Handsome and impressive farmhouse enjoying a unique setting.
Description
Bwlchtrebanau Farmhouse is a handsome and impressive property. Over the years it has been sympathetically renovated, refurbished and extended. It blends modern touches while retaining a wealth of character features including two large inglenook fireplaces, each with bread oven and exposed timber work. The farmhouse was once part of the farm and in recent years the previous owner divided the property. The farmhouse is set at the head of the old courtyard with three other properties (converted barns) sharing the main access drive.
Accommodation Ground Floor
From the large paved courtyard the front stable door leads into a reception hall with a decorative tiled floor. A stylish bathroom suite can be found off the hall with the same decorative tiled floor and wood panelling. Off to the left of the hall is a large sitting room with beamed ceiling, stylish wooden flooring with underfloor heating and a large inglenook fireplace with recessed lighting and a wood burner, flanked by a bread oven. A stable door leads off to the rear garden. A useful cloakroom can be found off the sitting room.
Off to the right of the hall is the living room or cathedral room with its breath-taking vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers. This room again features a decorative tiled floor, floor-to-ceiling three tier stone inglenook fireplace with large capacity Jotul wood-burner and old bread oven to the side. This room is open plan to the light-filled conservatory-kitchen-dining room.
The attractive kitchen has fitted units, slate worktops, a double oven, electric hob and an oil Dunsley range cooker. Above the kitchen and dining area are productive indoor grapevines with roots planted outdoors. The grapevine also provides a leafy shade over the ceiling in the summer months. Double French doors open onto the front courtyard.
Off the kitchen is a pantry and store room. A further door leads through to bedroom two and three and a shower room. This suite of rooms has its own separate entrance to the front courtyard. These bedrooms are currently being used as a holiday letting suite with Airbnb but could obviously be used as part of the house. There is also potential to adapt this suite and two bedrooms into a self-contained annexe by incorporating a kitchen area etc (stp – subject to planning).
Moving back to the cathedral living room, a door leads off to the conservatory/ sun room. This is a west-facing room and overlooks the rear garden and pond. It has a slate floor and built-in oak seating. A French door leads out into the garden.
First Floor
Stairs rise up from the entrance hall to the first floor accommodation that currently provides a stunning principal bedroom suite with a vaulted ceiling with exposed oak A-frame, roof timbers and a gable end window to admire the views. There is a natural stone work chimney breast with inset Jotul wood burner, recessed cupboards and a roll-top free standing bath. Off the bedroom is a stylish WC. On the opposite side of the first floor is a generous dressing room with built-in cupboards and another en suite shower room. This room was a bedroom and could obviously be used in this way again.
Externally
The property is approached down a long brick paved drive with a mass of daffodil plants either side in the spring, and through a row of young copper beech trees. One is immediately taken in by the far reaching views over the surrounding countryside heading towards the western edge of the famous Brecon Beacons National Park.
The farmhouse benefits from extensive grounds and includes a smart brick paved courtyard to the front of the house with ample parking area for vehicles. To the rear is a pretty landscaped garden that includes two ornamental ponds. Beyond the garden is a superb and substantial orangery (17.4m x 8.4m) that includes impressive established trees including orange, olive and apricot, cacti and about 20 foot high palms. Stairs lead up to a striking gantry area that allows you to sit and relax while admiring the landscape views.
Beyond the orangery is large area of unspoilt land that is a perfect natural habitat and has potential to incorporate nature trails and have further seating areas to enjoy the views. In all, the property extends to about 1.89 acres (stms).
Location
Bwlchtrebanau Farmhouse is located in the stunning and historical county of Carmarthenshire about a mile away from the hamlet of Porthyrhyd.
The well-known market town of Llandovery is located about four miles to the south-east where there is a good choice of local shops including a supermarket, convenience stores, public and private schools and a train station providing rail access along the Mid Wales line to Swansea, Builth Wells and Shrewsbury.
The A40 road network provides quick access to the nearby towns of Llandeilo (about 14 miles), Brecon (about 25 miles), and Carmarthen (about 29 miles) all offering a good range of facilities. The M4 at junction 49 is about 26 miles taking you onto south Wales and beyond.

Acreage: 1.89 Acres
