House For Sale £315,000
This exceptional family home was converted from an industrial building in the early 2000s to an extremely high standard and in its current guise offers up to four bedrooms, and up to three reception rooms, depending on the new owner's desired layout. One of the last tanneries in Builth Wells, the building was originally detached, providing a thick external wall between the newer neighbouring property. During the conversion to a residential dwelling, the entire property had all timber professionally treated, the external walls damp proofed, internal walls insulated and the roof completely renewed.
Approached from Newry Road, a canopy porch forming the base of the first floor balcony protects the front door from the elements and the internal accommodation briefly comprises a bespoke hand-made solid timber kitchen constructed from old reclaimed pine, enjoying ample space for food preparation and cooking, and a light and airy reception room, with 200 year old Dutch oak flooring, dual aspect windows and French doors leading out to the private gardens. There is plenty of room here for both dining and relaxing, whilst overlooking the private gardens and to the farmland beyond. From here, a door leads to the rear hallway, with another door outside, understairs storage cupboard, and the family bathroom, with suite of panelled bath, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
On the first floor, the flexibility of the accommodation really comes to the fore, with the landing giving access into a first floor reception room with oak flooring, feature fireplace housing a Yeoman Balanced Flue Gas Stove and French doors opening out on to the pleasant balcony. A door leads from here into the bedroom which is also accessed from the other side of the landing, with airing cupboard and understairs storage cupboard. This layout would make it easy for the new owners to add a family bathroom to the first floor, or an en-suite to the guest bedroom, should they wish.
A carpeted staircase rises from the first to the second floor, and the landing leads into what could be either classed as a third reception room, or a further double bedroom. Again, enjoying dual aspect windows and a Velux rooflight, this room provides a tranquil space overlooking the picturesque adjoining countryside. The master suite, which is of great size, boasts exposed beams and dual aspect windows, along with another Velux rooflight, also benefiting from an en-suite shower room with shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin, and a superb custom made solid timber walk in wardrobe/dressing room which runs the entire depth of the property.
Externally, the property enjoys lovely low maintenance private gardens to the rear and side, which borders a picturesque brook and small bridge making for a delightfully peaceful haven, with the benefit of two garden sheds, one with light and power laid on. There is also an off-road parking area and a single garage with light and power to the north side of the property, with additional street parking immediately outside the front door if required.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the layout of this fine family home works perfectly as it is, but can easily be altered to suit individual needs, and early viewings are highly recommended to appreciate this stunning building in its entirety!
