Llanwrtyd Wells, LD5

A rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a property which has been sympathetically and beautifully improved during the current owner's tenure to now provide an ideal second home or retreat set in the heart of beautiful rural Mid-Wales.

The property itself enjoys an elevated position, overlooking a country lane, and boasts two level gardens, to the northwest and south east elevations, as well as being complemented by a large, sloping area of woodland at the rear of the property, facing northeast. The gardens themselves have been dramatically altered over the past few years, and now have many seating areas to relax and enjoy the views, as well as a pond and pathway meandering through the grounds. The grounds offer privacy, and the woodland to the rear will provide the new owner with ample logs to keep the woodburning stove going for years!

Installed by the current owner, a private driveway rises from the country lane that the property sits on, which is suitable for parking a couple of vehicles, however there are also pedestrian steps that lead up to the front door of this remarkable residence. The entrance to the property itself leads to a small hallway, with staircase to the first floor accommodation, as well as the impressive ground floor. The ground floor is completely open planned, and a door from the hallway opens up into a lovely reception/kitchen. The room itself has plenty of space, measuring 4.89 x 4.48m, and you are immediately presented with a lovely space to relax, enhanced by a charming stone fireplace, which is the perfect setting for a woodburning stove (the current one is in need of replacing). There is a picture window to the front of the building, and the views are absolutely delightful. The modern kitchen is at the rear of the ground floor, with plenty of room for food preparation, cooking and dining, having a breakfast bar dining area overlooking the reception area. There is also an open storage area under the stairs, as well as the benefit of a back door, leading to the gardens. 

The first floor accommodation continues to impress. There are two bedrooms, measuring 2.76 x 2.42m and 2.63 x 2.46m, a modern family bathroom boasting a suite of panelled bath, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin, as well as a walk-in wardrobe storage room, measuring 1.66 x 1.16m, all accessed from the landing. The views from the bedrooms are even better than on the ground floor!

Externally, the property benefits from the aforementioned driveway and gardens, as well as a useful wood shed and garden stores adjacent to the house itself. Being nestled into the side of the hill, and having plenty of privacy, this is a breath-taking property which really must be viewed to be appreciated in full!

NB: We have been advised that there is an area of Japanese Knotweed present along the boundary of the property, which has been treated by the current owner during their tenure, and is diminishing, but is not yet fully eradicated. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult their solicitor and mortgage providers to discuss this in more detail.

Telephone & Broadband: Telephone- subject to BT transfer regulations. According to comparethemarket.com the property has a broadband speed of: 64.50 Mbps (average speed of Mbps).

The property is located in an elevated position, around a mile out of Llanwrtyd Wells; one of the smallest towns in Mid-Wales, sitting astride the River Irfon. With a population of approximately 850, it famously claims to be the smallest town in Britain. The town is located on the A483 between Llandovery and Builth Wells near the Tywi and Irfon valleys. Llanwrtyd Wells grew as a spa town around the Ffynnon Ddrewllyd, which still exists, following the discovery of waters with healing properties in 1732. The town is the site of both the World Bog Snorkelling Championships and the annual Man versus Horse Marathon, as well as other annual events. The market town of Builth Wells, located at the heart of Powys, is just 13 miles away in what is arguably some of the most beautiful countryside in the United Kingdom. Builth Wells lies within the Historic Boundaries of Brecknockshire, situated on the banks of the River Wye and the River Irfon – The upper section of the Wye Valley. Builth Wells is famously known for hosting the annual Royal Welsh Show, which is the biggest agricultural show in Europe and attracts over 240,000 visitors to the town each year.
