Summary - Myddfai, Llandovery. SA20 0NX
One-bedroom detached stone cottage in Brecon Beacons National Park
Set in the picturesque village of Myddfai within the Brecon Beacons National Park, this stone-built detached cottage offers a rare one-bedroom home with a large plot and substantial outbuilding. The property retains period character — exposed beams and terracotta tiles in the kitchen — and sits peacefully in a very low-crime, rural hamlet. Broadband is fast despite there being no mobile signal on site.
The adjoining double garage/workshop is a standout asset, offering storage, parking and genuine potential for development (subject to planning). The side and rear lawned gardens and red brick shed provide outdoor space that’s unusual for a cottage of this size and enhance future extension or landscaping options.
The house is sold freehold and requires upgrading throughout: the accommodation is modest in scale and the heating is oil-fired. Buyers should expect an internal renovation project to modernise services, décor and possibly reconfigure space. This makes the property well suited to a downsizer, countryside retreat buyer, or a purchaser seeking a sympathetic restoration with development upside.
Practical positives include no flood risk, low council tax, proximity to Llandovery’s shops and services, and the special setting of the National Park. Material drawbacks are clear: the cottage needs renovation, oil central heating is less efficient than mains gas, there is no mobile signal, and any conversion of the garage/workshop will require planning approval and associated costs.
