Description - Tucked away in one of the area’s most desirable settings, this detached home enjoys a truly breath-taking outlook. Built in the 1980s and surrounded by approximately 5.3 acres of mature gardens and grounds, it offers the perfect blend of space and privacy but also enjoying planning permission for a substantial extension should a purchaser wish to create a larger family home.

From its elevated position, the property captures spectacular panoramic views — sweeping across the eastern edge of the Black Mountains above Hay-on-Wye, over The Allt, and towards Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales. Few homes can boast such an inspiring backdrop.

Adding to its appeal, the property benefits from planning permission for a substantial extension, providing an exciting opportunity to reimagine and enlarge the accommodation to create a truly outstanding family home in an exceptional location.

Situation - The property lies close to the rural hamlet of Talachddu, enjoying a peaceful countryside setting just outside the Brecon Beacons National Park, yet conveniently only six miles from the market town of Brecon.

The nearby village of Felinfach (approximately 1.5 miles) offers two welcoming public houses, including the highly regarded Griffin Inn, well known for its excellent food and friendly atmosphere.

The historic town of Brecon provides a wide range of shops, cafés, and leisure facilities, while the world-famous Hay-on-Wye, around 10 miles away, is celebrated for its independent bookshops, arts scene, and lively market culture.

Inside - The property is entered through a spacious glazed entrance hall with a stone-tiled floor, creating a bright and welcoming first impression. A traditional door leads into the inner hallway, where there is useful built-in storage and a cloakroom with WC and wash basin.

The living and dining room is a generous, light-filled space, perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family. A feature stone fireplace provides a charming focal point with space for a wood-burning stove (the existing stove will be removed). Large south-facing windows fill the room with natural light, and a glazed door opens onto a balcony that captures the stunning countryside and distant mountain views.

The kitchen is well appointed, offering a range of fitted units with an inset double-bowl sink, plumbing for a dishwasher, and an oil-fired Rayburn — a classic feature of rural homes.

A rear hall gives access to the patio and provides a practical space for coats, boots, and everyday storage.

Also on the ground floor is a bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room comprising a corner shower, pedestal wash basin, and WC. Adjoining this is a versatile utility/laundry room with fitted units and plumbing for a washing machine. This section of the house could easily be adapted as a self-contained annex or teenage suite, offering flexibility for multi-generational living.

The living room features a spiral staircase leading to the lower ground level, which provides access to three spacious double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes for added convenience. The master bedroom enjoys patio access and stunning views of the picturesque countryside. Completing the accommodation, the family bathroom includes a shower, a panelled bath, a pedestal sink, and a WC.

Outside - The property is approached via a gated entrance, leading to a sweeping driveway and generous parking area. Set within approximately 5.3 acres, the gardens and grounds provide a peaceful retreat. Mature landscaping surrounds the home, with patio seating areas offering a variety of spots to enjoy the tranquil setting. Well-established trees, shrubs, and a charming pond enhance the serene ambiance.

A stable block adjoining the property opens directly onto the paddock, presenting an excellent opportunity for equestrian activities or a countryside lifestyle. With a south-easterly orientation, the property enjoys stunning views over the surrounding countryside, including a particularly striking panorama of the Black Mountains Range.
