GRADE 2 LISTING
The Grade 2 listing from English Heritage reads as “Barn. Possibly C15 with later extensions. Timber-frame with weatherboards, corrugated iron and stone slate roof. Four bays aligned roughly north/south. East elevation has weatherboarded lean-to with three entries, one to left and two, juxtaposed, to right of centre. West elevation has full-height wagon entry to threshing floor in second bay from left. Interior has bays defined by crucks with
collars and cruck spurs; second truss from south end has tie- beam; wall-frames are of heavy scantling with square panels between cill and wall-plate. Bage Mill Farmhouse is not included in this list.” Access
The property has two entrances from the roadside, including an existing gateway to the east side of the house, and there is a further gateway situated between the barn and the house. Services
The house has mains electricity, oil central heating, septic tank drainage but does not currently have a mains water supply. The property to date has always been served from a natural spring located in the property boundary which has never failed to the knowledge of the vendors. It is anticipated
that a mains connection to this property would be straightforward, but buyers are to make their own enquiries with Welsh Water.
