Property Description
Description
The heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, thoughtfully designed to create a light-filled and sociable space, perfect for modern family living and entertaining. The conversion has sympathetically retained much of the barn's original charm, complemented by contemporary finishes and extensive glazing that perfectly frames the stunning surrounding countryside.
The well-appointed accommodation currently comprises three generously proportioned bedrooms, with excellent potential to create further bedrooms, subject to the necessary alterations and consents. The ground floor offers a versatile study/reception room, ideal as a home office, snug or potential fourth bedroom, together with a practical utility room. To the first floor are two impressive double bedrooms, both benefitting from en-suite shower rooms and built-in wardrobes, whilst a spacious landing enhances the feeling of light and space. A particular highlight of the first floor is the magnificent reception room, where large picture windows perfectly frame the far-reaching countryside views towards Talgarth, creating a spectacular space for both relaxing and entertaining.
Location
Llanfilo is a small village situated between the regional market towns of Brecon and Talgarth. It lies approximately half a mile from the nearby main road therefore providing good access to local amenities. The nearest village is Bronllys where there is a petrol station with village store and local pub but most facilities can be found in Brecon including leisure centre complex, theatre, cinema, etc. Other renowned towns within the area include Hay-On-Wye approximately 9 miles, Builth Wells - home to the Royal Welsh Showground 13 miles, and Crickhowell approximately 14 miles. The surrounding area is known for its beautiful scenery including the Black Mountains just a short distance away and the Brecon Beacons Mountain Range where there are an abundance of walks.
Walk Inside
The front door opens into the impressive kitchen, featuring bespoke units, a large central island and a traditional AGA, creating a warm and inviting heart to the home. From here, steps rise to the large walk in pantry, boot room/utility room, which benefits from an external door providing access to an adjoining open-fronted barn. Planning permission was granted for this area as part of the original consent, allowing for the creation of a study and an additional reception room, offering excellent potential for further accommodation and flexibility.
From the kitchen, steps descend into the stunning dining and living area, a beautifully light-filled space designed to make the most of the exceptional surroundings. With two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the exterior, this room enjoys wonderful views and a seamless connection with the landscape. A striking stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove provides a charming focal point, adding warmth and character.
To the right of the kitchen, double doors open into the hallway, where a staircase rises to the first floor, alongside a useful storage cupboard and a downstairs wet room. Continuing through the hallway, you reach the study, a versatile and peaceful room that could also serve as a cosy snug or additional reception space. A door leads out to the front driveway, while a further door provides access to the downstairs bedroom/reception room, offering flexible accommodation to suit a variety of needs
.
The staircase rises to the first-floor landing, a spacious and versatile area that provides the perfect setting for a reading nook or a peaceful place to relax. An airing cupboard, adding further practicality.
To the left of the landing is Bedroom Two, a generously sized and beautifully presented room featuring built-in wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and lovely views across the surrounding countryside.
To the right, a door opens into the impressive master bedroom, a particularly spacious retreat offering ample storage, a en-suite and direct access onto the balcony, where the elevated position allows you to fully appreciate the spectacular outlook. The room is further enhanced by the addition of a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere.
At the rear of the hallway is the reception room, where the elevated position of the property truly showcases the outstanding far-reaching views. This exceptional space also benefits from a further wood-burning stove, providing a warm and welcoming focal point while making the most of the stunning setting.
Walk Outside
Externally, the property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample parking, together with a car port and a range of useful outbuildings. The beautifully landscaped gardens are a particular feature, incorporating expansive lawns, mature trees, established borders, a greenhouse and a picturesque wildlife pond, all combining to create an idyllic outdoor setting.
A further significant asset is the substantial detached traditional barn, offering excellent potential for conversion into additional residential accommodation, holiday cottages, home office space or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.
The land extends to approximately 26 acres (10.52 hectares) of productive agricultural land laid to permanent pasture. The holding is divided into a number of well-sized and manageable parcels, enclosed by mature hedgerows and stock-proof fencing, making it ideally suited to efficient livestock management and rotational grazing. Convenient direct access is available from the council-maintained road, further enhancing the land's practicality for agricultural use.
The land is predominantly level and is classified as Grade 2 on the Agricultural Land Classification Map (Wales), denoting good quality agricultural land. It is well suited to grazing, fodder production and arable cropping, subject to the necessary consents.
