Georgian country house / Open fire
A substantial Georgian farmhouse with an open coal fire and fine country views. This handsome gentlemen’s residence was built by the owner’s ancestor in 1751 – a fact proclaimed by the stone-carved inscription above the oak front door.
Newbuildings is a place to relax and feel at home, enjoy each others’ company, or find a quiet spot for reflection. This traditional Welsh farm house, with all the comforts of modern living, makes an ideal holiday retreat year round, particularly during the festive period. The old oak interior and fine staircase come alive with the glow of candle light, whilst traditional decorations and Christmas trees add to the charm. The house also lends itself to family parties or even weddings due to its countryside seclusion.
Situated in glorious Radnorshire countryside, the house, standing proudly in a spacious gravel court, is approached by a sweeping drive flanked with trees. Seemingly in the middle of no-where, it is just 7 miles from Builth Wells and Hay-on-Wye ‘the book capital’ of the British Isles, and 15 miles from Brecon. The Welsh countryside offers a wealth of activities including walking, cycling, water-based activities and horse riding. The owner occupies a self-contained bothy to the rear of the house.
Shop 7 miles, pub 3.5 miles, restaurant 4 miles.
