Set in a secluded position at the foot of the Black Mountains, Llyndu is a beautifully converted country home set within approximately 0.75 acres, offering a rare combination of privacy, connection and everyday practicality, with a brook and waterfall forming part of its immediate setting. It is a place to step away from the pace of modern life, while remaining fully connected to it, with Abergavenny train station approximately 13 miles away (around 20–25 minutes by car), providing direct connections to London in around two hours.

Approached via a private track serving only the property, the setting offers a high degree of privacy, with no passing traffic and a strong sense of seclusion from the moment of arrival.

This is a home well suited to those seeking a country lifestyle without compromise. Whether as a full-time residence or a retreat from the city, it offers the space to work remotely, entertain with ease, and enjoy immediate access to open countryside. Broadband speeds of approximately 21 Mbps provide reliable connectivity for day-to-day home working, allowing a balance between rural living and modern demands.

Inside, the house blends traditional craftsmanship with modern living. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and engineered oak flooring create a warm and cohesive interior, and the property has been thoughtfully maintained and improved over time.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen and dining space – a sociable, light-filled room designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Fitted with oak worktops and integrated appliances, the kitchen is both practical and well considered. A large feature window frames views of the waterfall and brook beyond, creating a constantly changing natural backdrop. This ever-changing outlook, with otters, ducks and ducklings, and heron among the wildlife spotted here, reinforces the home’s close connection to its surroundings. Below, a natural plunge pool offers the opportunity for open water swimming.

The kitchen flows into the main living room, where a wood-burning stove provides a welcoming focal point. French doors open onto the gardens, allowing for an easy connection between inside and outside spaces in warmer months. A separate snug offers a quieter retreat, ideal as a reading room, home office or additional living space.

Accommodation is arranged across split levels, offering a versatile layout suited to both family life and guests. A ground floor bedroom with en-suite provides the option for single-level living, with further bedrooms and bathrooms positioned across the upper and lower floors.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the property and reflect the same balance of enjoyment and practicality. A well-established orchard and productive growing areas include apples, plums, grapes and raspberries, alongside vegetable beds and a herb garden. Several seating areas are positioned to make the most of the views and changing light, while the brook and waterfall create a strong sense of place.

A garage with power provides useful storage or workshop space and offers potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The property also benefits from access and parking for multiple vehicles.

The property has also been enhanced with features that support efficient modern living. Roof-mounted solar panels connect to a battery storage system, allowing renewable energy to be stored and used effectively, complemented by infrared heating, a borehole water supply and private drainage. Together, these elements support a more self-sufficient, lower-impact way of living.

Longtown offers a selection of everyday amenities including a village shop, pub and primary school, with additional primary schooling available in nearby Michaelchurch Escley. Fairfield High School, rated Outstanding, serves the wider area, while the nearby market town of Abergavenny provides a broader range of shops, restaurants and services. Hay-on-Wye, approximately 11 miles away, is home to the internationally renowned Hay Festival and contributes to the area’s strong cultural appeal.

A home that offers a slower pace of life, shaped by its landscape and defined by water, light and changing seasons, while remaining connected to the wider world.
