It was the unique character, privacy and breathtaking Mountain View's that first drew us to the property. Say the owners of this distinctive 5-bedroom residence in the Brecon Beacons national park. A hidden gem on a quiet lane surrounded by undulating countryside, the house offered everything we were looking for and more location, flexibility and potential to make it our own.
The original part of the property was an Inn and became a cottage in the 19th century as part of the temperance movement by Lady Llanover. Many features have been retained such as the stone staircase to the first floor, the original residence has been
sympathetically extended over the years to provide a substantial 5 bedroom family home which also includes a separate self contained one bedroom dowelling. The owners explain It's ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or even a work-from-home set up. The property just keeps giving, with substantial outbuildings including a three horse stable block, (currently being used as a gym and office) a barn, a workshop, two large storage structures and two log stores.
