A home with Welsh character
At the heart of the house, the kitchen/dining room pairs original Welsh flagstones and exposed stonework with bespoke wooden units and an inglenook fireplace housing a traditional Rayburn. The light-filled sitting room has its own inglenook and wood-burning stove, with French doors opening onto the terrace.
Upstairs are three bedrooms with exposed beams and whitewashed stonework, together with a family bathroom. A useful utility/boot room provides space for coats, boots and a laundry room.
-
Outside, there is designated parking for both the cabins and private residence, a stream, woodland views, and space for the next owners to expand or diversify.

Cabins crafted for memorable stays
Set within the grounds, the bespoke timber cabins pair warm, natural interiors with contemporary comfort. Vaulted ceilings create a sense of space; underfloor heating and log burners make each cabin welcoming in every season. Each also has an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, Bosch appliances, two double bedrooms, a shower room and a private hot tub.
Their guest reputation is matched by an established trading history. Buyers interested in continuing the holiday-let business can contact the selling agent for further information about its online presence, financial performance, future bookings and potential arrangements. Any transfer of bookings, business assets or operating arrangements would be subject to agreement and relevant platform and contractual terms. Furnishings and contents are available by separate negotiation.
A remarkable setting, amenities within reach
The Elan Valley, Cambrian Mountains and Hafren Forest offer outstanding opportunities for walking, cycling, mountain biking and wildlife watching. Rhayader—known as the outdoor capital of Wales—is a short drive away, with independent shops, pubs, restaurants, a doctors’ surgery, pharmacy and traditional butcher. Llandrindod Wells, Newtown, Ludlow and Hereford offer larger supermarkets and further services.
A home with options
The cabins could provide private accommodation for parents or extended family, a retreat for visiting friends, or greater independence for older children. They could also continue as holiday accommodation, or be used for a combination of private and guest stays. Any residential use would be subject to relevant planning and other requirements.
