Abbeycwmhir, Llandrindod Wells, Powys

Glan Yr Afon is a thoroughly charming and attractive period house, occupying a dramatic and beautiful setting. Ideal for those seeking secluded and private countryside living, yet still within easy reach of local amenities. The property offers principal accommodation and two luxury cabins, currently used as holiday lets and family overflow accommodation.

The house itself has delightful whitewashed elevations outside, while inside there are three bedrooms and comfortable, beautifully presented living space, combining splendid character features with elegant, understated modern fittings. The ground floor has a beautifully presented sitting room in which to relax and unwind, with its rustic wooden flooring, fireplace fitted with a log burner and dual aspect welcoming plenty of natural light and framing those magnificent countryside views. The ground floor also has an open-plan kitchen and dining area with historic flagstone flooring and exposed stone walls, as well as a Rayburn range, recessed into the fireplace.

Upstairs there are three beautifully presented double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with its vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams, and its windows to the front and rear offering a splendid vantage point for views across the verdant surrounding hills. The second bedroom benefits from extensive built-in storage, while the third bedroom is also a double with extensive storage provided by the built in wardrobes. Additionally, the first floor has a family bathroom with rustic farmhouse styling, and fitted with a bathtub with a rainfall shower overhead.

The two stunning holiday cabins offer guests a delightful outlook across the woodland, valleys and hillsides beyond. They each include open-plan kitchens and sitting areas with vaulted ceilings, underfloor heating, Bosch appliances and log burners, as well as a shower room and two double bedrooms, one of which is on a mezzanine level.

The house and cabins sit on a two and a half acre plot, along a private singletrack lane approximately a third of a mile from the nearest road. The land includes rolling fields and meadows and a babbling stream, and offers the potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents, without disrupting the peace and tranquillity of the current property and cabins.

There is plenty of parking space in front of the house, and further designated parking for the cabins. Each cabin has its own covered deck area and a wood fired hot tub.
