A wonderful 6 bed 500 yr old house in a quiet friendly village with pub in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Large rooms and exposed beams throughout, and a quiet terraced garden.

Description

The house has six good size bedrooms with three bathrooms and a cloakroom, with a 28 ft kitchen and two large reception rooms. Old exposed beams with many character features throughout. www.breconbeaconshouse.co.uk

Conveniently set within the historic village of Defynnog, the house is not overlooked and is very quiet. The garden is stepped behind the house with three separate levels that include a small lawn, patio and fruit tree area. The house benefits from mains water and drainage, and has oil fired central heating, two multi-fuel stoves and LPG bottled gas for the cooker. TV is currently via freesat satellite, with reasonable broadband speeds & superfast broadband expected in the area very soon.

The ancient village of Defynnog has The Tanners Arms CAMRA awarded pub and tea rooms plus a second pub due to reopen this year with new owners, and is a mile away from Sennybridge with two garages, village shops and post office, 4 further pubs plus primary school and doctor’s surgery. The market town of Brecon is 10 miles away with a 15 minute drive, and the house is situated set back from the A4067 quiet main road that links Swansea (1 hour away) to Sennybridge. The area is known for its wildlife & hill walking, whilst remaining largely a rural farming area. Defynnog also has The Defynnog Yew which is allegedly 5,000 years old.

Although this is splendid family house, or for a smaller family wishing home office space or artist studio, the house has good B&B or holiday let potential with two of the bedrooms being next to bathrooms. It would also make a fantastic large holiday house,as the garden could easily be made low maintenance.

Early viewing strongly recommended.
