This detached farmhouse, which dates back to the 16th century, is surrounded by open countryside on our 400 acre working family farm, where you can enjoy extensive views
of the Begwyn Hills and can see the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons, along with woodland and wildlife.
 
It is situated in absolute peace and quiet in an unspoilt superb location at the end of a private lane, secluded but not isolated. For 2003 the farmhouse has been totally refurbished with all new beds. 

The farmhouse is a must for nature lovers, nearby is Rhosgoch Bog, a conservation area, it is a birdwatchers' paradise, but is only to be accessed with a pass or guide. On the 'Roundabout' on the Begwyns, on a clear day there are absolutely spectacular views and you can see seven counties. 

Oak beams, thick stone walls and original bread oven in the large farmhouse kitchen retain much of the character of the original building, whilst every modern convenience is provided to make your stay comfortable whatever the season.   
 
There is an enclosed gravel area at the rear of the house and a large private garden and lawn at the front and side. There is garden furniture and a barbecue.

Ample parking space for 5 or more cars, and an outside building for bicycles in the summer, and sledges in the winter!
