Situation And Description
Bailey Water lies in a peaceful countryside position near the villages of Rhayader and Crossgates, with the amenities of Llandrindod Wells just a short drive away. Set beside a gently flowing stream and enjoying views over open farmland, the property offers a quiet and picturesque setting while still benefitting from excellent access via the A44.
Crossgates (approx. 3 miles) provides everyday essentials including a shop, café, post office, garage, primary school, and village hall. Rhayader (approx. 8 miles) offers a wider selection of shops, eateries, medical services, and access to the stunning Elan Valley. Llandrindod Wells (approx. 6 miles) is the county town of Powys, with a train station, secondary school (Ysgol Calon Cymru), hospital, supermarkets, and vibrant community life.
The A44 provides a direct route to the coastal town of Aberystwyth (approx. 30 miles) and back towards Hereford (approx. 40 miles), making this an ideal base for access across Mid-Wales and into England.
The Property
Bailey Water comprises a beautifully converted 150 year-old approx former stable and ancillary buildings, full of character and set around a gravelled yard with veranda and decking beside the stream. The accommodation offers light and flexible living space, with thoughtfully designed rooms, exposed beams, and countryside views. The internal layout includes a well-equipped utility room (currently with specialist dog washing facilities available if required), a bright and spacious kitchen with stable door and stream and countryside views, and a characterful sitting room with wood-burning stove.
The property offers a comfortable layout of three bedrooms and includes a recently fitted shower room (at half landing) and cleverly designed guest WC with integrated wash basin to first floor level. The master bedroom enjoys dual aspect windows and lovely views, with a dressing room or third bedroom alongside, both enjoying outlooks to the front elevation.
Services And Outside
The property benefits from:
- Private stream-fed water supply (shared system with local properties)
- Septic tank located adjacent to the stables
- New bunded oil storage tank and annual boiler servicing
- Fibre broadband, good mobile reception both in the house and paddock
- Calor gas bottle-fed cooker
There is off-road parking for up to three vehicles—two to the rear of the house and one beside the stables.
Buildings And Land
To the side of the yard are three former stables, now used as useful storage spaces but with scope for other uses (subject to any consents). A short distance away, down a quiet single-track lane, lies an off-lying paddock of approximately three-quarters of an acre. This is not directly connected to the main residence but offers natural water and is well suited for ponies, poultry, or a dog exercise field. The setting is peaceful and practical, with good access and natural shelter.
