Sunnybank is a tastefully modernised 3-bedroom stone cottage set in a secluded upland hamlet, offering 1,486 ft² of living space and about 2.9 acres of pasture and mixed woodland. The house combines period character — stone walls, inglenook fireplace and low ceilings in parts — with contemporary comforts including a modern kitchen, two bathrooms, double glazing and a “green” heating package of Solar PV and an air-source heat pump (EPC C, 69). Outbuildings include a workshop, greenhouse, stables and poultry houses, useful for smallholding or hobby equestrian use.
The site suits buyers seeking privacy and countryside lifestyle: the property is screened by mature trees, the nearest neighbour is roughly a quarter-mile away and there are far-reaching, unspoilt views. The plot includes a large yard and cottage garden plus sloping permanent pasture and woodland ideal for grazing or amenity use. Broadband is reported as fast and the location gives ready access to quiet roads, bridleways and nearby villages and services (Penybont, Llandrindod Wells).
Practical considerations are clear and important. Access is via a minor council road (single-track in places) and a private 250-yard hardcore lane — not suitable for those who need immediate, urban convenience. Main heating is provided by an LPG boiler with underfloor heating in places and bottled LPG remains the primary fuel (requires regular refills). Some rooms have low or sloping ceilings; purchasers seeking large, modern room heights should note this. The property is sold freehold and has been newly renovated, but outbuildings and pasture will need ongoing maintenance.
This home will appeal to buyers after a comfortable, characterful rural retreat with space for animals, hobbies or small-scale agriculture. It is best suited to those who value privacy, landscape and a self-reliant lifestyle rather than instant access to town amenities.
