if you want isolation

[joe ox 2,547]

Property has always been cheap around  that area of the dales/Northumberland, its a very barren place. Plenty good rabbit spots.

It used to have bad or no mobile signal so probably no broadband for the THL enthusiast

plenty of room to build some pillow mound's tomo.

Another relatively common post medieval archaeological feature within the Brecon Beacons National Park are pillow mounds. These are flat topped earth mounds, often cigar shaped, with a series of internal stone lined tunnels, which were constructed as warrens for breeding rabbits.  Unlike today, rabbits were a very rare occurrence in the countryside for much of history, and demand for their meat and fur saw the breeding of rabbits develop across the period.  In parts of the Brecon Beacons National Park, such as on the Black Mountain, rabbit farms like Cefn Cûl were created, where the number of pillow mounds and the large areas devoted to rabbit farming suggest large scale commercial operations.  It may be that rabbit farming proved to be a profitable way to exploit marginal land.

I am shit with the name of roads etc but I have a good sense of direction, it’s a little cottage I rent from time to time, the road along the hillside comes up from a village called pendyrn and is very popular with motor cycles there is a big res at the other end and penyfan is to the left as you look at it, I love the isolation and wilderness of it all,  p,s I also catch a few rabbits when I,m up there

heres  your chance

I would genuinely be all over that, I wouldn’t do hardly anything to the inside just leave it as original as possible.

If houses sold quickly here, I’d probably buy it.

a lovely part of the world....been there many times

[smithie 2,424]

If I had the money I would buy the first one without even going to view.. what's not to like..

I don't need fancy mod cons but woods, land and outbuilding along with being remote has most the boxes ticked.
