Seller Insight:
This lovely home, which was beautifully designed and built in 2005, enjoys a superb, elevated position in Merthyr Tydfil and enjoys spectacular views out towards the rolling hills and mountains that lie beyond the town. “It was both this amazing location and the superb design of the house itself that sold it to us, ” says the owner. “The minute you walk through the front door you get this fantastic sense of light and space, and as you come down into the main sitting room the view out across the valley is absolutely incredible. It’s definitely a house with the wow factor, and we fell for it the minute we stepped inside.”
“The house has been really cleverly designed to take full advantage of the setting and it’s also a real Tardis. The ceiling in the main living room stretches right the way up to the top of the house, which enhances the sense of space no end, and the dining room is situated on a mezzanine level overlooking the living room so not only is there a nice sense of connection between each space, but both rooms enjoy the fabulous views. We also have four good-size bedrooms and down on the bottom level of the house are an additional four rooms that we don’t currently use, so there really is a tremendous amount of space. In terms of the interior design, it’s all very stylish and modern and in great condition so the new owners won’t need to do a thing, and we also have the added benefit of a really nice garden. It’s arranged over three levels, two of which are fully decked so we have a lovely place where we can sit out and soak in those fantastic views.”
“The house is lovely, but i’d say the location is the standout feature. I came here because i’m a competitive mountain runner and this place couldn’t be more perfect in terms of the great outdoors! We’re just five minutes from the entrance to the Brecon Beacons National Park, Bike Park Wales is also on our doorstep, they’re even building a new indoor ski centre on the other side of the valley. We’re also just half an hour from Waterfall Country, which is absolutely breath-taking, and we’re not too far from the coast so it’s a location where we’ve been able to enjoy the absolute best of everything.”
“The living room is the standout room in the house, but i’d say that my office is one of my favourites. It has the same view as the living room and it’s a very tranquil space so it’s a real pleasure to work from home.”
“We’re surrounded by a rich and varied landscape that embodies everything from lush green valleys and steep mountains to beautiful lakes and vast swathes of woodland, and the town itself is a fascinating place and one that’s steeped in history. It’s also a place where we can access absolutely everything we need, and the transport links are really good so it’s relatively easy to get just about anywhere. I currently work in London and it only takes an hour and forty minutes from Newport station, and at the end of the day I get to come home to all of this.”
“Down on the bottom level of the house are four rooms that we’ve actually never used, but they are ripe for conversion into bedrooms or perhaps a home office and gym. Our neighbour has converted theirs into self-contained accommodation, which they currently rent out, so the possibilities are endless.”
“It will be the space that we’ll miss most, that and those amazing views, ” says the owner. “It’s been a fantastic family home, and i’ve no doubt that the new owners will love it every bit as much as we do and relish living in such an amazing part of Wales.”
