A breathtaking countryside home with panoramic views, luxurious living and established income, set within about 11.5 acres of idyllic landscape.




Description

Set amidst the glorious Powys countryside, The Castle at Cefn Penthryn presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated country home that effortlessly blends contemporary living with breathtaking rural surroundings.

Enjoying an elevated, south-facing position, the property is flooded with natural light and commands far-reaching views from every principal room, creating a remarkable sense of space, tranquillity and connection to the landscape. The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, resulting in a beautifully presented home offering modern comforts, stylish interiors and an enviable lifestyle.

The main house has been thoughtfully redesigned to offer elegant yet practical accommodation. A welcoming entrance hall, complete with cloakroom, bespoke bench seating and useful under-stairs storage, leads to a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room, perfectly appointed for both family life and entertaining. A utility area provides additional convenience, while the inviting sitting room, centred around a wood-burning stove, offers a warm and relaxing retreat. A stunning sun room captures uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside, providing an idyllic setting to unwind throughout the seasons.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, with built-in wardrobes, a contemporary en suite shower room and direct access to a generous balcony. With electricity connected, this outdoor space is ideal for al fresco dining, outdoor cinema evenings or simply soaking in the remarkable views. Two further double bedrooms are equally well-proportioned, one enjoying striking vistas towards Kerry Ridge, and are served by a stylish family bathroom fitted with both bath and shower. The renovation of the house has been meticulous, with new central heating, complete rewiring, updated plumbing and pipework, as well as new windows installed throughout, all supported by FENSA certification, ensuring peace of mind for future owners.

The grounds have been beautifully landscaped to complement the house and enhance the overall lifestyle offering. A long, sweeping driveway provides an impressive approach, leading to a generous parking area and a charming summer house with verandah and WC, currently utilised as a home office. This flexible space lends itself to a variety of uses, whether for remote working, creative pursuits or leisure.

In addition to the main house, the property benefits from a superb ancillary lodge, offering an outstanding solution for multigenerational living or guest accommodation. The lodge is well-appointed with a spacious living area featuring a wood-burning stove, fitted units, and French doors opening onto a decking area. With oil central heating, a principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, it provides an integrated extension of the main residence.

Further enhancing the appeal is a charming holiday let pod called The Keep, discreetly positioned within a separate paddock with gated access, offering privacy and a true sense of escape. The pod is thoughtfully configured with a sitting room and kitchenette, underfloor heating in the living area, a double bedroom with en suite shower room and an outdoor hot tub, creating a highly desirable holiday retreat. Planning permission is in place for two additional pods, presenting significant potential for further income generation.

The wider grounds extend to approximately 11.53 acres and are a delightful blend of undulating meadow and productive pasture, interspersed with approximately one acre of enchanting bluebell woodland.
The land is predominantly fenced, with natural hedging encouraging wildlife while remaining stock-proof, making it ideal for a range of lifestyle or smallholding pursuits.

A steel portal shed, complete with mezzanine storage on both sides and connected water and electricity, offers excellent agricultural or storage facilities.

The formal gardens are equally appealing, with raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse supporting a sustainable lifestyle.

The Castle at Cefn Penthryn is a truly rare offering – a home that seamlessly combines modern luxury, income potential and versatile living arrangements, all set within an unspoilt and picturesque rural setting. Whether as a primary residence, a multigenerational haven or a lifestyle investment with established and future holiday letting income, this exceptional property delivers on every level.
