Set in one of the most desirable locations in Builth Wells, Tyrafon enjoys an enviable position on the western edge of the town, adjoining the renowned Builth Wells Golf Club - a true golfer’s paradise. With the fairways virtually on the doorstep and the scenic River Wye just moments away (and we are advised the property has never flooded), the property offers a rare combination of tranquil surroundings and exceptional convenience. The town centre of Builth Wells is easily accessible on foot or by a short drive, providing excellent access to local amenities, cafés, and services. Occupying generous and private grounds, Tyrafon offers a real sense of seclusion while remaining firmly connected to its surroundings. The property presents a superb opportunity for purchasers seeking space, flexibility, and a premium location in one of Mid Wales’ most sought-after settings. The main residence provides spacious and adaptable accommodation, well suited to family living or entertaining, currently arranged with three well-proportioned bedrooms and multiple reception rooms. Approached via Golf Links Road, the property is accessed by a tarmac driveway providing ample parking. A welcoming entrance hallway leads through to the principal living spaces. The main sitting room is a particularly attractive room, featuring a large bay window overlooking the front garden and a characterful stone fireplace. Double doors open into a side porch, flowing naturally into the dining area. The kitchen/breakfast room is bright and generously sized, offering ample space for family dining and views towards the Royal Welsh Showground. Adjoining the kitchen is a second reception room, added in the late 1990s, with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden - ideal for modern living. The ground floor further benefits from two double bedrooms, one positioned to the front with a bay window and garden views, and another to the rear overlooking the grounds. A well-appointed family bathroom completes this level, fitted with both a bath and separate shower. To the first floor is a further impressive double bedroom enjoying elevated views across the rear garden, neighbouring properties, and surrounding countryside. This room benefits from fitted wardrobes and access to a large loft storage area, while a modern shower room serves the upper floor. A particular highlight of the property is the detached annexe, Rose Cottage, converted from the original garage approximately a decade ago. Fully self-contained, it comprises its own reception room, kitchen, bathroom, and a generous double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe. This highly versatile space is ideal for guest accommodation, multigenerational living, home working, or potential income generation. Externally, Tyrafon is surrounded by extensive gardens. The front garden features level lawns and a charming ornamental pond framed by a timber pergola - an ideal space for outdoor relaxation. To the rear, the garden offers a mix of decking, paved seating areas, raised beds, and useful outbuildings, creating excellent areas for entertaining or enjoying the peaceful setting. The property has benefited from a range of important improvements in recent years, including the replacement of the dormer structures to the first-floor rooms in 2025, renewal of the vast majority of the main roof, a new shower and toilet cistern in the ground-floor bathroom, renewal of the flat roof over the connecting walkway between the house and annexe in 2024, a new boiler installed in the annexe in late 2025, and a recently replaced shower within the annexe bathroom - together providing reassurance and peace of mind for incoming purchasers. Located within the highly regarded Golf Links Road area, Tyrafon combines privacy, space, and an outstanding position beside one of the region’s most prestigious golf courses. With properties in this location rarely available and offering such flexibility, in-person viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate all that this exceptional home has to offer. Set on the sought-after western edge of Builth Wells, this property enjoys a rare combination of tranquillity and convenience, positioned close to the town centre and just moments from the renowned 18-hole Builth Wells Golf Club. Surrounded by open green space yet within easy walking or driving distance of local amenities, the location offers an enviable lifestyle in one of the area’s most desirable residential settings. Builth Wells is a historic market town with roots stretching back to medieval times, when its castle guarded an important crossing of the River Wye. Today, the town blends historic character with a thriving modern community, offering excellent schools, leisure facilities, a cinema, independent shops, cafés, and a wide range of active sporting and social clubs. Just across the river in Llanelwedd lies the Royal Welsh Showground, home to the world-renowned Royal Welsh Show, the largest agricultural event in Europe and a cornerstone of Welsh rural life. Set within the picturesque Wye Valley and within easy reach of the dramatic landscapes of the Elan Valley near Rhayader, the area is celebrated for its outstanding natural beauty and outdoor pursuits. Walkers and cyclists are particularly well served, while nearby Gigrin Farm provides the unforgettable sight of daily Red Kite feeding. With excellent transport links via the Heart of Wales railway line and direct bus routes between Cardiff and North Wales, Builth Wells offers an exceptional balance of heritage, community, and countryside living.
