Ever dreamed of escaping the hubbub of modern life and moving to that idyllic dream home in the country? The Old Toll House dating from 1838 could make those aspirations come true, don’t want to commute, then work from home in the superb separate garden office. The Old Toll House is situated in the small hamlet of Dolau on the edge of the Radnor Forest, this beautiful, unique listed building is ready for new owners, after serving as a family home for nearly 30 years.

It was originally a toll house and later became a school. It was finally converted into a house in 1998 by the owner, Fernando Ordoñez, and it later won an award for its eye-catching architecture and design from CPRW.
The Old Toll House has a distinctive stone exterior and a mainly bare brick interior with original wainscoting throughout the ground floor. The exposed wooden beams hand crafted floating staircase and characterful carved details throughout this building make it a unique and stunning home.

The kitchen sits in the original octagonal toll house section of the house, with a lovely high ceiling and the original chimney. The three large hard wood windows make it a well-lit room with surrounding workspace and a view of rolling hills.
There is a downstairs bathroom with a bath and a wide flagstone corridor that leads into the main house. The living area consists of two large rooms with oak flooring, both well lit with windows that extend up through to the first floor. Leading on from here is a breath-taking conservatory which has unfloor heating and peaceful garden views.
The spiral staircase towards the back of the property leads to the first floor, where there are two adjoining bedrooms and an ensuite shower room. There is wooden flooring throughout and both rooms have space for a king-size bed.
The second bedroom offers access to a spacious attic space which has natural light, wooden floor and electric light and sockets.

Outside the property boarders the road on one side and is approached on the other by a gravel drive which has ample parking for several vehicles, from here a path leads to the property, here can be found the private garden with lawn, raised beds and a range of small bushes, trees and a patio area by the conservatory, where adjacent to this can be found the insulated outside office with vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers heated by wood burning stove to keep you warm on those chilly winter days as you toil away at your office desk.
