Occupying a delightful position just outside the thriving community of Llanfallteg, this wonderful barn conversion has been lovingly renovated by its current owners.

However, Ysgubor now stands as a testament to their hard work and vision.

The sale also includes a range of outbuildings, including a one bedroom self-contained cottage, and approximately ten acres of prime pasture on this charming, south facing site.

Recently run as a highly successful, and award winning, bed and breakfast space this first floor level would also offer the perfect space for a multi-generational buyer looking to purchase a property that includes a self-contained space. When the property was renovated, services were brought up to the first bedroom to enable a kitchen to be fitted, if required, making it ideal as a one bedroom annex to the main home. If this was not needed the space could be effortlessly integrated into the property to provide a master ensuite with its own spacious dressing room.
Externally the property also offers a large, oak framed, double garage with storage above. To the rear of this structure is a wonderful, and unexpected, addition to the home, a one bedroom cottage.
