Felindre, Llanidloes, SY18

Swn Yr Afon is an exceptional home, and the more you see, the more you appreciate just how much has gone into making it so. The current owners have approached it with remarkable care, creating a beautifully finished five-bedroom home where generous proportions, stylish interiors and an extensive smart-home specification come together to make everyday life feel rather special. It is ready to move straight into and enjoy, with the work already done to a standard that goes far beyond decoration. Add private south-facing gardens, glorious countryside views and a peaceful setting in Felindre, approximately a mile from Llanidloes, and there is a great deal to fall in love with.

The accommodation is arranged across two floors, with generous living spaces and five double bedrooms. It is a wonderful house for family life and entertaining, with sociable rooms where everyone can come together and plenty of space to enjoy your own interests. The current owners have made full use of this, setting up a dedicated gym and a spacious home office.

The kitchen and dining room is a bright, welcoming space with room to cook, eat and spend time together. Pale fitted cabinetry is complemented by granite worktops, with a curved peninsula providing additional preparation space and somewhere to perch while chatting to whoever is cooking. Windows on two sides bring in plenty of natural light, while the dining area keeps family meals and evenings with friends very much part of the room. Philips Hue lighting above and beneath the cabinetry allows you to adjust the colour and brightness, and ceiling-mounted Bose speakers bring music into the kitchen. The adjoining utility room has fitted cupboards, a sink, space for laundry appliances and an external door. A separate cloakroom with WC sits just off it.

The living room is a fabulous space, with generous proportions allowing for a comfortable sofa arrangement alongside a separate area for reading or listening to music. Deep green walls, an acoustic timber-panelled feature wall and a log-burning stove give it warmth and character, while floor-to-ceiling garden-facing glazing brings light into the room and makes the established gardens a constant part of the outlook. Considerable thought has gone into the audio provision too. Integrated Monitor Audio ceiling speakers, concealed QED Silver speaker cabling and dedicated surround-sound connection points provide the foundations for a premium home-cinema installation.

Adjoining the living room, the sun room provides another lovely place to sit overlooking the gardens, with doors opening directly outside. Together, these rooms give the house a lovely flow for entertaining, particularly in summer when guests can move between the house and garden. Bespoke motorised honeycomb thermal blinds are fitted in the living room, sun room and master bedroom, with control by app, remote or a compatible voice assistant.

Three double bedrooms occupy the ground floor, with built-in wardrobes providing useful storage. Two are currently used as bedrooms, while the third is set up as a home gym. All are comfortably proportioned, giving the next owners plenty of choice over how they use them.The family bathroom is beautifully finished, with a Japanese-style deep soaking tub, separate shower and vanity basin. Tiled steps lead up to the bath, a distinctive feature and an inviting place for a long soak. A separate WC sits alongside.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is something special. A large feature window follows the roofline and frames an expansive view across the surrounding countryside, with an armchair positioned to make the most of it. Softly sloping ceilings and fitted wardrobes complete the bedroom, while the adjoining en-suite is an impressively generous room in its own right. A large walk-in shower, extensive vanity storage and programmable underfloor heating give it the comfort and finish to match. The second upstairs bedroom is currently arranged as a home office, with ample space for two separate workstations and a roof window bringing in natural light. Its position close to the master bedroom would also make it a lovely nursery.

The smart-home specification forms a significant part of the investment made by the current owners. A Schneider Wiser heating and hot-water system provides individually controlled heating zones and smart radiator valves, allowing temperatures to be managed around daily routines. Philips Hue lighting in selected rooms offers adjustable colour, brightness and lighting scenes, while the dedicated Bose multi-room audio system complements the living room’s separate audio installation. Relevant systems can be operated by smartphone and compatible voice controls, with temperature-responsive blind automation where configured. The equipment and wiring have been integrated with care, maintaining the clean finish of the rooms.

Outside, the mature south-facing gardens are a real pleasure. Lawns extend around the house, framed by established hedging, trees and beautifully shaped shrubs, with open countryside beyond. The planting brings privacy and colour, while the different outlooks give you plenty to appreciate as you move around the garden. A paved patio provides space for outdoor dining, with scope to extend it if desired. A timber arbour and decorative water feature add further interest, and the combination of lawns and established planting makes the gardens relatively straightforward to maintain. There is space for children to play and friends to gather, as well as quieter spots to sit and enjoy the surroundings. A little gate opens from the garden onto the lane, offering a handy alternative way out when taking the dog for a walk. The double garage provides space for vehicles, storage or workshop use, with private driveway parking for approximately four additional cars. Two EV charging points are already installed, and a separate external storage building houses logs and garden equipment. A complete new roof was installed in August 2025, adding another substantial improvement to the work undertaken here.

Swn Yr Afon brings together space, quality and a setting that is a pleasure to come home to. The current owners have invested in the things you notice immediately and those you appreciate through living here, creating a home that is ready to be enjoyed from the outset. Whether bringing up a family, welcoming friends for the weekend or making more time for yourselves, there is room here to do it beautifully.
