This impressive home has been carefully maintained and enhanced by the current owners, most notably with the addition of a stunning rear bedroom extension that significantly elevates both the scale and quality of the accommodation.</p><p>From the moment you step inside, the property conveys warmth, space and excellent presentation. The entrance hall provides access to a useful linen cupboard and leads through to the principal reception room, a bright and welcoming space featuring a bay window and an attractive woodburning stove.

The conservatory is a particularly appealing feature, designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that enjoy uninterrupted views over the garden. French doors and bi-folding doors open directly onto the patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and making the most of the desirable south-west facing aspect. An inner lobby off the reception room gives access to a staircase rising to a first-floor study, currently utilised as a sewing room, which in turn leads to a substantial roof space storage area. This versatile upper level provides excellent flexibility for home working, hobbies or further storage.</p><p>The modern L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room has been thoughtfully designed to provide ample space for preparation, cooking and informal dining. It incorporates a ‘Lazy Susan’ corner unit, pull-out larder cupboard, integral dishwasher, breakfast bar, worktop lighting and space and plumbing for a washing machine. French doors link back to the conservatory, enhancing the sociable layout and natural light throughout the ground floor.</p><p>The bedroom accommodation is generous and well arranged.

The gardens have been carefully planted with a variety of shrubs and plants, enhancing the outlook from within the house and successfully bringing the outside in.

It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that has been both thoughtfully improved and meticulously maintained, and in-person viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that it offers.</p><p></p><p>Newbridge-on-Wye is a charming and historic village in the heart of Mid Wales, just seven miles south of Rhayader. Perfectly positioned for convenience and countryside living, the village lies along the A470 - the main route connecting Rhayader to the north with Builth Wells to the south - and the B4358 provides links west to Beulah and east to Llandrindod Wells, making it an ideal base for commuters across Mid and South Wales. Rich in heritage, Newbridge-on-Wye was historically a key stopping point for drovers moving livestock, offering a safe crossing over the River Wye and fostering a thriving settlement with many inns and public houses. This history is commemorated today by the drovers’ statue on the village green. Although the village’s railway station on the Mid-Wales Railway closed in 1962, the old railway bridge and residential development on the station site preserve its legacy. Today, the village maintains a friendly and well-connected community with a Post Office, two public houses, a primary school, and plenty of scenic walks, offering an ideal blend of history, charm, and accessibility amidst the stunning Welsh countryside.</p>
