Property Details

Calling All Writers, Artists & Creatives and those seeking peace and tranquility to check out a very special, quirky & unusual home …a place to switch off, dream & be inspired!
Amongst the glorious Mid Wales scenery with spectacular views up to the hills and down the valley, Cefnbach seems wonderfully rural & remote yet three and a half miles in either direction are all the amenities needed for contemporary living. The Victorian Spa town of Llandrindod Wells in one direction ie. 10 mins approx to a good & large Tesco! while Builth Wells - home of the annual Royal Welsh Show - is in the other, plus half way between Hay on Wye 35 minutes and Rhayader 20 minutes in the other. Cefnbach really does have the best of both worlds and not to far from the renowned market town of Hay on Wye famous for the Hay Festival! A lovingly restored 13th Century farm worker’s cottage at the end of a stone track leading directly to the property. With its Inglenook fireplace and working bread/pizza oven, you can forget modern life, relax, and enjoy your little piece of heaven - something the current owners have done for more than 40 years. Cefnbach is set within its own grounds of approximately 4 acres. The accommodation is made up of the original cottage and adjacent converted barn. The cottage:
lounge with inglenook fireplace, exposed oak beams, flagstone floor, and original steps to the Master bedroom with its ancient Cruck frame. The connecting room, at present used as a bedroom, could also be used as a dressing room. From the lounge an old oak door leads to the farmhouse kitchen - seating for 8 - which has quarry tiled floor, a recently installed Rangemaster Professional cooker, and oil-fired boiler for the central heating. Stairs to the side of the kitchen lead to bedroom 2 and a family bathroom with roll top bath, basin etc. From the kitchen a door leads out to the South facing garden and glorious views. The adjacent converted barn with its own independent heating system has a second light filled living room with floor to ceiling picture window, oak hardwood flooring and shower bathroom. The bedroom behind has a 2nd rolled top bath, cloakroom and mezzanine sleeping area above. Between the two rooms there are a separate utility and larder spaces. The cottage has a much-loved mature garden with large outdoor table, barbecue and fire pit facing South, plus 2 adjacent fields. There is also a hot water outside shower - very discreet ! and useful garage/garden shed. Cefnbach has its own private water supply / a very efficient bore hole with new replacement pump installed last year.
