About this property

Escape to the Hillis

Get the whole gang together in this charming, rustic farmhouse situated in the small and peaceful hamlet of Llanfilo. Perfect for groups of friends and multi-generational families, the characterful property nestles on the fringes of the Brecon Beacons National Park, meaning hikers, cyclists and fellow lovers of the outdoors are spoiled for adventure opportunities. Visit Pwll-y-Wrach Nature Reserve (6 miles), which is renowned for its beautiful waterfall and peaceful trails. Alternatively, discover popular Hay-on-Wye (12 miles), otherwise known as the ‘Town of Books’ thanks to its world-famous wealth of historic bookstores that are complemented by a choice of traditional cafes and pubs. For national park adventures, the picturesque destinations of Talgarth, Bwlch, Talybont-on-Usk and Crickhowell are all within 14 miles.
Step inside this delightful period property and you’ll immediately notice that it’s overflowing with character. The intriguing layout is situated on many different levels. To your right, you’ll find four welcoming reception rooms – a games room, a living room, a dining room and a playroom/office (accessed via doors from the dining room). Check out the wonderful games room – a sociable space with flagstone floors and an open fire set in an exposed stone chimney – before heading to the main living room, which boasts a beautiful corner fireplace with a roaring wood burner. It also has two sets of French doors that connect the front and rear gardens, making it a perfect gathering spot for everyone. When it’s time to eat, make your way to the charming open-plan kitchen/diner – an exceptionally homely space with flagstone floors, exposed beams and a functional open fire alongside a quaint bread oven. Rustle up some dinner and eat with your loved ones at the elegant, bespoke table in the large dining room. Completing the ground floor, you’ll find a useful utility room and family shower room that has a unique sunken shower. Head upstairs to the first floor and you’ll find five beautifully decorated bedrooms, two of which are en-suite. From the first-floor master bedroom – which has a vaulted ceiling and exposed stone walls – you can access the final bedroom on the second floor, which features an impressive observatory where you can relax with a coffee and take in the garden views. Between them, the bedrooms boast one king-size room, three doubles, a cosy twin and a single bedroom. Completing the interior and connecting the master and twin bedrooms is a Jack and Jill bathroom.
Head outside to host a BBQ feast with your loved ones or enjoy al fresco dining on the large lawn area. Relax with a drink on the patio area and soak up the views of the 8 acres of surrounding gardens and woodlands. Guests can also benefit from private parking for up to six cars.
