Cwmchwefru Farmhouse Llanafan Fawr, Builth Wells, Powys, LD2 3PW

Property Description

Cwm Chwefru Farmhouse was part of the former farmstead believed to date from 1643, when constructed of stone walls beneath a Welsh slate roof. The property has been sympathetically restored retaining a wealth of original features, to include; large inglenook fireplace with bread oven, occasional oak panelling to walls and floor and extensive timber beams and lintels. These have been integrated with the modern convenience of oil fired central heating system and modern kitchen units with further character features such as wood burning stove and attractive "eyebrow" windows also added.

Semi-detached to the property - within the converted farm buildings - is the small and exclusive Cwm Chwefru holiday cottages.

Cwm Chwefru stands almost oblivious to all the hustle and bustle of 'city life' yet is conveniently accessible, with the village of Newbridge-on-Wye (4 ½ miles) offering fundamental facilities in the form of Post Office and general stores, public houses, primary school, etc. Further amenities are available at Builth Wells (7 ½ miles), Llandrindod Wells (9 ½ miles) and Rhayader (12 ½ miles). These include a range of shopping and financial services, secondary schools, golf clubs, sports centres and railway stations. The whole of the Mid Wales area is renowned amongst the walking and riding fraternity, for admiring the Red Kite, associated with fishing on the River Wye and Elan Valley Lakes and offering an abundance of areas of outstanding natural beauty. Llanelwedd, Nr. Builth Wells is also the home of the Royal Welsh Showground which holds major events throughout the year.
