Description

Nestled within unspoilt Mid-Wales countryside and surrounded by rolling farmland and open common land, this beautifully presented Welsh cottage occupies a truly private yet highly accessible position near the sought-after village of Hundred House, enjoying far-reaching views from every aspect. Approached via a right of access from the adjoining common along a quiet country lane (a public highway), a traditional five-bar gate opens into a private parking and turning area, immediately establishing the peaceful seclusion that characterises the property.

The gardens have been thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained to create a series of inviting outdoor spaces, including level lawned areas, wildflower pathways requiring minimal mowing, and several carefully positioned patios that capture the sun throughout the day - perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. At the top of the garden sits a charming summer house, complete with light, power, water and blackout blinds, offering an ideal retreat, studio, or home workspace. Raised beds, rainwater storage, and a dog-secure layout further enhance the practicality of the grounds.

A particularly valuable feature of the property is the range of well-maintained outbuildings, including workshop, machinery and storage areas, carport suitable for a ride-on mower, and a substantial wood store. The upper pole barn benefits from a lean-to log store and half-height mezzanine storage, while the lower stone barn has been reroofed and partially refloored, presenting exciting potential for studio conversion (subject to any necessary consents). The property has also benefited from significant recent external improvements including renewed drainage, a new septic tank (2024), Calor LPG tank (2022), and automatic passive infrared lighting.

Internally, the cottage offers a superb blend of character and modern comfort, having been extensively renovated and sympathetically improved by the current owners since 2007. The accommodation is presented to a high standard throughout, retaining traditional features while incorporating modern efficiencies such as underfloor heating in key rooms, additional insulation to many walls, noise-insulated upper floors, and hardwood conservatory and windows. The welcoming reception rooms include a cosy snug centred around an inglenook fireplace with Woodwarm stove, lighting and traditional bread oven, while the conservatory - complete with underfloor heating - provides a wonderful entertaining space and a tranquil setting for watching the surrounding birdlife. The kitchen is well appointed with recently installed ovens and underfloor heating, and the utility room offers excellent practicality with garden access, an efficient boiler, and shower facilities.

Upstairs, all bedrooms benefit from fitted or built-in wardrobe space, and the recently refurbished bathroom includes integrated storage. Offering privacy without isolation, striking views in every direction, and direct access to countless nearby walking routes across the surrounding countryside, this exceptional cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully modernised rural home in one of Mid-Wales’ most desirable and scenic locations.

NB: We are advised that small sections within the grounds may historically have formed part of an old drovers’ road. The current owners confirm that these areas have been used as part of the property without interruption or obstruction throughout their ownership, and they are willing to provide a statutory declaration/statement of truth and, if required, an appropriate indemnity insurance policy to support this position.

Set amidst unspoilt farmland and sweeping tracts of open common land, this exceptional setting enjoys a peaceful position near the charming village of Hundred House, in the heart of Mid-Wales. Approximately equidistant between the market towns of Builth Wells and Llandrindod Wells, the location offers an appealing balance of rural seclusion and convenient access to a wide range of amenities. Hundred House itself is steeped in local history, its distinctive name believed to derive from the medieval Welsh “hundred” administrative divisions, with the historic Hundred House Inn traditionally serving travellers and local gatherings. Today the village remains popular for its welcoming community atmosphere, traditional public house and restaurant, and village hall, all surrounded by picturesque countryside. The nearby village of Franksbridge also provides valuable local amenities and is particularly well regarded for its highly respected primary school, making the area especially attractive for families seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing educational provision. Approximately seven miles away, Builth Wells offers an excellent range of everyday amenities, schooling, leisure facilities, sports clubs and a cinema, and is internationally recognised as the home of the Royal Welsh Show. Llandrindod Wells, the county town of Powys, lies around eight miles distant and provides a wider selection of retail, educational and recreational facilities, together with the elegant Victorian architecture for which the historic spa town is renowned. The celebrated literary town of Hay-on-Wye, home to the world-famous Hay Festival, is also within easy reach, approximately a 30-minute drive away across the scenic Radnorshire Hills. Surrounded by rolling countryside yet conveniently located for regional centres, the setting represents a superb rural location combining accessibility, heritage and outstanding natural beauty.
