Rarely do properties in such a stunning waterside setting come to market, particularly those offering generous outdoor space and parking. Whilst the property has already been significantly improved and refurbished, creating a bright and welcoming home; there is still plenty of opportunity for a purchaser to add their own style and finish.<br/><br/>A glazed exterior door opens into a welcoming central hallway from which all principal rooms can be accessed. There is a wonderful reception room, flooded with natural light from a large bay window which perfectly frames the spectacular outlook across the garden, river and open countryside beyond.

The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive room with built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors and a lovely bay window enjoying views over the garden towards the river. This room also benefits from an ensuite bathroom awaiting renovation. Bedroom two is a spacious double room, currently used as a home gym. The family bathroom has been completely renewed with a contemporary white suite. There is a space saving staircase off the hallway, which provides access to the room in the roof with scope for further extension (subject to gaining any necessary permissions). The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, double glazing and a light, modern finish throughout.<br/><br/><b>Outside</b> - The outside space is undoubtedly one of Ty Afon's greatest attractions. The property stands within a generous, level garden which runs alongside the River Wye, creating a truly exceptional setting rarely found on the open market. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, providing ample space for families, keen gardeners or simply those looking to enjoy the tranquillity of riverside living. A paved seating area directly adjoining the property provides the perfect place to sit and enjoy the ever-changing views of the river and surrounding countryside.<br/><br/>To the side of the property is extensive driveway parking for up to four vehicles, together with a detached garage offering excellent storage and further renovation opportunities.
