House for Owner Occupation/Development/Investment

Description

ONLINE AUCTION from 8th MARCH-10th MARCH

Rare opportunity. A detached bungalow set in an elevated and secluded position being surrounded by countryside and approached via a country track. The owners have a right of way over the track which is owned by the neighbour. The property requires some updating but offers great potential. There is an attached garage which has a staircase to a spacious room which could provide office space. The garage could also be opened up to provide additional living accommodation to the bungalow. The lawned garden surrounds the property and includes three ponds and ample parking space. To be sold with vacant possession.

The name Cwmtwrch (meaning Valley of the wild boar) derives from the "Twrch Trwyth", a mythical wild boar of King Arthur's legends and the ancient Welsh folklore tales of the Mabinogion in early Welsh literature.
The legend relates to one of Arthur's tasks: to rid the western Brecon Beacons of the pack of wild boars that were terrorizing the people. Arthur chased the boars from Dyfed eastward towards Powys. On the Black Mountain, he picked up a large stone (the carreg fryn fras) and cast it towards the wild animals, striking dead the leader of the pack on the edge of a valley near Craig-y-Fran Gorge. The big boar's body rolled down the valley and into the river which is now the Afon Twrch. The big stone is still on the mountain.

The early history of Cwmtwrch is found in the records of the Manor of Palleg. This small estate was owned by the Aubrey family in the early 16th century. In 1595 was said to include twenty farms scattered around the high ground to the north of the Twrch river. There was also a corn mill, Felin Palleg, close to the river.
The manor passed to the Morgan family of Tredegar House, Newport South Wales, by the late 18th century.
Nearby is the town of Ystradgynlais and villages of Ystradowen, Rhiwfawr and Ystalyfera.
