3 Bedroom Character Property for sale in Builth Wells

2 3 2

In a wonderful, rural, but not isolated position, The Barns at Boatside offer a stunning country retreat with far-reaching views over farmland, and across the pretty River Wye in the heart of The Wye Valley. 

Approached from the B4567, a driveway meanders down to just the neighbouring property and this one, and a private entrance opens up into a large parking area suitable for numerous vehicles in front of the first garage and outbuilding block. Entering the residence itself, a pedestrian gate leads into a walled courtyard garden which in turn gives access into the wonderful kitchen. Measuring 12.17 x 2.58m, there is ample space for food preparation, cooking and dining, and the large floor to ceiling oak, double glazed windows all along the front flood the room with natural light. A door from the dining area opens up into a wonderful reception room, measuring 7.95 x 4.02mwith woodburning stove in the corner, and lovely views out to the river bordering the edge of the garden. A door from the reception room opens up into a multi-functional downstairs bedroom/home study, measuring 6.21 x 2.25m, having double opening doors to the front, and a modern wet-room shower room off, enjoying a suite of shower, low-flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin. From the kitchen, a further door leads into a useful 4.70 x 3.17m utility room which is further connected to the second outbuilding.

An oak staircase rises from the reception room to the first floor landing, which in turn gives access into the two further double bedrooms. Both bedrooms are of good size, with the largest measuring 3.29 x 2.91m at the rear of the property, and the second measuring 3.14 x 2.65m. Both bedrooms enjoy bespoke double fitted wardrobes, maximising the space on offer, and the front bedroom enjoys a door out to the balcony, the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee, or evening glass of wine, with far-reaching views over the River Wye. The first floor accommodation is complete by a modern family bathroom, boasting a suite of panelled bath, low-flush WC and pedestal wash basin. 

Externally, the property benefits from the aforementioned outside parking area, and double opening doors lead into a timber constructed workshop/garage outbuilding. With a concrete floor, this is the perfect space for storing and working on vehicles, should the new owner wish to, and a door from here leads into an insulated home office housing a woodburning stove, with modern shower room off, which enjoys a suite of shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin. A staircase leads from the main workshop area to a useful storage area above the office/shower room. Adjoining the outbuilding is a large carport, which could double up as a useful wood store a short distance from the house itself. The second outbuilding is accessed from the utility room, and is ripe for conversion subject to the necessary permissions, to additional accommodation or a self-contained holiday let. Again, there is a useful storage area above the utility room. To the rear of the property, there is a level lawned area of good size, and to the front is a manicured terraced garden, with lovely seating areas to take in the stunning views, and stone steps leading down to the river level. The grounds are completed by the walled courtyard garden just outside the kitchen, a superb private space which can be enjoyed all year round. 

A stunning home, with a wealth of history and character, and completed to exacting standards - the finish is superb, with oak double glazed windows and doors, and an oak theme throughout to include the staircase. Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate this fantastic country residence. 

According to comparethemarket.com the property has a broadband speed of: 55.20 Mbps (average speed of Mbps).

The property is located in a rural position on the River Wye, a short distance from the village of Aberedw. The village itself sits in the Upper Wye Valley in classic Mid-Wales scenery, surrounded by farmland and hills and is approximately ten minutes by car from Builth Wells. The Village is home to the Historic site of Llewellyn’s Cave, and the remains of two medieval castles. The Seven Stars Inn has been a feature of the village of Aberedw for centuries. After closing briefly in 2018, it was purchased by a community fundraising drive and is now back to serving the hospitality needs of the village and the surrounding region. Builth Wells, just five miles away, has a range of amenities and facilities including Primary and Secondary Schools, a cinema, leisure centre, cricket, rugby, football and golf clubs. It is also home to the internationally famous Royal Welsh Show which is the largest agricultural show in Europe. The town has good transport links, is on a bus route between Cardiff and North Wales and is also served by Builth Road Railway Station on the Heart of Wales Line. Situated within the Wye Valley, an area of natural beauty and close to the Elan Valley at Rhayader, it is well-known as a walker’s paradise whilst the Red Kite feeding centre at Gigrin Farm offers a truly unique experience to see the rare and magnificent birds on a daily basis.
