Y Berllan

Detached House

Y Berllan is a stunning 4-bedroom detached property, full of period character, on the outskirts of the much sought-after historic droving village of Cilycwm. With open fields on either side, the house’s elevated position commands panoramic views of the upper reaches of the Towy Valley and the Cambrian Mountains are on the doorstep. The property is located in a Dark Sky area and is just on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The local market town of Llandovery, with its mainline railway station, well-regarded school, nationally renowned college and excellent selection of pubs and shops, is just over three miles away.

Built in the early 20th century, this red-brick, late-Victorian construction has a natural slate roof, high ceilings and large, graceful arched windows in the reception rooms and bedrooms. Once the Vicarage, the property has been lovingly refurbished and improved by the current owners. There is double glazing throughout, an open fireplace in the front reception, a wood-burner in the dining room and oil central heating with solid fuel Rayburn in the breakfast room.

The substantial two-floor red brick outbuilding is a former granary and cattle byre, converted to include a spacious, tiled games room, shed and bike storage space. The vendors have planning permission to convert the outbuilding into a holiday let/ additional living space. There is also a beautiful treehouse that can be used either as a workshop or summer house. The property is offered chain-free and there is also the option to purchase some of the current period furniture and appliances from the vendors if so desired.
