Talachddu, Brecon

A delightful rural property with stunning views of the Brecon Beacons. Detached 7 bed house in a commanding position. Set in just over 5 acres of grounds including a paddock and a useful outbuilding.
Further potential for commercial development. For sale as a Whole by Private Treaty.

Situation - Y Neuadd is a country home with an abundance of charm and character. The house offers versatile accommodation with the potential for dual self-contained living including a downstairs bedroom suite. The property is set in a commanding position with panoramic southerly views towards the Brecon Beacons.
The original house is believed to dave back to the 17th Century in the form of an original Welsh Longhouse which has been enhanced over the years whilst retaining a wealth of original features including exposed beams, stone fireplaces and deep sill windows.
Set in just over 5 acres with a beautiful garden, generous driveway, a paddock, pond and exceptionally useful steel outbuilding set away from the house, the property has scope for commercial activities or development. Previously, the vendor has hosted glamping on the paddock and used the main building to provide extensive commercial storage in an exceptionally private location.
The barn adjacent to the house again offers scope for development to potentially provide further accommodation although it is exceptionally useful in its current form.

Location - The village is in an excellent location for access to an extensive range of facilities in Brecon and Hay-on-Wye with both being popular tourist destinations and surrounded by picturesque countryside and close to the Wye Valley, Usk Valley and Brecon Beacons National Park.
Both state and private education institutions are found nearby with the M4 motorway being just over an hour by car to Newport.

Accommodation - Entering through the main door into the original house and into the hallway with a downstairs cloak and shower room, there is a sitting room on the right with the original stone fireplace and front window.
A door connects to the kitchen with exposed beams, a Rayburn, natural stone floor and a door to the side. From the sitting room, there is believed to be a boarded up connecting door into the original barn which has since been converted to accommodation.
From the hall, there are steps into another reception room with a fireplace and windows overlooking the garden and views beyond. This reception room leads to a downstairs bedroom with a wardrobe, a rear hall with a shower room and kitchenette plus a study with cupboards.
The converted attached barn offers contemporary style accommodation, still with rustic character including two generous reception rooms with a fireplace and stove in one, a downstairs shower room and fitted kitchen with a door to its own garden.
On the first floor, both the main house and barn connect right though offering six bedrooms with the main bedroom having an en-suite bathroom with a roll top bath and basin.

Outside - Approached via a country lane, the driveway sweeps up to the main house with a separate parking area for the barn.
The driveway separates with one lane serving the paddock and a timber cabin which has had various uses over the years and enjoys stunning views. The building could make a wonderful studio.
Immediately to the side of the drive is the traditional stone barn. The barn has full length doors and it split into three partitioned areas offering excellent scope for development (subject to planning) for further accommodation or commercial use.
The garden, which extends to the south and west, has lawned areas, well stocked borders, trees and shrubs. Behind the barn there is a pond which provides a haven for wildlife.
The main outbuilding is currently used for storage and has a number of partitions with offices, workshops, a library, studios and greenhouses. Overall, the building offers 500 sq/m of space with power, water, lighting and drainage.
