Property Details
Situated in the rolling Welsh countryside and registered as a small holding, lies this seventeenth century, Grade II listed, seven bedroom property with extensive gardens and land. It is listed by cadw for its:
“special architectural interest as a seventeenth century regional house with significant eighteenth century improvement of definite quality and character”. Within the house there are some very fine features such as an eighteenth century, dog-leg stair with turned newels and an exposed close-studded partition; believed to be an original partition between the hall and parlour indicating an earlier hall.
A locally crafted gate marks the entrance to the property and driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. The entrance hall offers access to the study and dining room and leads through to an inner hall with the kitchen and utility room off to one side and the conservatory to the other; from which can be access a further reception room. A cloakroom with wc and sink completes the ground floor accommodation. Underfloor heating under the flagstones downstairs extends into the conservatory.
The first floor is home to four of the seven bedrooms, three of which are en-suite and one has access to a shower room and separate dressing room across the landing. The en-suite in the master bedroom has a corner shower cubicle, wc, sink and a bath set in a bay window with views out over the gardens. Given the layout of the rooms, it is easy to see how the property was once run as a bed and breakfast business with potential to be so again. There are three further bedrooms on the second floor which offer a mixture of fitted wardrobes, cupboards, access to eaves storage and a further cloakroom with wc and sink.
Outside the property the extensive gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with terraced landscaping and a wide variety of well-established trees and shrubs. Three shepherd’s hut offers views over the valley, additional accommodation and there is a separate hut offering bathroom and kitchen facilities. There are also the ruins of a baptistry to add the sense of history on offer. Beehives in the orchard produce up to three jars of honey and are managed by a local apiarist. Three are two fields, access to woodland and an orchard providing fruit for every type of crumble! Longs walks are available from the doorstep - ideal for a crisp autumn afternoon.
The property benefits from sheep’s wool insulation in the attic and is fully insulated with some of the windows having secondary glazing. This is a unique offering in a rural and tranquil setting which, with some degree of refurbishment, could become a stunning family home or business opportunity. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate what is on offer.
