Bronllys, Brecon, Powys

The Property

Bronllys Castle is an impressive Grade II* listed Georgian country residence set within the grounds of an ancient Motte & Bailey castle. In addition to the main house, which is currently divided into two apartments, the estate features the original stone Keep, a charming two-bedroom cottage called Castle Cottage, a coach house with a two-bedroom apartment, a two-bedroom barn conversion, and various other outbuildings with potential for further use.

The main residence could be turned back into one dwelling if desired which would
 boast a spacious, versatile family home.

The ground floor apartment known as “Lower Flat” welcomes you with a grand, spacious entrance hall which leads to an elegant sitting room with a large bay window, wooden floorboards and a cosy wood-burning stove. Flowing seamlessly from here is the dining room, perfect for hosting and entertaining. To the rear you will find a delightful kitchen and breakfast room, a convenient cloakroom and completing the ground floor accommodation are two generously sized en-suite bedrooms.

Ascending to the first floor known as “Upper Flat”, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, along with a separate shower room, bathroom, and a kitchen / dining room. The most impressive part of this floor is a large, versatile sitting room that could remain as one expansive space or be divided to create an additional bedroom if desired.

This residence blends historic beauty with versatile living arrangements, offering a truly unique opportunity for a purchaser.

The Barn

This traditional stone hay barn has been beautifully transformed into a warm and inviting home. The main living area is an expansive, open-plan kitchen, living and dining space. The floor to ceiling central windows fill the space with natural light. Painted stone walls, a cosy wood-burning stove, and stylish kitchen units add to the rustic charm. A spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine floor above the kitchen, perfect for an office or an additional bedroom.

The ground floor also includes a spacious en-suite bedroom with stunning exposed roof timbers.

Attached to the front of the barn is a versatile shed / workshop and a generous garage with a convenient shower room accessible from both the garage and kitchen.

This conversion masterfully combines character with functionality, making it an exceptional living space.

The Coach House Apartment

This expansive stone barn brims with incredible potential. Inside, it boasts a gallery and spacious stables each with high ceilings, while a central storage area offers additional space.

Above these is a two bedroom coach house apartment, complete with a cloakroom, shower room, two bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities and kitchen / sitting room.

There is also a traditional woodstore and cart shed that opens to the full height of the roof, providing ample storage space.

This barn complex combines historic charm with versatile spaces ripe for
conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.

Castle Cottage

Adjoining the main house is a charming, welcoming cottage that radiates warmth and character. The ground floor features a spacious sitting room, a kitchen / dining room and a bathroom. Stairs from the sitting room lead to two bedrooms, each with a cosy ambiance.

Stone Keep

Located strategically near the crossing of the Llynfi River, perched on a motte approximately 6 metres high, the three storey stone keep is a scheduled ancient monument maintained by CADW and is listed among the best preserved examples of the 13th century round stone tower fortifications characteristic of the Welsh Marches. The public enjoy visiting the Keep which they can gain access to via a separate public entrance.

Outside
