A well-presented and deceptively spacious detached stone cottage, centrally positioned within the heart of Builth Wells and offered to the market with no onward chain.
Arranged over three floors, this charming period home blends character features with a tasteful modern presentation and is ready for immediate occupation. Despite its central location, the property enjoys a notable degree of privacy, set back on a gated driveway (gates currently removed) with a courtyard providing off-road parking and outdoor seating, together with an additional enclosed paved area to the side. All town amenities are within a short and level walk.
Internally, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and larger than expected, extending to approximately 104 m². The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance porch with exposed timbers, leading to two well-proportioned reception rooms. The principal living room features a stone fireplace and access to the lower ground floor, while the adjoining dining room showcases exposed stonework and original detailing, creating an ideal space for entertaining. The kitchen is well appointed with ample storage and preparation space, complemented by a modern family bathroom.
To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, both retaining period fireplaces, with the rear bedroom enjoying distant views across the surrounding countryside.
A particular feature of the property is the lower ground floor, currently providing a substantial cellar and washroom. This versatile space offers excellent potential for use as a home office, hobby room, studio or additional storage, subject to individual requirements.
Externally, the courtyard provides off-road parking for approximately two vehicles – a rare and valuable asset for a town-centre property – while the enclosed paved areas offer low-maintenance outdoor space perfect for al fresco dining or entertaining. A particularly characterful feature is the original bread oven set into the external wall of the porch, adding period charm and historic interest. Completing the exterior is a 4.00m x 2.77m timber-built outbuilding, fitted with light and power, offering versatile storage with potential for a studio, workshop, or home office.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, space and convenience this attractive stone cottage has to offer.
Builth Wells is a thriving market town with a rich history and a welcoming community. It offers an excellent range of amenities including Primary and Secondary Schools, a cinema, leisure centre, and a variety of sporting clubs such as cricket, rugby, football, and golf, making it ideal for families and active lifestyles. The town is best known as the home of the Royal Welsh Show, the largest agricultural show in Europe. Held every July, this internationally renowned event celebrates farming, food, and rural life, bringing thousands of visitors to the town and creating a lively, festive atmosphere. Builth Wells benefits from strong transport links. It is on a bus route between Cardiff and North Wales and is served by Builth Road Railway Station on the scenic Heart of Wales Line, providing access to Swansea, Shrewsbury, and beyond. Set within the picturesque Wye Valley, an Area of Natural Beauty, Builth Wells is a paradise for walkers and nature lovers. Nearby, the dramatic landscapes of the Elan Valley at Rhayader offer reservoirs, dams, and miles of breathtaking scenery. The Red Kite Feeding Centre at Gigrin Farm also provides the unforgettable sight of these rare and magnificent birds gathering in large numbers every day. Historically, Builth Wells has deep roots. Its name derives from “Buallt,” meaning “cow pasture,” with “Wells” later added to reflect its popularity as a Victorian spa town. The remains of Builth Castle, built under Edward I in the 13th century, still overlook the town, a reminder of its medieval importance. Today, Builth Wells balances its rich past with a vibrant present, offering both charm and convenience at the heart of Mid-Wales.
