A characterful, substantial former Woollen Mill, consisting of a five bedroom dwelling (could be divided into two units) with further old mill factory section used at present for general storage purposes & games room. Set in about 35 acres (34.99) of pasture and mature woodland in a very private and secluded location, with the property’s entrance lane being about ½ mile or so long. On the market for the first time in 30 years, it has been subject to various sympathetic upgrading works and is suited for either a large family/multi-generational living, or just peaceful living in a wonderful environment. Accommodation The building can be divided into three sections - cottage, main house and remaining former mill/factory. It currently provides spacious accommodation to include five bedrooms, together with a kitchen, two receptions, study, large games room, two bathrooms, one shower room, together with two large areas on the far end which are suitable for conversion into further living purposes. The entrance lane bounds with mature woodland on one side and overlooks a long narrow dingle and pastureland beyond on the valley bottom. You pass a derelict woollen mill 'Glan Bargoed' on the track. On arriving at the property, the valley opens out with mature woodlands flanking the level meadows for as far as the eye can see. The dwelling sections of the building have smooth rendered external front and side walls, under a traditional slate roof, and have been subject to various upgrading works over the years, but still retaining various character features such as tiled floors, open beamed ceilings and double glazed timber sash windows (replaced under 10 years ago). The cottage section boiler was replaced in 2023, and is now an external based appliance.
