FOR SALE BY ONLINE AUCTION ON THURSDAY 9TH JULY 2026 AT 2PM.

A notable Grade II brick and stone roadside cottage requiring complete modernisation and renovation offering great potential to convert and renovate into a home. The property is situated in the Llidiartywaen area being some 5 miles from the market town of Llanidloes. Llanidloes is a popular market town with an array of small shops and cafes and its distinctive black and white old market hall in the centre of the town. Convenient to a number of popular tourist attractions with the Clywedog Reservoir with its sailing and fishing, Hafren Forest with its boardwalk to the source of the Severn. Rhayader is approximately 10½ miles distant and the coastal university town of Aberystwyth 37 miles away.

Lower Talbot currently has no services connected and also has had some fire damage in the past. The staircase to the first floor has been removed and therefore we were unable to access the first floor area. The ground floor is divided into 2 rooms and there is a stable to the side. Opposite the property is a detached small area of land being the former garden together with the remains of the old forge. To the rear of the property are 2 overgrown paddocks. In all the grounds extend to 2.74 acres (?? ha).

Unregistered.

No mains services connected. Upper Talbot is adjacent to the property which we believe has mains electric.
