Penrheol Cottage is a spacious five-bedroom semi-detached cottage set in a large rural plot near Builth Wells. The house totals about 2,350 sq ft of living space (plus a 315 sq ft garage), with four reception rooms, former stables and generous gardens — a layout that previously functioned as two separate cottages and suits multi-generational use or rental conversion, subject to permissions.
The property combines traditional cottage character — pitched roof, dormer windows, brick fireplace and timber mantelpiece — with some more recent upgrades such as double glazing (installed post-2002) and an air-source heat pump with underfloor electric heating. Large windows and double-glazed doors bring countryside light and views into the principal rooms.
There are clear opportunities and some material drawbacks: internal decor is dated in places and the living areas need modernisation; the EPC rating is D. The house sits in a very deprived wider area which may affect resale demand, and council tax is noted as expensive. Flood risk is low and local crime levels are very low, while mobile signal and broadband are strong — useful for home working.
Overall this is a roomy countryside property with flexible accommodation, substantial outdoor space and conversion potential, best suited to buyers seeking rural family living, multi-generational layouts, or an investment requiring some refurbishment work.
