The Property
Penybryn is a beautiful red-brick Victorian farmhouse, built in 1876 and set in just under 4.5 acres of gently managed land near the village of Abermule, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Full of original features, the house has been a much-loved family home for many years and offers a rare opportunity for those looking to make their mark in a special setting.
Step inside and you're greeted by a wide hallway with original quarry tiles and the staircase rising ahead. To one side is the living room, a generous, welcoming space with original fireside cupboards and a working fireplace. Across the hall, the dining room is full of period charm, with a Victorian-style fireplace, oak picture rails, deep pine-lined cupboards, a serving hatch through to the kitchen, and a window looking out over the front garden.
A door from the living room leads through to the extensive kitchen, a warm, characterful room with bespoke painted solid beech cabinets, granite worktops, Siemens double oven, and a generous central island. A ‘Clearview’ woodburning stove set into a red brick chimney breast creates a focal point for the dining and seating area. Original quarry tiles run underfoot over an insulated floor, and French doors open to the garden.
Off the kitchen is the former scullery, now used as an office, which could also make a lovely playroom or downstairs bedroom. This offers the opportunity for multi-generational living. There is also a door from the kitchen to the full-height cellar under the dining room. At the far end of the house, the sizeable utility room has shaker-style storage units, plumbing for a washing machine, and houses the oil-fired boiler and WC. It has a stable door out to the rear, with access above to additional loft storage.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, all well-proportioned and full of natural light. The two front bedrooms are particularly spacious, both with original fireplaces. One of them includes a small adjoining room which is currently used as a box room, but could work well as an office or dressing room. The two rear bedrooms both enjoy lovely views across the garden and surrounding land, with rolling countryside beyond. One of these is currently decorated with a castle theme, ideal for children.
The family bathroom, converted from what was once the grain store, includes a bath, basin, WC, and an airing cupboard. There is space to add a separate shower, or it could be split to create an en-suite. Above, the large attic space offers potential for further accommodation, subject to consents.
Outside, the land has been managed with conservation in mind for over 30 years and includes four large vegetable plots, a well-established orchard with apples, plums, damsons, a mulberry and a walnut tree, two greenhouses, and a brick-built potting shed with a grapevine climbing happily along it. The gardens immediately around the house are well-established and gently planted, with wide lawns, productive plots, and seating areas positioned to take in the surrounding views. There is also a brick-built outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired oven, a great space for family gatherings or summer evenings.
The range of outbuildings includes a large open garden barn, granary-style shed, Dutch barn, a former cattle shed with feeding aisle, and a lean-to tractor shed and workshop. There is also a small stone quarry on the land.
The current owners have undertaken a number of improvements to the property, but the house would benefit from a programme of modernisation. It offers the next owners a fantastic opportunity to update, extend (subject to permission), or simply restore things at their own pace. What is already here is a solid, characterful home with history in its walls, plenty of space both inside and out, and all the ingredients for a long-term family home in the countryside.
