Stunning views towards the Black Mountains

A substantial detached stone house set behind Llowes church, this four-bedroom (with flexible fifth room) home occupies a very large, private plot with mature gardens, summer house and workshop. The conservatory and open kitchen/dining room frame long views toward the Black Mountains, making it an attractive family home or rural retreat close to Hay-on-Wye.
The property retains period character in its granite stone walls and traditional exterior, while benefitting from modern kitchen fittings and a conservatory that extends living space. Practical assets include a garage, good broadband speeds, very low local crime and convenient village amenities such as a pub and church.
Buyers should note some important limitations: the property was built before 1900 with stone walls assumed to have no insulation, double glazing dates from before 2002, and heating is via electric storage heaters. These factors will affect running costs and could require insulation or heating upgrades. Council tax is described as expensive and the area’s socio-economic measures show pockets of deprivation, though the local community is rural white-collar oriented.
Offered freehold and with no onward chain, the house is best suited to buyers seeking a characterful country home with scope to improve energy efficiency and modernise where desired. Its size, garden and location provide clear potential for family living, home working, or a second/holiday residence near Hay-on-Wye.
