Location - Llanddew is a particularly appealing village set within the beautiful landscape of the old county of Breconshire, just two miles from the cathedral town of Brecon itself. Its origins are deeply rooted in the medieval history of the area, with the village having once been an important ecclesiastical centre and home to a medieval episcopal palace. The historic routes through Llanddew reflect its long-standing importance as a settlement and connection between the surrounding communities. Today, it retains a peaceful, close-knit village atmosphere, whilst enjoying the convenience of Brecon's excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and leisure facilities. The surrounding countryside provides exceptional opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits, with the dramatic Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains close at hand.

Accommodation - The principal entrance opens directly into the welcoming living room, a characterful space featuring attractive tiled flooring, contemporary wall panelling and a staircase rising to the upper floors. A deep bay window provides a wonderful outlook across the village square and brings an abundance of natural light into the room.
Alongside is the sitting room, featuring attractive timber flooring, a large fireplace with a fitted wood-burning stove and a further bay window overlooking the village.
From the living room, an inner hall provides access to the useful utility room and continues into the impressive modern extension, which has become the natural heart of the home. This superb space features a part-vaulted ceiling with exposed roof timbers, flagstone flooring with underfloor heating and wide bi-fold doors opening directly onto the rear garden and patio. A contemporary fitted kitchen is arranged beneath wooden worktops and incorporates a traditional Belfast sink, creating an appealing combination of modern convenience and timeless materials.
An inner hall beyond the kitchen provides access to a beautifully appointed bathroom, complete with roll-top bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC. From here, stairs rise to a further bedroom with exposed roof timbers, creating a particularly atmospheric room which would make an ideal principal bedroom, guest suite or private retreat.
The main staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where there are two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage cupboards. A family bathroom completes this level, fitted with a roll-top bath, wash hand basin and WC.
The staircase continues to the second floor, where two further bedrooms provide additional flexible accommodation, together with a further shower room, making the property exceptionally well suited to family living and the accommodation of guests.

Gardens - To the front of the property is a lawned garden, providing an attractive approach from the village square. To the rear, the gardens are thoughtfully arranged to provide a series of appealing outdoor spaces. A paved seating terrace and separate decked area offer excellent opportunities for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a natural stone wall leads up to a further lawned area. The property also benefits from a useful off-road parking area, a valuable amenity in such a central village setting.
