Description
Renovated to an exceptionally high standard, this impressive home immediately exudes character,
charm and presence. Enjoying a tranquil position surrounded by natural beauty, the property
benefits from far-reaching views, ample parking and generous outdoor space.
Steeped in period features, the accommodation seamlessly blends timeless elegance with
practical family living. The reception rooms are rich in character, with feature oak flooring and
wood-burning stoves creating warmth and attractive focal points. At the heart of the home is a
spacious kitchen/dining/family room with underfloor heating, complemented by a central kitchen
island and bi-folding doors that enhance the connection between the interior and the surrounding
grounds.
The first floor offers four spacious double bedrooms, all with oak flooring, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities. An impressive family bathroom and a versatile fifth bedroom, currently arranged as a walk-in dressing room but equally suited to a home office or single bedroom, complete the first-floor accommodation.
The second floor provides a private and spacious principal bedroom retreat, with oak flooring and
windows framing beautiful views towards the surrounding mountains.
Externally, the well-maintained grounds extend to approximately one acre, featuring generous
lawns, mature trees and established planting, all contributing to a wonderful sense of privacy and
tranquillity. A garage at the end of the driveway and a substantial outbuilding to the rear of the
property, currently used for dry storage, provide valuable additional space.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Taff Trail is accessible directly from the rear gate, offering beautiful
walking and cycling routes, including a challenging six-mile hike to the summit of Pen y Fan
without crossing a road. Pontsticill Reservoir lies at the end of the drive and is home to a sailing
club, whilst Parkwood Outdoors Dolygaer offers a range of outdoor activities. The occasional
distant sound of steam trains travelling along the Brecon Mountain Railway on the opposite side of the valley adds a nostalgic charm to this unique setting.
Despite the property's secluded setting, Merthyr Tydfil is just five miles to the south, with the
charming market towns of Brecon and Crickhowell a short drive away. Convenient access to the
A470 and A40 provides excellent connections to Cardiff and Swansea, both approximately an hour
away by car.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence in an enviable rural setting.
