Summary

Sitting in an area of outstanding natural beauty, surrounded by a patchwork of hedgerows, fields and farmland, is this substantial six bedroomed detached country residence. Occupying gardens and grounds of about 1.28 acres to include a range of outbuildings and a small stone barn, this comfortable and generously proportioned family home is a perfect country retreat for those wishing to be away from it all, yet it is just 3 miles from the popular village of Llangors which is served by a primary school, village shop and two pubs. Llangors is as a hub for local public transport and school bus network serving the larger market towns. Located in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog - Brecon Beacons ~ National Park, flanked by Pen y Fan and the Black Mountains, the area is fêted by outdoor sports and nature enthusiasts drawn by the majestic scenery and the vast array of activities the greater area has to offer.

This extended home is entered through a rose-clad porch which opens into a large open-plan reception room with central staircase and a fireplace hosting a wood stove. This great size family / living space leads into a cosy triple aspect sitting room which also features a fireplace with twin casement windows providing an outlook over the garden. The undoubted hub of this family home is the over 30’ triple aspect contemporary kitchen / diner designed with cooking, entertaining and family activities in mind. Flooded with natural light, this spacious room has a vaulted ceiling and easy access to the garden via double doors in the dining room. The laundry room, with sink, also offers access to the garden – perfect when coming in from gardening or a muddy country walk.

Upstairs, there is a flexible layout with six bedrooms being served by two bath / shower rooms, in addition to the cloakroom on the ground floor. The configuration of the first-floor landing gives an easy guest bedroom arrangement if required; and if two bathrooms aren’t enough, the huge principal bedroom lends itself to the incorporation of an ensuite if desired. An open staircase on the landing leads up to two open plan loft rooms which, whilst there is no building control sign-off for this, does provide useful extra space for hobbies or home working.

Outside, the gardens and grounds include an area to the front of the house on the opposite side of the village road which was previously a vegetable garden. There is plenty of off-road parking and a gate from this parking area opens into a large lawn which provides access to the outbuildings and a pony paddock at the rear.
