This charming character property in the village of Defynnog boasts a fine location for a rural getaway with friends or family. Right behind the dwelling is a peaceful church and garden – home to what’s believed to be Europe’s (if not the world’s) oldest yew tree, offering a truly awe-inspiring backdrop. It’s just 0.5 miles away from the village of Sennybridge (Pontsenni), the largest in the Upper Usk Valley, where you’ll find a thriving sheep market, handy shops and welcoming local pubs. Brecon (9.5 miles) offers everything from canal walks to cultural spots, while Llandovery (12.5 miles) is a historic market town with plenty of character. Trecastle and its surrounding areas are great for exploring, with local attractions and walking trails galore.
Step through the front door into a welcoming hallway, which leads to a cosy living room on the right, with its lovely feature fireplace and wood burning stove. There are a number of original features in the property, including the original 19th-century wooden doors. Unwind on the sofa, perhaps watching something on the Smart TV. To the left, the bright and airy kitchen has windows at both ends, including a delightful stone archway framing one view. The dining area sets you up for relaxed mealtimes. Upstairs, a king-size bedroom lies to the left at the top of the staircase, with the bathroom straight ahead and a twin room to the right.
For a breath of fresh air, head across the road and up a short lane (around 10 metres) to reach your private garden, which has a grassy section, pebbled steps and a bench for making the most of the setting and far-reaching views.
