Description

Cwm Oergwm is a beautifully situated country property nestling into the hillside on the slopes of the Brecon Beacons Mountain Range, just five minutes from the well-known and popular village of Llanfrynach. This wonderful former farmstead provides a great lifestyle opportunity for those seeking remote living, yet the convenience of nearby Brecon just fifteen minutes away. The original character farmhouse has been significantly extended to create spacious accommodation incorporating both modern and traditional features. The dwelling is complimented with a traditional courtyard setting with two stone barns forming an enclosed garden. The one barn is great for storage whilst the other is ideal for a mixture of storage with its first floor offering a great home working space currently used as a studio but equally adaptable for guest accommodation or office etc.
The gardens are a particular feature having a mixture of formal vegetable gardens, lawns and well stocked beds (truncated)

Location

Cwm Oergwm is situated at the end of a private track/Bridleway (over which a right of way is granted) tucked away on the side of the beautiful Breconshire hillside.

The village of Llanfrynach lies just 3 miles away whilst Brecon a further 4 miles offers a comprehensive choice of both shopping and leisure facilities in the form of supermarkets, convenience stores, a leisure centre complex, theatre, cinema etc.
The area around the property is known for its beautiful scenery; near Llanfrynach the Monmouth to Brecon canal and the river Usk, and just a short distance behind the homestead the open space of Buckland Common (on which the property enjoys hil grazing rights) and the Brecon Beacons Mountain Range.
