3 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Llandovery, SA20 0FA £375,000

A second flight of stairs in the entrance hall/dining room leads up to a second double bedroom with the third bedroom, which could also make a perfect dressing room or home office, running off it and following through into an en-suite shower room.

Externally

On leaving the road, the track to the property passes through an ancient oak wood, which provides fuel for the fires and bluebells in season. From the woodland, the track emerges onto hill land, giving spectacular far-reaching views up and down the valley and across to the stone circles on the hillside opposite, the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains in the distance. A raised decked terrace to the side of Blaen Nant Melyn makes the most of these amazing views.

An enclosed garden to the rear of the house creates a defined private area. A walled garden to the front of the house offers a lovely country cottage welcome. A wooden outbuilding and covered store are positioned to the rear of the house and the integral cart store provides additional storage and another charming traditional feature retained from the original barn. There is a useful external electricity supply, and the cart store benefits from lighting and plumbing for a washing machine. The property extends in all to around 0.2 acres.

Local Information

The property itself now benefits from strong 4G signal. The upper Towy Valley is considered by some to be the most beautiful valley in Wales, where the three mountain ranges of the Cambrians, the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains meet. The valley has an abundance of ancient oaks, native flowers, rivers and wildlife, boasting a host of colours throughout the seasons. Roe deer wander past the house and birds such as swallows, skylarks, red kites and peregrines sweep through the skies. A breeding pair of hen harriers are often spotted, whilst red squirrels and pine martens have been introduced into the Continuous Cover Forestry.

The famous salmon fishing River Towy and River Cothi start in the area and border the land around the house. From the back gate there is access to the surrounding 600 acres of hillside for walking, photography and nature watching. The property sits on a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and in a Dark Skies area, and the Northern lights have been seen from the property.

Rhandirmwyn, the closest village to Blaen Nant Melyn, lies just outside the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park and is made up of picturesque traditional Welsh dwellings, two churches and two public houses, The Royal Oak Inn and the Towy Bridge Inn. Nearby Cilycwm also has a public house, whilst Llandovery has a post office and a train station which is on the scenic Heart of Wales railway line. With many local walks, hiking trails, nature reserves, biking tracks, climbing opportunities and other outdoor activities, the area has everything the Welsh countryside can offer on its doorstep.

The market town of Llandovery has a good range of local and independent shops, hotels, public houses, schools, a GP surgery and a cottage hospital. There are weekly markets and farmer's markets in the square and the late thirteenth century Llandovery Castle ruin overlooks the town.

Cynghordy train station is approximately 10.8 miles from the property with Aberporth and Swansea airports being around 30 miles away. Bus routes run from Llandovery to Carmarthen.
