Description

The most idyllic country cottage nestled away in the rolling Welsh countryside with two outstanding bespoke holiday cabins, all in 2.5 acres of beautiful grounds.

Glan Yr Afon is a truly idyllic country cottage, tucked away in the rolling hills of mid-Wales. Full of character throughout, the property blends traditional charm with warmth and comfort, offering a wonderful base from which to enjoy rural Welsh life with the added benefit of two outstanding holiday cabins within the grounds.

The heart of the home is the kitchen/dining room, where original Welsh flagstones, exposed stonework and bespoke wooden units surround an inglenook fireplace housing a traditional Rayburn stove. The light-filled sitting room enjoys a double aspect and its own inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while French doors open onto the terrace beyond - perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living. There is a superb utility/boot room with plumbing for washing facilities and space for coats and boots.

Upstairs, three wonderful bedrooms showcase whitewashed stonework and exposed beams, full of rustic charm. A traditional family bathroom completes the accommodation. All of the rooms enjoy the beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding rolling countryside and valleys.

Outside
The property is set within 2.5 acres of beautiful rolling Welsh countryside. A private track driveway leads to ample parking for a number of vehicles. There is a terrace area providing the perfect spot for al-fresco dining and entertaining against a backdrop of glorious rural views.

The grounds include an idyllic wooded area and a stream, adding to the sense of peace and seclusion that defines this special setting.

Woolly Wood Cabins
Two outstanding, state-of-the-art holiday cabins occupy the grounds, finished to an exceptional standard and proven to be extremely successful. Each comprises an open-plan kitchen/sitting room with vaulted ceilings, underfloor heating, Bosch appliances and a log burner, together with a shower room and two double bedrooms, one set on a mezzanine level. The cabins are currently fully furnished with hot tubs, the contents and furnishings can be available by separate negotiation.

Situation
Glan Yr Afon enjoys an idyllic rural setting in the heart of Powys, surrounded by rolling Welsh countryside yet within easy reach of the amenities of Rhayader, Llandrindod Wells and Newtown.

Just a short drive from Rhayader – the outdoor capital of Wales – the property is perfectly positioned for those seeking a life immersed in the countryside. The spectacular Elan Valley, Cambrian Mountains and Hafren Forest are all close at hand, offering exceptional opportunities for walking, cycling, mountain biking, wildlife and adventure.

Despite its wonderfully rural setting, everyday life is convenient, with Rhayader providing independent shops, pubs, restaurants, a doctors’ surgery, pharmacy and traditional butchers, while larger supermarkets and further amenities are available in Llandrindod Wells and Newtown.
