert’s famous 1870‘s diary. The garden is a feature and wraps around the house and has lovely views towards the Black Mountains and the Wye Valley.

.

The property is being sold with approximately 14 acres in total, with the possibility of additional land available by separate negotiation. Additionally There are two large portal framed agricultural buildings with concrete floors: lower one approximately 75ft x 70 ft in one section and the upper one, recently re-roofed, approx. 60ft x 100ft in 3 sections, opening onto the large level area at the rear. Ideal for storing a classic car collection, or for a variety of other uses, including equestrian. The separate old stone barn includes a workbench, and there is the possibility to convert the old stables adjoining the main house into a 3-bed annex. Within the curtilage of the farm there is a characteristic old stone barn that was renovated some years age. The barn has excellent potential (subject to planning) to be converted into separate accommodation, complete with its own private gardens and that could be served via its own separate access from the publicly maintained (truncated)

.

The substantial part of the house is built of stone, although the previous owners, who were at the farm for many generations, added a two-story extension to the rear in the 1960’s, this includes the kitchen which has an oil-fired AGA cooker, and this overlooks the Wye Valley, with a glimpse of the Malvern Hills in the distance. There is a relatively new central heating Worcester Bosch boiler which was installed when the kitchen was upgraded, and the house has full central heating.
