Property Description

Kitchen
Solid oak worktops and breakfast bar, with easy clean, high quality, soft close cabinets, creating a large cooking area for family life.
Double neff ovens (as used in the Great British Bake-off), double Belfast sink, semi-integrated dishwasher, plumbed American fridge-freezer, and 5-ring induction hob built to allow comfortable sitting and stirring, create the classic spacious farmhouse kitchen capable of cooking an extended family's festive feast.
All white goods are new, and highly ecological rated.
Utility

Utility room, plumbed washer, drier, & small utility basin, pulley-maid drying rack, utility cupboard, tool area and WC access. All separated by the kitchen to keep household tasks discreetly away from main living areas.
Combined dinning-living room

A spacious family area, with a working pizza oven fireplace. (Not a log burner. Built to contain heat for cooking and prevent heat-loss when not in use, although visually just as cosy.)
Both living areas feature wide double patio doors, opening onto stunning views of the valley.
Cinema/lounge

Cosy carpeted cinema lounge with specialist projector wall, allows for communal seating and socialising when not in use, but Lazer 4k cinematic projector with connection to all streaming services and audio for quick & easy viewing. Also cable connections to the office offer options for speakers and physical media e.g., DVDs, computer gaming, etc.
Bathrooms

Luxury design, with brass/copper plumbing, classical country basins and practical one-handed mixer taps. All plumbing allows for uninterrupted simultaneous use and windows can open up to the undisturbed beautiful views.
Master En-suite: Classic cabinet, beautiful Italian feature tiling and spacious double shower, with durable Spanish resin-timber style non-slip shower floor.
Shared Bathroom: Tiled floor, bath, and shower.
WC: Downstairs, discreetly positioned through the utility room.

Loft

Loft storage
The large easily accessible loft area is included in the mvhr system and benefits from an externally insulated roof, providing a large space which is as protected from mould and weathering as the other floors. Also a second hoist-hatch makes practical movement of boxes in and out significantly easier.

The Plot

Grounds & outbuildings
Slightly under 4 acre grounds about half steeper slope and half gentle slope, perfect for equestrian use or small grazing flocks.
Various old barn outbuilding ruins offer the potential to rebuild or replace.
Featuring a block-paved driveway from the road to level parking area large enough for 3-5 cars, grid-gravel system presents a natural gravel finish securing gravel in place. Also a large portion of the lower area is levelled and accessible from the driveway for additional parking, a future garage, or similar project. Any future expansion would be easily served via the 3-phase electricity connection and pre-laid duct for connection.
Two tiered level areas to the front of the house provide expansive typical lawn space.
Behind a large greenhouse, storage container, vegetable patches, raised flower beds, drystone walls, no-upkeep or equipment required 'natural' style pond, separate the lower meadow from the slopes and trees above.
The additional strip of land off the north-east border is currently set-up as a secret-garden apiary, and the hives can be inherited or removed, buyer's choice.

A natural haven for wildlife lovers, with owls, woodpeckers, cuckoos, hedgehogs, bats, frogs, and much more. Immersed within, yet separate from, a part of nature, but the structure of the house, surroundings and materials have been carefully considered to ensure that nature never compromises the house itself.

Location

Nestled quietly between Brynithel and Llanhilleth villages, this beautiful property has spectacular unspoiled views belonging to a country farmhouse, with bridleway access to stunning commons and the Brecon Beacons beyond, yet the house is still in walking distance of everything the hidden village provides, high-street, take-aways, shops, trains, etc.
Surprisingly well connected, Llanhilleth to London in 2hrs20 via good train connections to Cardiff and Newport. Also 25 mins to key motorway connections in all directions, e.g., Newport in 25mins, Bristol in under an hour.

However if you're new to the area, almost everything you could want is 5-15 minutes drive: Schools, shopping, entertainment, industries, etc, as well as wonderfully unique things such as steam railways, waterfall walks, pit mines, quarry lagoon, community cinema.
