Llanddewi is an historic small village located in the Ithon Valley with a Church and community centre. Dolwen is built on a slightly elevated individual plot surrounded by farmland, with a Westerly aspect and the principle rooms have superb views across the Ithon Valley to the Cambrian Mountains. The house is set well back from the A483 road and has excellent privacy, as the nearest neighbour is roughly 100 yards away and there is a path to the village. The village of Crossgates (3 miles) has a primary school, and petrol Service Station (with a convenience store, sub-Post Office and café), and Penybont Railway Station (Shrewsbury to Swansea line) is a further 1⁄2-mile. The County Town of Llandrindod Wells is just under 6 miles and has a Tesco Superstore, Aldi Supermarket, Secondary School, Hospital and varied employment opportunities. Excellent local leisure amenities (within a 13 mile radius) include three sports centres, two 18-hole golf courses, indoor and outdoor bowls (International quality), thriving U3A, Theatre, Cinema, river and lake fishing. The area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and tranquility and the stunning Elan Valley Dams, known as the Welsh Lake District is 14 miles. The market towns of Rhayader, Builth Wells, Knighton, Kington and Newtown are approximately 11,13,15 and 23 miles distant with regular bus services. The City of Hereford and the coastal resort and University Town of Aberystwyth are both about an hours drive. In the 2015 Rightmove survey LD1 (Llandrindod Wells postal area) was declared “the friendliest place to move to in the UK” and in their surveys of 2017,2019,2020,2021 and 2025 it was declared “The Happiest Town in Wales”.
