An enchanting historic country smallholding set within just under 8 acres of glorious Mid Wales countryside, enjoying breathtaking far-reaching views and an exceptional sense of peace and seclusion. Believed to date from Medieval times and noted in Houses and History in the March of Wales: Radnorshire 1400–1800, this characterful detached stone cottage offers the rare opportunity to embrace an idyllic rural lifestyle without compromising on modern comfort, having been thoughtfully and extensively improved by the current owners. The property now effortlessly combines its rich heritage - showcased through exposed stonework, part cruck beams, ceiling timbers and an impressive Inglenook fireplace with original bread oven - with a host of sympathetic contemporary enhancements including a bespoke fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, newly appointed family bathroom and shower room, full electrical rewire, upgraded insulation, replacement double glazing, well water filtration system, air source heat pump and solar panels with battery storage. Inside, the accommodation is both welcoming and versatile, centred around a superb reception room with woodburning stove and original bread oven, alongside a bespoke, high specification modern kitchen complete with Rayburn, dining room, utility and ground floor shower room. To the first floor are three attractive bedrooms and a beautifully refitted family bathroom from the Burlington range, many of which enjoy captivating views across the surrounding rolling countryside. Outside lies the true appeal of this wonderful lifestyle opportunity. The land extends to just under 8 acres in total, with approximately 6.5 acres of useful pasture divided into practical enclosures, perfect for grazing livestock, keeping horses or simply enjoying a more self-sufficient way of life. Established gardens and productive growing spaces include a generous vegetable garden, ideal for those looking to embrace homegrown living. A substantial American barn with four loose boxes and two goat pens, together with a separate hay store and traditional stone outbuilding, provide excellent facilities for equestrian use, smallholding ventures or hobby farming. There are also dog kennels and a dog run located within the garden, relatively close to the house, offering a practical setup for those with working or multiple dogs, all set against a spectacular rural backdrop. Occupying a truly special setting with panoramic views towards Llandrindod Wells and the surrounding Mid Wales hills, this delightful home offers an increasingly rare chance to step away from the pace of modern life and into a timeless countryside retreat. Please note: A public footpath follows the roadway leading to the property and continues alongside the upper field. The driveway to the property is shared with the neighbouring farm. Enjoying an elevated setting high in the hills above the ever-popular village of Llanyre, the property commands magnificent panoramic views across the beautiful Ithon Valley and surrounding Mid Wales countryside. Llanyre offers a delightful blend of rural charm, rich heritage and unspoilt natural surroundings, whilst remaining conveniently positioned between the market towns of Llandrindod Wells and Newbridge-on-Wye.

It’s known for its striking Victorian and Edwardian architecture, the National Cycle Museum, The Albert Hall Theatre, and scenic man-made lake. The town hosts the popular Victorian Festival, when the community celebrates its heritage with costumes and festivities. Recreational opportunities include a rugby and football club, international-standard bowling greens, a modern leisure centre, and a highly regarded golf course. Excellent rail and bus links serve the area, making it accessible yet wonderfully tranquil. The region is a haven for nature lovers, lying within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and close to the stunning Elan Valley near Rhayader.
