Nestled within the breathtaking River Irfon valley at the foot of Cefn Alltwineu, this exceptional Grade II listed farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional Welsh home of immense character, set within 13.353 acres of gardens, pasture and woodland extending to the banks of the River Irfon.

Occupying a wonderfully private position within the Cambrian Mountains, the property enjoys a sense of complete tranquillity and seclusion, yet lies only around two miles from the charming spa town of Llanwrtyd Wells, offering a perfect balance between peaceful rural living and convenient access to local amenities.

Approached via a private one-mile track, shared only with the neighbouring farms, the journey to the house immediately conveys the sense of escape and serenity that defines this special setting.

The farmhouse itself is rich in traditional features that celebrate its historic origins, including exposed beams, sash windows, flagstone flooring and character fireplaces.

The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room, a welcoming and sociable space centred around a recently installed wood-burning stove set upon stone flooring, creating an ideal setting for family gatherings and relaxed entertaining.

A separate sitting room provides a cosy retreat, perfect for quieter evenings by the fire, while a practical ground floor utility room and shower room add convenience well suited to country living.

Upstairs, the first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, each enjoying delightful views across the surrounding countryside and the Irfon valley.

In addition, a smaller room accessed through one of the bedrooms offers valuable flexibility and could serve as an occasional fourth bedroom, dressing room, nursery or study, allowing the accommodation to adapt easily to a variety of lifestyles.

The farmhouse has also been successfully operated as a holiday let, attracting a loyal stream of returning guests who return year after year.

Once experienced in person, it quickly becomes clear why the property enjoys such repeat business, with its remarkable setting, characterful interiors and peaceful atmosphere creating a truly memorable rural retreat.

The setting of Alltwineu is truly exceptional. Surrounding the farmhouse are mature gardens, a sheltered walled seating area and extensive grounds extending to 13.353 acres.

The land comprises a mix of grazing pasture, established woodland and direct river frontage, creating a diverse and picturesque landscape rich in wildlife.

The River Irfon itself runs along the lower part of the land, providing a beautiful natural feature and a haven for walkers, anglers and nature enthusiasts, while offering a lifestyle closely connected with the surrounding countryside.

The property benefits from single bank fishing rights along the River Irfon where it is contiguous with the land, extending for over a mile both upstream and downstream, offering a superb stretch of prime fishing.

Adjacent to the farmhouse stands a range of attractive Grade II listed stone outbuildings, full of character and historic charm.

These provide a variety of useful spaces including stores, a wood store and larger outbuildings, offering excellent potential for a range of uses subject to the necessary consents.
