Property Description

Howey Hall is an early 19th century villa extended on both sides now comprising a spacious 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom, wonderful house complemented externally by garaging and workshops, stables, menage and land, in total extending to approximately 9 acres.

The property has been fully refurbished by the current owners, carefully retaining a wealth of original features such as the dog leg staircase, corniced ceilings, new and refurbished oak flooring, timber work, panel doors and shutters. The extensive works have included re-roofing utilising original materials where possible, re-plumbing including new oil fired boiler, re-wiring including smoke detection, wired CCTV and alarm systems to house and workshops, 98% new hardwood double glazed sash windows and French doors, internal re-plastering and of course, new kitchens and bathrooms culminating in an unusual opportunity to purchase a property of this period without the normal required cost of improvement. Externally, the grounds have been landscaped, the former Grooms quarters refurbished to provide separate annexe for extended family or guests, and as well as outbuilding improvements, custom built workshop suitable for hobby or commercial uses, subject to gaining any necessary permissions if applicable.

Situated on the edge of the village of Howey, the property is convenient to Llandrindod Wells, a flourishing Spa town during the Victorian Era and now the administrative centre for Powys, offers all amenities expected including supermarkets, local shops and businesses, hotels, restaurants, golf course, leisure and educational opportunities, hospital/healthcare facilities as well as rail links on the Swansea to Shrewsbury line. The whole of mid Wales is noted for its areas of natural beauty, wild flora and fauna renowned amongst the walking, riding and fishing fraternity.
