Description

The original part of Waun Llongau is thought to date c.1988 and has been significantly extended by the current owners in c.2002-03 to provide an impressive property that offers extensive living accommodation. The property has been designed in a farmhouse style with beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces and a thatched roof. The property would be perfect for a large or extended family or for those seeking to generate an income or pursue potential commercial use by utilising the two self-contained studio apartments and one/two bedroom log cabin.
