An architect-designed, oak-framed detached home set in a picturesque courtyard in Velindre, between Brecon and Hay-on-Wye. The property offers a generous 2152 sq ft (approx. 200 sq m) of living space across multiple storeys, with a large plot and a stream-side setting that enhances privacy and charm.
Its eco credentials are a standout: triple glazing, solar thermal panels, whole-house ventilation, and a wood pellet boiler supplying underfloor heating to the ground floor. These features are likely to reduce running costs and appeal to buyers seeking sustainability without sacrificing contemporary comfort.
Internally the house blends modern and rustic elements — exposed oak framing, large windows, and bright living spaces — suited to family life or buyers wanting a roomy countryside base. The village location places amenities nearby, with a pub, community centre and public transport links, while the Brecon Beacons are easily accessible for outdoor pursuits.
Practical points to note: council tax is described as expensive, and local area measures show significant deprivation despite low crime. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are only average. The property was built between 2007–2011 so it is modern in construction, but the sizeable footprint and character features will require routine maintenance. The home has three bedrooms, so buyers needing more bedrooms should consider the layout versus overall space.
