Forming part of an estate that is being administered by probate research specialist Fraser and Fraser “Black Mountain Cottage” demonstrates the broad scope of work with which the firm deals.
And, while undoubtedly remote, this could be just the place to inspire an intrepid individual looking for an off-grid setting with incredible views of the Welsh countryside.
Set amid the hills of east Radnorshire, close to the border with England, the site covers roughly 3.6-acres. Although a rectangle of trees indicates where the historic cottage once stood, very little of it now remains; it is believed to have burned down in the 1970s.
According to the property’s registration documents, the new owner would however have the right to graze up to 40 sheep on the surrounding common land. Or, if they prefer, they could exchange “eight sheep units” for a pony or a cow.
Potential buyers should be aware, though, that while the site is extremely dramatic, it is also more than a mile away from the nearest tarmac road.
On the other hand, it is just a few steps from the Glyndŵr’s Way National Trail. Covering 135 miles, between Knighton and Welshpool, this long-distance footpath is named after medieval Welsh prince Owain Glyndŵr; who fought against the English in the 1400s.
The land will be sold by Auction House London on 27 October 2020, with a guide price of £7,000.
