Not only is this beautiful farmhouse situated on a working farm, it resides in the heart of the Brecon Beacons. Renowned for its natural beauty, the location isn’t the only wonderful part. Bursting with traditional features, yet tastefully modernised, this home exudes comfort. On a cold winter's day, kick your slippers onto the flagstone floors and snuggle next to the wood burner – it’s the ideal spot after a day of wildlife watching or hiking the trails in the area. A short stroll from the farmhouse and you’ll find Gilestone Pond, a haven for nature lovers and a place of pure tranquillity, and the local village of Talybont-on-Usk has a selection of cosy pubs and a village shop to be enjoyed. In summer months, dine alfresco on the patio area – don’t forget your favourite tipple – and while away the hours enjoying the peace of your home's surrounding nature. When the nights draw cooler, dining next to the AGA will be the perfect place to indulge in your Sunday roast. This is a wonderful home for a large family wanting to wrap themselves in natural beauty, but if you need a little solitude, you’ll always find a quiet nook for... yourself.
