Little Hall, Llandovery, SA20

 Are you looking for a lifestyle change?

Offered with no onward chain TWO splendid properties, only 3 minutes drive from Llandovery, Carmarthenshire and 35 minutes from Brecon, Powys.

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a unique rural retreat consisting of TWO properties: A beautifully renovated FIVE bedroom, FOUR bathroom farmhouse with an attached TWO bedroom cottage, with TWO bathrooms, set in 18 acres of land (further land may be available under separate negotiation). The cottage is a 5 Star and highly successful, multi award winning Furnished Holiday Let currently afforded small business rate relief (SBRR), which has been run for over a decade, thus offering purchasers an immediate income or an option to revert to residential use if required.

The land is a mix of beautifully landscaped gardens, terraces (one with fire-pit), secret garden with covered hot tub and summer house, woodland and open fields. The enclosed garden runs seamlessly into one field, which has been developed as a four-hole agricultural pitch and putt course with a shooting range, which in turn runs up to an enclosed woodland where you can find many new trees and shrubs with a private cabin offering sanctuary and wonderful views.

Viewing is strongly recommended for this outstanding property which is being presented for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century.

Ease into nature at Little Hall….

Tucked away down a private country drive, embraced by undulating, endearing landscapes, with native trees aplenty, situated in the ‘gateway town’ of Llandovery, Little Hall offers a harmonious balance of nature and nurture, nestled within approximately 18 acres of its own land and offered with no onward chain.
A wonderful, enclosed, private woodland with a variety of native trees, having a special tranquillity all of its own, complete with the hidden ‘cabin in the woods’, hand-made from previously felled trees, having wood burning stove and comfortable chairs to relax and ‘forest bathe’ whilst watching the sanctuary of wildlife, offering a true ‘get away’.
Within the 18 acres; a section for ‘games’ currently offering a shooting range, archery, an ‘agricultural’ 4 hole pitch and putt golf course and not forgetting croquet on the lawn, with practical outbuildings including secure stone shed, wood store, large storage metal shed and three car garage (currently utilised as a games room). There’s ample parking overlooking the valley, inviting you to explore and enjoy, as well as an orchard and a currently unused field ripe for further planting, grazing, outbuildings or camping/glamping business STP.
Closer to the main house, the well-stocked, mature, ‘secret garden’ hosts a wonderful fully covered ‘jacuzzi’ hot tub with summerhouse offering a changing area, lawn and seating area, allowing quiet reflection whilst immersing yourself in the natural beauty around you.
Well-planned seating areas are carefully placed throughout the grounds to ensure the best of the views and wildlife enjoyment.
Four parcels of land have been planted with native trees under the Glastir Scheme, under the wider sympathetic management of the land these are contributing to biodiversity and sustainability. There are also several flourishing apple trees in amongst these new plantations, welcoming you back to nature.

Terraces
Two stunning terraces invite you to relax and enjoy; the decked terrace with splendid views over the valley and meandering river below offers a seating area, ideal for entertaining, eating Alfresco and socialising.
