Nestled in the stunning countryside of the Brecon Beacons, just a stone's throw from the market towns of Llandeilo and Llandovery, Ynyswen Barcud is a cosy cottage retreat for the whole family. The cottage offers a modern finish with rustic features, stained glass panels (made by Lesley, the owner), a cosy log-burner and expansive gardens. If you enjoy hiking, stargazing, cycling or bird watching, this is a perfect base, with lots for all ages to explore.
Lovingly built by the owners themselves over 3 years, the high level of detail and care taken over this property's layout is obvious.
The large, welcoming hallway gives way to a sizeable, comfortable living room. Immediately you notice the stone fireplace with log burner, around which you will find two sofas and an armchair to relax on. There is a SMART TV with Freeview and Blu Ray player, along with a selection of DVDs, books, and games for quiet nights in. At the far corner of the room, a workspace with desk is provided, as well as an extra drop leaf table. Patio doors lead to the patio area outside.
On the opposite end of the hallways, is the door leading to their modern kitchen diner. This is a large communal space filled with light, with all the mod cons required for making family meals. The fully equipped kitchen has an electric oven with electric hob, microwave, kettle, Dolce Gusto Coffee machine, under counter dishwasher, 4 slice toaster, sandwich toaster, American style fridge freezer and a comprehensive range of crockery and kitchen utensils.
