4 bedroom detached house for sale

Nestled within the stunning scenery of the south west area of the spectacular Bannau Brycheiniog National Park this handsome house called Cysgod-y-Foel is a much-loved family home that offers a pretty location, practical spaces and lots of potential both inside and out.

The house is located within the historic village of Penderyn off the A4059, the road that links the valley towns of Aberdare and Hirwaun to the A470 route to Brecon, soaring to the top of hills and meandering through open fields surrounded by staggering views.

There's an integrated garage that could be converted into more accommodation if planning allows plus ample off-road parking, and a sunny front and rear garden.

However there is the chance to purchase more land, about 10.75 acres in total along with the house or separately as just a parcel of land. The land is located nearby at Ystradellte and includes four paddocks for ponies and horses, a large concrete and metal barn, plus potential to create an income as the sale comes with planning permission from the National Park to erect four tourism pods reference number 22/21362/FUL.

Step Inside: - Step inside this handsome home called Cysgod-y-Foel, just one of a pair of unique detached houses on this quiet residential road, and you are greeted by a light and spacious hall decorated in soft tones and accented by a tactile wood floor.

It's a wonderful welcome that instantly hugs you in warmth and the promise of spacious rooms that create a happy family home across three reception rooms and four bedrooms. There's a handy cloakroom next to the front door before the home entices you into the first social space at the front of the house.

It's a formal dining room that can host a range of social gatherings, from enjoying a family meal or evening dinner party, to a relaxing weekend brunch or a rushed breakfast on a busy weekday morning, with the rural view at the window a constant and welcome guest.

Into the rear reception room to discover a comfortable lounge bathed in light from a set of glass doors. It's another social space that invites you to settle into a sofa or armchair around the feature gas fireplace and enjoy an evening chatting with the family, watching a movie or getting over-excited while the tense football match is on.

On the other side of the double doors is a stunning, social and sunny garden room. Windows on three sides ensure you feel cloaked by the garden views and immersed in nature while you sit with a coffee and watch the weather constantly change and the wildlife and birds rush about their business while you relax. The doors at the end of the garden room offer a seamless path to wander out onto the patio should the sun ever appear.

Next to the lounge the kitchen diner is another space where people can gather and enjoy company either as the head cook or as an eager, hungry guest at the kitchen table. The kitchen is well-equipped and can boast its own door to the garden and offers access to a separate utility room but a new owner might want to dive into creating their dream kitchen that suits their own personal style.

With three reception rooms plus the kitchen diner the house can also offer quiet spaces away from any gathering, and it could offer extra accommodation if planning was granted to convert the garage into another lounge, a playroom for the children, a home office, gym or even a ground floor ensuite guest bedroom

Back to the welcoming hall to access the stairs and explore the first floor bedrooms. The principal is found at the front of the house and can boast the best views over this area of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park from its elevated position.

Waking up to the dawn chorus and the promise of a mesmerising landscape surrounding the home is not a hardship, and with the ensuite just a few steps from the bed the morning begins with a reviving shower. Built-in storage is a bonus feature in this peaceful slumber space and is a handy feature replicated across the remaining double bedroom and two singles, one of which is currently being used as a home office.

Finally the family bathroom is calling you for a long, hot soak in the bath as the day draws to a close. Again it's a room that a new owner can treat to a makeover should they want to but currently it's a spacious and relaxing place to wash the day away.

Outside - Step outside and you are instantly nestled within the surrounding landscape of hills and hedgerows, valleys and woodland that this stunning location can offer.

Wander into the rear garden either via the side gate or from the kitchen or conservatory and you are cocooned by a wooded area that offers peace and privacy. The children and dog friendly space is surrounded by fences and stone walls plus a sizeable, sunny patio is the effortlessly enticing place to relax on a lounger, enjoy alfresco dining, and be the hub for entertaining family and friends.

In one corner of the garden there is a large and handy shed for storage and the lawn is a good size for enjoying ball games and hosting play equipment.

Sit in the front garden on the immaculate lawn to enjoy the best sweeping views to the horizon from the property accompanied by the soundtrack of birdsong. This area is equally inviting for cars too, with the brick driveway behind a wooden gate happy to offer space for multiple cars and vehicles such as a horse box or caravan.

There's an integrated garage to offer triple potential - an inside home for a car, useful storage, or the potential for conversion into more accommodation for the humans, subject to planning consent.

There is exciting scope outside at this property too - the potential to purchase 10.75 acres of land that includes a large brick and metal barn, ample parking, hedgerow and fencing and four paddocks perfect as a happy home for ponies and horses plus the opportunity to develop a smallholding endeavour if a new owner wants to pursue this option. The land comes with planning permission for four tourism pods to be erected on the land, planning number 22/21362/FUL, granted by Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. The land is sold on a leasehold basis.
