A Unique Countryside Retreat with Panoramic Views – Llandeilo Graban

Tucked away in the serene hills of Llandeilo Graban, just a short stroll from the historic St. Teilo’s Church, this exceptional and unique home is full of character, charm, and breath-taking scenery. With sweeping views across the Epynt and Black Mountains, this is a rare opportunity to own a property that offers both soul and substance in one of Mid Wales’ most picturesque settings.

The original stone cottage has evolved over time to become a wonderfully inviting home, blending period features with a thoughtful layout designed for comfort and versatility. At its heart lies the first-floor reception room - an outstanding space and the true pièce de résistance of the house. Accessed via its own staircase from the ground floor hallway, this elevated room is flooded with natural light and enjoys those magnificent, far-reaching views. Spacious and inspiring, it’s perfect as a lounge, dining hall, cinema room, or games room - a place to relax, host, and truly unwind.

The ground floor also boasts a second, equally atmospheric reception room, rich with character. Here, you’ll find exposed beams, a large inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, and the charming detail of an original bread oven - all complemented by timber panelling that adds warmth and authenticity. Two staircases cleverly separate the living and sleeping areas: one leading from the main hallway to the upper reception room, the other from the ground-floor reception to a private landing, two comfortable bedrooms, and a generously sized storage cupboard.

The kitchen/breakfast room is modern, light-filled and functional, offering ample space for cooking, preparation, and casual meals, with room for a range-style cooker. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor provide flexibility and ease of access.

Outside, the grounds extend to approximately 0.75 acres of relatively level, mature gardens with established planting, open lawns, and countryside views. Tucked behind a hedge lies a 20ft productive polytunnel bursting with tomatoes, salads, chillies, herbs, and cucumbers, alongside a walk-in chicken coop (which could easily become a fruit cage), a composting area, and soft fruit beds. Perfect for equestrian or outdoor enthusiasts, the property also includes two stables, a tack room, a double garage, and ample parking.

Rarely does a home of this character and individuality come to market. With its charming history, incredible setting, and flexible layout, it offers a truly special lifestyle opportunity in the heart of rural Wales.
