Property code: OC-T32688

This beautiful property is in the perfect location to explore the Rhondda Valley, Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) and further afield in Wales. With six bedrooms, a swimming pool, fitness and games room and a large garden, it’s ideal for celebrations with families or friends, and welcomes dogs, too. The house is surrounded by incredible, unforgettable scenery of forests, mountains and waterfalls, with the spectacular Rhigos viewpoint just 5.5 miles away. Zip World Tower is only 8 miles away, where you can soar above the Welsh landscape on the world’s fastest seated zipline. Walkers and cyclists will find all kinds of scenic routes and trails to follow nearby, the beaches at Barry or Porthcawl are within 28 miles, and the bright lights of Cardiff are just 30 miles away

Enter the grand hallway of this handsome property to find a double-height space with timber beams. The staircase is ahead of you, and tucked below the mezzanine, there’s a dining table with room for up to eight people to enjoy meals together. From here, head to the family room, where you’ll find comfortable seating, an open fire and a Smart TV – the perfect spot in which to curl up and relax. There’s a kitchenette on the ground floor, with a table seating 12 and room for four at the breakfast bar, and also another small seating area. All six bedrooms are downstairs, three with en-suite shower rooms and the other three sharing a lovely family bathroom with a free-standing bath – a perfect spot for long soaks after a day in the great outdoors. There is also a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Head up the stairs to find the main living area: a spacious lounge/kitchen/diner features a wood burner near the seating area. There’s a dining table for four and a breakfast bar for two in this impressive room, which has a vaulted ceiling with original A-frame beams. When you’ve eaten, the sumptuous seating invites you to spend an evening relaxing, perhaps with a show on the Smart TV. Alternatively, gather in the cinema room with its raked seating and huge screen, and indulge in a movie extravaganza; just log onto your own streaming account (Netflix Apple TV+, etc) and project from your phone or device onto the screen. A fitness/games room has a table tennis table and a selection of gym equipment. Completing the first floor is another lovely bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

The enclosed garden has gorgeous views and is a fabulous place in which to spend a sunny day. It includes a large lawn where children and pets can play safely, as well as a patio with dining furniture. The lawn slopes, or can be accessed via five stone steps. From the first floor, doors lead on to a huge balcony which has an outdoor sofa and yet more of those incredible views. The special feature of this property is the separate building at the far end of the garden, which houses a heated swimming pool, plus a shower and WC. You’ll have private parking for four cars.

A beautiful house with plenty of space for a weeks holiday with an extended family. We had a fabulous Christmas, cooked great family meals for 11 in the well equipped kitchen, swam in the private pool, spent quality time together and relaxing time apart in the range of living spaces.
