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

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.

The cabins are currently fully furnished with hot tubs, the contents and furnishings can be available by separate negotiation.
