Llanafanfawr, Builth Wells, Powys, LD2

Rhysgog is a traditional former farmstead situated in a convenient yet rural position offering unspoilt characterful accommodation and a great opportunity for someone wishing to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the good life! The current owner purchased the property some 50 years ago and have certainly experienced the good life. As well as enjoying the charm that the Grade II listed property has to offer, it gave space for the family with 2 reception rooms on the ground floor, 4 bedrooms over and 3 further attic rooms above. The adjoining outbuildings served them well for the housing of livestock and fodder as well as storage, and offer exciting conversion potential, subject to gaining any necessary permissions. The land has been home to horses and now sheep but the main love has been creating an ecological haven for birds and wildlife. The original natural woodland was added to and now hosts over 200 bird boxes as well as wild flora including broad-leaved helleborine orchids, yellow rattle and ferns. Along the eastern boundary runs the Gwenwst brook which, as well as providing a wonderful amenity area and essential water for livestock, attracts a wide variety of fauna including otters. The property stands amidst attractive Mid Wales countryside yet is only a short drive from the villages of Garth, Newbridge on Wye and Beulah, with the market town of Builth Wells about 8 miles away. Builth Wells offers all amenities expected including a good range of shops and businesses, commended primary and secondary schools, sports centre, golf club, arts centre and it is also the home of The Royal Showground which has major events throughout the year. Further amenities are available at Llandrindod Wells and Brecon, 12 and 20 miles away respectively with the City of Hereford within reasonable driving distance. The whole of the Mid Wales area is renowned amongst the walking and riding fraternity, associated with fishing on the River Wye and Elan Valley Lakes and offers an abundance of areas of outstanding natural beauty.
