fabulous views from the farm views from the farmhouse

Located in one of the most beautiful, tranquil and stunning locations in the area, the 15th/16th century farmhouse, together with a number of stone barns and outbuilding, sits amidst circa 97 (tbv) acres of its own south-facing farmland, with several springs, stream and woodlands.

The property is ideally located with direct access for mountain biking, walking and horse riding in the dramatic valleys and mountains in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Enjoying breathtaking views towards the Gaer, Skirrid and Bynarw mountains, the farmhouse nestles in a hidden valley at the end of a long lane. The farmhouse has much character and many features including exposed timbers, original doors, wooden and flagstone floors and an impressive inglenook fireplace.

The farmhouse and stone barns are approached by a country lane which continues over a stream to a track bordered by fields. As the track winds its way up the mountain, approximately half way along is a cluster of stone agricultural buildings which could (subject to necessary consents) provide either holiday cottages or stables and buildings for equestrian and agricultural use. Continuing along the track, the main farmhouse, barns and old pigcots can be found further up the mountain. The farmhouse and stone outbuildings are in need of some renovation and provide a rare and unique opportunity to create a beautiful home in a glorious setting. A truly rural idyll offering peace and tranquility.

Patrishow Church

The house stands above the historic, attractive and tiny church of St Ishow. The church is named after, and dedicated to, the holy hermit Issui who had a cell nearby and baptised pilgrims in the tiny stream of Nant Mair. Legend has it that the hermit was murdered in the Well he built and following his death the Well acquired healing properties. A wealthy pilgrim, who was cured of leprosy, was so grateful he left a hat full of gold at the Well to build the first church in the Parish.

To the rear of the house lies hillside grazing which is bordered by a stone wall with an access gate to the mountain. The stone wall is the rear boundary to the property.

Barns & Outbuildings

Approximately half way along the track and located in a sheltered spot below the main house are a cluster of stone barns which are enclosed to one side by a stone wall. There are some superb views from this 'mini farmyard' and subject to necessary planning consents, would make ideal holiday cottages or ancillary accommodation to the main house. Fields lie to both the front, side and rear of the buildings.

To the side of the main house is an attractive, traditional stone built long barn with double doors to both the front and side elevations. This barn could, subject to the necessary planning consent, again provide holiday cottages or ancillary accommodation.

stone barns at Ty'r Ywen

With a creative architect and consent from Brecon Beacons National Park, this barn could possibly be linked to the main farmhouse. Alternatively, the barn could be used for equestrian purposes or perhaps a studio - a superb artists' retreat!

Front of the Farmhouse

There is parking for cars in the lower farmyard. The house is accessed via stone steps up to a flagstone courtyard with raised flower beds and stone retaining walls. There is an attractive, rustic stone table and seating. From the front courtyard is a wooden pedestrian gate to a walled lawned garden. In the garden are some stone outbuildings and a wooden garden shed.

Aside from the fantastic views, one of the features of the garden is a Yew Tree from which the house takes its name. Gates lead from each side of the house to the track and grounds behind. A number of gently sloping fields lie to the front of the house and adjoining the track at the lower level the ground falls away to the stream which is the natural boundary.

To one side of the house are some stone pigcots and a wood store. The gate opens onto a track continuing both to the upper fields and to the mountainside. To the other side of the house are a range of stone barns with part stone roof. There is also a stone built stable/animal shed with original wooden door. To the rear of the stone barn is an open sided dutch barn. The track continues to the fields adjoining the barns.
