9 bedroom detached house for sale

On the market for only the third time in nearly 200 years, Felin Newydd is a beautifully restored and refurbished country house dating from the 17th century with mid-19th century additions. Extensive renovations have been undertaken by the present owners.
Situated mid-way between Hay-on-Wye and Brecon, the house is framed in a glorious setting with grazing land extending to over 18 acres. Approached by private electric gates and a sweeping gravel drive to the front, the grounds have been landscaped, with a large lawn stretching down to a stream and parkland beyond. There is also a walled kitchen garden with a greenhouse and a stable block with three loose boxes, feed room and paddock. There is ample parking for multiple vehicles.
Inside the house, there are exquisitely designed interiors with many well-preserved architectural features including decorative plasterwork, shuttered sash windows, original oak flooring, feature fireplaces and a curved wooden staircase lit by an exceptional glass cupola.
To the side of the house there is a substantial period coach house. Part of this has been converted into a soundproofed music studio/home office but the rest offers good potential for further upgrades.
Felin Newydd is a beautifully balanced country house and a true family home, combining scale with ease of living, all set within gracious and extensive grounds.
