Llysyfran, Clarbeston Road, SA63

Ivy Court offers a buyer the opportunity to purchase a beautiful character home, with an established holiday letting business of four self-contained cottages. The complex of properties enjoys a superb position, directly adjacent, and with direct access to, the recently redeveloped Llys-y-Fran Reservoir. The main home offers accommodation extending to six bedrooms over two floors, with the four cottages offering between two and three bedrooms each. The properties are packed with character while having the advantage of not being listed, should a purchaser wish to develop or convert. The combination of this superb position with the complete lifestyle package, this collection of properties offers is hard to beat.

Entering the main home from the formal front entrance, you arrive in a central hall. To the side, double doors lead into a large reception room, which has French windows out to the side. The first of two staircases in the property leads up to the first floor, with the door to the recently tanked and converted basement found below them. The hall continues into the main family room at the centre of the property. This is the oldest part of the home and offers enough space for a large dining table and a separate seating area. This room has a beautiful inglenook hearth at the far end, with the second staircase to the first floor beside it. There is also a door out to the side porch, along with an archway through to the kitchen. The kitchen offers a great space for a chef and leads round to a conservatory and storage/utility room beyond. Another door from the family room leads into a beautifully wood-panelled formal sitting room, which is a charming space. From here, you access a short hallway which leads to a useful home office and the ground floor shower room. Proceeding up to the first floor from the entrance hall, you arrive on a landing which gives access to four bedrooms and the family bathroom. One of these bedrooms leads through to the second landing on this level, which is also accessed from the staircase off the family room. From this landing, there is access to the two final bedrooms in the home, along with a bathroom which is currently under development.

The sale also includes Shippen, Carthouse, Stable and Granary cottages. These cottages are found across the courtyard and comprise one row of converted barns, with Carthouse Cottage being detached from the others. The cottages each offer either two or three bedrooms and have been successfully let for several years. This sale is due to retirement, with huge scope to develop this business further for a new purchaser.

Externally, the properties all enjoy their own garden areas, with ample parking on the large gravel driveway. There is also a large communal garden to the rear of the cottages, which has been equipped with numerous outdoor activities for the cottages. There is also a detached games room, with a jungle gym and climbing wall beside it. In addition, there is a pool building, which is another wonderful feature for guests and owners to enjoy. The heated pool includes two changing rooms and has doors that open out to the gardens.

The complex of properties has its own access into Llys-y-Fran Reservoir, which has a popular café and was the subject of a multi-million-pound redevelopment. The land surrounding the reservoir is covered with walking paths, cycle routes and angling spots, making it a fabulous resource to enjoy.

These facilities are a huge boost to the cottages, offering a wide range of activities for guests, along with bookings from those who want to enjoy the reservoir. For both the full-time owner-occupier and as a selling point for holiday letting, the reservoir makes for a fabulous neighbour.

For those looking to purchase a superb family home, with huge scope for development, alongside a lifestyle business which also offers great potential for growth, Ivy Court is a remarkable opportunity not to be missed.
