Newbridge-On-Wye, Llandrindod Wells LD1

***Guide price £425,000 -£450,000***

A rare and amazing opportunity to purchase a piece of history in the heart of the enchanting Mid-Wales countryside! Tydabuan is situated in an elevated position, offering breathtaking southerly views towards the Eppynt Hills, both from the residence and the surrounding land. Tydabuan is a captivating traditional stone house, dating back to the 19th century and boasting approximately 200 years of character. Nestled within the heart of Wales, this former farmstead, now a charming smallholding, sits on a picturesque landscape of approximately 3 and a half acres, with gently sloping pasture to the rear ideal for equestrian or small livestock use and gardens to the side consisting of a variety of trees and some outbuildings. Common land can be accessed further up the land, providing stunning panoramic views and miles of countryside to explore including national trust footpaths.

Adjoined to the house are barns once used for livestock. Please take in to account they are in need of considerable work (new roof, second floor and possible some stonework) but provide scope for development into workshop space, storage, keeping of animals, or conversion into additional living space to either compliment the house or for letting purposes subject to necessary permissions being granted. Just up the lane is a detached stone built car port, originally a granary and currently in use as a wood store. There is also an area of hardstanding parallel to the house providing plenty of parking. A new septic tank and soakaway was installed in spring 2024. The property as a whole offers excellent opportunities for an enthusiast with practical skills or building knowledge.

Property Description

Entry to the house is through the galley kitchen or through a porch directly into the living room. Though modernized in the 1980s, period features abound, including an original inglenook open fireplace, bread oven, and wooden ceiling beams. Together, these create a captivating atmosphere and offer a dive back in time!

A small study with storage space and a bathroom/wet room can also be accessed from the ground floor living room. Upstairs offers three bedrooms, two double and one single, together with a WC with washbasin. Though functional, interior fixtures and fittings are in need of some updating. The property is for sale as seen.

Tydabuan is connected to mains electricity and Openreach telephone/broadband. There is excellent mobile phone signal. Central heating is run on lpg gas from a large cylinder situated to the side of the house (new tank installed in 2023). Water is supplied through a private well in a neighboring field, with full rights to access. The sellers are currently in the process of installing a new septic tank and soak away, together with carrying out some remedial works on the chimney stack so that it can be ready for a new log burner installation upon sale. The energy performance certificate is rated at F. Council Tax band E

Location

Tydabuan is situated 300m above sea level on a no-through lane leading to one other property. It is located 3 miles from the village of Newbridge-on-Wye and offers an ideal balance between tranquil rural living and convenience, with great access to amenities. Newbridge on Wye is located on the A470, the main route running North-South through Wales. The old market town of Rhayader lies 7 miles to the North, with Builth Wells almost equidistant to the south. The county town of Llandrindod Wells lies only 6 miles to the East. This offers all the facilities expected of a modern town, including shops, supermarkets, a main Post Office, and a railway station on the Heart of Wales line.

Newbridge-on-Wye was historically a stop off point for drovers, who moved livestock from place to place. Newbridge-on-Wye proved to be an ideal location for drovers to stop and rest because it afforded a safe crossing-point on the river Wye. This led to a settlement forming, including a large number of pubs. This fact is celebrated by the statue of a drover on the village green. Newbridge-on-Wye also sited a railway station on the Mid-Wales Railway, until its closure on December 31,1962.
