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. There are two very large agricultural portal framed buildings which were erected by the previous owners, these have potential for a variety of uses. The main roof being replaced in recent years.
The property has the benefit of a recently installed borehole which is an excellent water supply.
Adjoining the house are the much older stone farm buildings with planning consent being granted over 30 years ago for a 3-bed annex, and it was partly re-roofed then.
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 road.

.    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.

Location    The village of Clyro is located approximately one and a half miles from Hay on Wye, Clyro itself offers a garage/shop, primary school, church, and with a village hall that has regular events including a pop-up pub, post office service and weekly café. Hay-on-Wye has a wider range of facilities and includes a supermarket, doctors and dental surgeries, post office, library, etc. It also holds its famous Hay Festival of literature each year.
