The property benefits from a substantial plot and the vendor had sought planning consent for a separate detached dwelling to be constructed in the grounds, details of which can be found on The Brecon Beacons National Park website on the planning portal under reference 19/17737/FUL. The application was later withdrawn by the vendor due to ongoing concerns by National Resources Wales about phosphate neutrality of new developments which the Agent understands is due for review in 2025. This does offer the opportunity, subject to consent, to create ancillary accommodation to suit.
