Location

Llanstephan is a semi-rural hamlet located near Boughrood and Llyswen, which are villages that are located to either side of the River Wye. They offer a selection of local facilities in the form of two public houses, a primary school, garage, shop, cafe, and village hall. The market towns of Brecon, Hay-on-Wye and Builth Wells are all around 10-15 minutes drive away and offer a wider range of social activities, shopping and leisure facilities. The surrounding countryside is particularly well known for its outstanding natural beauty with the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains and Wye Valley providing ample walking, cycling and riding opportunities.

General Information

Please be advised that there is an historic public footpath that runs across the two properties and into the field beyond which is no longer used. This footpath has since been diverted by an official signposted public footpath which now runs along the entrance driveway to No.1 and into the same adjacent field as before. The current owner has made an application for this section of the footpath to be officially updated on the plans by the local authority which has been acknowledged by the council but it awaits to be actioned. This may affect the ability to currently secure a mortgage on the property and therefore we are asking for cash buyers for this property to avoid disappointment, as mortgage lenders are likely to refuse a mortgage application for this reason until the footpath has been officially updated.

Services

We are informed that the property is connected to Mains water and electricity with a shared septic tank drainage system with next door.
