Description

Beautifully positioned in the Upper Towy valley with no immediate neighbours is this stunning country house presented to a great standard which includes 5 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, 3 bathrooms, utility areas and a spacious kitchen/ breakfast room. The property is tastefully finished with character features which include two woodburning stoves in traditional recessed fireplaces.

Alongside the house is an 'L' shaped range of traditional stone barns currently used for storage and as a gym/ workshop. Adjacent is a paddock of about 1.4 acres currently utilised as an extended garden area and just a few hundred meters away about 10 acres of sloping land covered in regenerating woodland.

Location

There is no doubt that the most impressive feature of this property is its private hillside location from where there are fantastic views over the Upper Towy valley.

Just a few hundred metres away is the renowned Llyn Brianne reservoir which was constructed in the 1960’s. It is an impressive spectacle and offers great walking opportunities for those seeking an outdoor lifestyle. The surrounding area is mostly devoted to agriculture or forestry and the area is much favoured by bird watchers due to the nearby RSPB Reserve.

The village of Rhandirmwyn is about 3.5 miles and Llandovery about 11 miles where there is a good choice of local shops, a leisure centre, junior school and Llandovery College in the private sector.
